So Sweet Bakery went out of business. At first, I had heard that it was by the end of the year. But then I saw on their Facebook page that they were closing doors this past weekend.
Now, most people take the top layer of the cake home with them when they married. But Sweet had a better option. They would make a new layer of your wedding cake for you close to your 1-year anniversary so that you could enjoy it fresh.
I emailed them early last week to see if there was any way possible that we could pick up a fresh layer of our delicious marble buttercream frosted with cannoli filling wedding cake. It didn't have to be big, just enough for two slices. I never heard back.
I guess when September rolls around we'll either have to ask another baker, which won't be the same as it is, or skip it altogether. Oh well.
It is a complete shame and an incredible loss for all those who already loved Sweet Bakery and all those folks who never got the chance to fall in love with their incredible cakes and personalized service. They took our idea, improved upon it and knocked it out of the park. Truly one of the highlights of our wedding. Tracy even made a Lucy for our cake!!
Scott: Agreed! Your cake was good and I loved the cake topper! :)

They closed without notifying customers that had put a deposit on a wedding cake. Found out they had closed from Groupon. Poor ethics and poor cutomer relations. Maybe a reason they're now out of business???? I want my $100 back.
