Welcome Note

WELCOME!!!

This is Sweet Street's first blog! The only thing I know to do is introduce myself and tell you a little about my products and services!

After attending the culinary program at Horry Georgetown Technical College, I opened a small bakery/cafĂ© in Little River, SC called Bakery Boutique. There, I fell in love with creating and decorating special occasion cakes and cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, showers and even the simple “Girl’s Night.” Unfortunately, I had to close its doors due to complications with my pregnancy. Luckily, everything turned out to be fine and am now the proud mom of a healthy and beautiful baby boy. There is nothing more rewarding than becoming a mom and I have been blessed to find the best of both worlds!

My company, Sweet Street Designer Cakes and Cupcakes was founded soon after the birth of my son because I needed an outlet for my creativity. I use only the best quality and freshest ingredients found in our area. Many of my recipes were taught by my great-grandmother and are still done in the same old fashion way! I have truly set the bar on flavor by using real butter, fresh whole milk and cream, ripe fruit and pure extracts. I am a perfectionist and it shows in my work. From simple pearls to intricate lace designs, each cake is personalized just for my client and their event. Sweet Street’s creations truly are homemade with a gourmet flair!


Weddings

Wedding cakes are among my favorite projects! I use the Charleston-style pound cake, which has been a family favorite for four generations and are priced per slice or per person. Delivery is also available and strongly suggested. I can only guarantee a perfect cake when it's delivered and set up myself. I transport each tier separately, stack and put on all finishing touches on site. Wedding cakes should also be booked as far in advance as possible because I dedicate my weekend to only one wedding.

Showers, Birthdays and other Special Occasions

All special occasion cakes and cupcakes are available in various flavors, shapes, decoration options and are also priced per person. Delivery, set-up and stand rental is available, as well as party favors.

Favors and Toppers

Many brides are choosing a sweet favor for their guests, as well. My cookies include Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Cranberry, Chocolate Walnut, Toffee, Peanut Butter, Sugar and Spice, Linzer and Decorated Sugar. Iced and decorated Fudge Brownies are another treat that can be incorporated into your wedding day.
Iced and decorated sugar cookies are the perfect way to give a personalized thanks to your guests celebrating such a special day with you and yours. An array of shapes and decorations are available, including monogramming and stacked wedding cake cookies.
Packaging for these items include a clear bag tied with your choice of ribbon.
Cupcakes can also be great way to say "Thank You" to your guests! With our cupcake wrappers and individual cupcake boxes, your favors will rise above all others!


Handcrafted fondant bows and other toppers, as well as chocolate molded shapes and monograms are a beautiful way to compliment any cake or cupcake!

Cupcakes

I absolutely adore cupcakes and offer over 80 flavors. Each are made by hand with the freshest ingredients and fun & funky toppings. Seasonal flavors are also available. These are the PERFECT treats for any birthday, office party, wedding or even a "just because!" With cupcakes, everyday can be a celebration!

Care Instructions for Cakes and Cupcakes

I use the best quality and freshest ingredients found in the area and do not add any preservatives to my creations. Because of this, I encourages the consumption of each cake on the day it’s purchased.
If that is not possible, I suggest wrapping the box in plastic wrap so that it’s as air tight as possible and placing in the refrigerator. Sweet Street’s cakes and cupcakes are best enjoyed at room temperature, so be sure to let them come to between 68-72 degrees before eating (this could take close to an hour in some cases).
Please note that even when following these instructions, the consistency of the buttercream and ganache can be altered by refrigeration due to its butter content. That is why same-day consumption is recommended.

I'm super excited about being able to share all my thoughts, some of my tricks and even a few recipes with you! My mind is endlessly working and now I have an outlet for all these ideas!
