A SWEET Success

Thank you so much to everyone who came out on Friday and supported our Grand Opening. It was such a success and it wouldn’t have happened with out YOU! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We had such a wonderful time all day. From the ribbon cutting to announcing our iPad 2 winner (Lindsay Sattelle) it was a SWEET day with tons of fun holiday festivities! As most of you know, we had a hidden golden ticket in a cupcake on Friday. Unfortunately, no one claimed it! L We are going to wait till Wednesday, and if no one claims the ticket by then, we will have another golden ticket contest. The winner must bring the golden ticket to SWEET and let us know which cupcake it was in! In the meantime, here are some pictures taken on Friday!

     One more thing, this SWEET week brings a new holiday inspired flavor! Gingerbread Christmas: gingerbread cake with a cinnamon cream cheese filling and a chocolate rum butter cream! Yes. It is Christmas in your mouth!

SWEETening up in October!

October is a busy month!

SWEET thinks pink!
SWEET thinks pink in October!

We have New Fall Flavors: Apple Harvest and the Banana Pudding. The Apple Harvest is: A festival of Granny Smith apple pieces mixed into a brown sugar cupcake, topped with a candied pecan streusel and a cinnamon buttercream. Oh. My. Cupcake.

This SWEET, deserving young cupcake needs a name. And a home.

And we are looking for a name for our new Banana Pudding flavor, which is reminiscent of a backyard summertime favorite, with a vanilla wafer base, supporting the weight of a rich, creamy banana pudding filling. Your spoon is probably already jealous.

Name this new flavor creation and receive notoriety, plus a free dozen cupcakes!

Also, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: We have made hundreds of Vanilla Mini-Cupcakes with fresh, SWEETalicious raspberry frosting and pink ribbons for the “SWEET Cupcakes for a Cure,”  with proceeds being donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer awareness.

SWEET Cupcakes for a Cure!

Luncheon benefits were held at Trinity Collegiate and Thomas Hart Academy in Hartsville, honoring the town’s Positively Pink campaign.

Call 843-407-7071 for the SWEET deets on Bosses Day!

Additionally, Monday, October 17th, is Bosses Day. Our cake boss special is The “Big Kahuna:” Our oversized Key West Coconut flavor, with a creamy, key lime curd center, and tropical coconut topping. Just $4.50.

Order now for your favorite Big Kahuna. Or, maybe you’d rather pre-order a dozen of our assorted flavors, for the whole office to share on Monday, that’s only $33!

We love it when our SWEET staff at the order desk asks, “Well, how many people work in your office?” And you reply, “Oh, about half of them…”

Merry and bright and SWEET at the 2011 Merry Marketplace!

We were lucky enough to enjoy this year’s 2011 Florence Junior League’s Merry Marketplace at the Florence Civic Center, October 6-9th, with a Preview Party on Thursday night, where hundreds of cupcakes disappeared faster than you could say “Salted Caramel, please!”

Fabulously costumed dancers from local studios performed on stage, and even Santa himself made an appearance. It was a great event to kick off the holiday shopping season!

Finally, we are taking pre-orders for Halloween cupcakes. Halloween is on a Monday this year, so our guess is the kids will probably be having parties at school, in costume, on that day. (And then party on into the night…)

SWEET She! Ad on Page 65 of the October 2011

If we can help you with your Halloween party, a special birthday or event, an upcoming wedding, or even some tailgating treats, it is that wonderful season of enjoying the cool breezes of autumnal air, and even more reasons to get-together with friends.  Call us at 843-407-7071.

As always, it’d be SWEET to meet sometime soon.

Our first day was a SWEET success! Thanks to you!

Today was a sunny, hot, September day, and we were busy beyond our wildest expectations. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and patience! As I write, I am still covered in caramel sauce, so you can rest assured it was a great day. I’ll rest assured, and ready to face more happy people in cupcake land tomorrow. The Salted Caramels and Paint The Town Red Velvets sold out all day long. No surprise there. But our other signature flavors also sold like hotcakes. That is, if hotcakes sell like cupcakes…

Hungry for more? If you’d like to read a great review, checkout what Mrs. PeeDeeFoodie had to say in her glowing blog here. “A Sneak Peek at SWEET.” Clever!

See you sunnyside up and ready to brew fresh coffee and bake up more delicious SWEET treats on the flip side! SWEET dreams!

What could be SWEETer than to get out of a meeting and receive designer “Paint The Town Red” Red Velvet and sublimely savory “Salted Caramel” cupcakes?

Shauna Krawiec, MPT, of McLeod’s new Outpatient Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine facility was all smiles! We like to think our cupcakes are therapeutic in their own, SWEET way. Enjoy!

With SWEET, the sky’s the limit!
