First, A Little History...

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop is a traditional and vegan boutique cupcakery that started as a mail-order/delivery bakery specializing in cookies and cupcakes. Because we want everyone to be able to enjoy our goodies, we have since become one of the only bakeries in the country to offer a full assortment of cupcakes, cookies and muffins with equally delicious vegan counterparts. Oh, and we also love catering weddings, parties, and events. This may stem from the fact that the dessert at our own wedding was relatively sub-par, and we are now on a mission to put right what once went wrong. You know, kinda like that guy from Quantum Leap, only more delicious.
