Sweet Cakes

A former number-cruncher by trade, Susanne has always been happiest when she had one hand in the cookie jar. Growing up near Chicago, her own mother worked in a bakery and made phenomenal birthday cakes for her and her siblings. As an adult, Susanne baked for her friends and family before branching out to make wedding cakes and customized cookies out of a small, private bakery. Eventually, Sweet Cakes was born - and so was Susanne's daughter! So for the first few years, Susanne kept the business small and specialized, filling just the requests of loyal customers. Now that her daughter is in school, Susanne is letting the whole neighborhood get a taste of Sweet Cakes' goodness with the opening of her fun, friendly store.
