Just an update for everyone who uses Facebook:

Be sure to become our fan on Sweet Avenue Bake Shop’s facebook page. Many of you are currently members of our group, but because of Facebook’s swanky new changes, we’re going to be moving everything over to our new Facebook page. If you become our fan, you’ll be able to see updates from Sweet Avenue right in your Facebook news feed. Be sure to say “Hi!” by writing on our wall.

Hi all!

We’re taking a snow day today. You should too! Go home early before it gets worse!

We apologize for any inconvenience to those of you who wanted to brave the snow for cupcakes. Blame Mother Nature, not us!

We’ll be back tomorrow. Hope to see you then.

We’re thrilled to finally announce that we have perfected our Gluten-Free/Wheat-Free cupcakes, after many months of hard work! At the moment, the following flavors are available for orders in quantities of a dozen. If you would like to place an order for Gluten-Free cupcakes, please let us know approximately 48 hours in advance. More advance notice is required for orders more than three dozen.

1. White Room (vanilla cake with vanilla bean frosting)
2. Dark Side of the Moon (vanilla cake with chocolate frosting)
3. Black and White (chocolate cake with vanilla bean frosting)
4. Jet Black (chocolate cake with chocolate frosting; topped with chocolate vermicelli)
5. Snowball (available in either vanilla or chocolate cake with coconut frosting; topped with shredded coconut)

We will also have one gluten-free cupcake flavor available for walk-in customers tomorrow (Wednesday, January 28th)!! At this time, we plan to have one gluten-free cupcake flavor available once or twice per week for walk-in customers, while all the flavors mentioned above are available for special orders.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not a gluten-free/wheat-free bakery, so trace amounts of gluten/wheat may be present. We are using all separate equipment for these items and are taking every precaution; however, non-gluten-free items are still baked in close proximity due to our very small kitchen. We want to make this clear for any of our customers with severe gluten allergies.

All of our cupcakes are dairy, egg and casein free.

I know we usually debut new flavors at the beginning of every month, but we’ve come up with something so amazingly awesome, that it just couldn’t be contained until February 1st. As such, we are debuting this brand new, super secret cupcake tomorrow (Sat. January 24th). We’re not going to tell you what it is yet. You’ll have to come in to see; however, we will tell you that it will most likely be the best cupcake you’ve ever had. It’s certainly Jake’s new favorite.

Come visit us tomorrow and try our new flavor.
We’ll be open normal hours: 11am – 7pm.

We got back from vacation and reopened this week. We missed you guys, but we have to admit, vacation was awesome. As many of you know, we visited Disney World over the holidays. We had a great time, since we love Disney and we got to spend some time with our family.

Here are a few photos from our vacation. Enjoy!

We’re back from our vacation with new flavors! Coming up this month we have awesome new flavors like Rosewater Pistachio, Hummingbird and Fleur de Sel Caramel! We’ll have more details and a finalized new daily menu with photos shortly, so check back soon.

For now, check out our daily menu. The new flavors will be there soon, don’t worry!

Christmas Eve has been awesome and insanely busy, so as we mentioned before, we’re taking off for vacation starting now! We will be closed from December 25th through January 5th, reopening on Tuesday, January 6th. If you want to reach us the best thing to do is to shoot us an email. We’ll respond as soon as we get back. Phone messages may take longer to get through, so email is definitely the best way to go if you want to hear back from us as soon as we return.

So that’s about it for us this year. We hope you have a great holiday, and we’ll see you in 2009!

Just a quick reminder that we will be open tomorrow (Christmas Eve) from 10am-4pm!

Also, we will be going on vacation (what up, Disney World?!) and will be closed from December 25th – January 5th. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 6th.

Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah & Happy New Year! See you in 2009!

Love & Cupcakes,
Danielle, Jake & Kristina

PS- Happy belated birthday to me! (Danielle, December 20th) and Happy early birthday to Jake (December 27th)!

We had another taker on our free cupcake for a cupcake tattoo offer.

This is Mia showing off her awesome cupcake tattoo. That’s definitely worth a free cupcake, we think, and the offer is still open, so if anyone else has a cupcake tattoo that you’re willing to show, then come get your free cupcake!
