Grand Opening - Day two - Today 8am - 1pm

Day Two of our Grand Opening is underway! By popular demand, we have increased our Red Velvet Cupcake production. But come early, as there are no guarantees we won't sell out again today. :)

Rest assured, there's always another delicious option on the dessert bar if your favorite item has already been gobbled up. Today, choose from Apple scones, raspberry linzer bars, chocolate chip cookies, Mama's pound cake and more! Yum

After a long, busy day it's always amazing to hear that someone's day was made sweeter by their stop in the shoppe. Becca, a brand new friend of Living the Sweet Life, took a minute to call yesterday afternoon, as we were cleaning up for the day.

"I just had to call and tell you that my mom and I shared one of your brownies and we both agree - it was the best brownie we've ever had in our lives. Seriously, it was life changing!"

Thanks for the call, Becca!

Come by today: bring your mom, dad, friend, baby or dog. And live the sweet life with us!

Today's Grand Opening!

We couldn't be more excited for our Grand Opening today and tomorrow. We have been busy preparing for it - with tons of samples showcasing our yummy items. One of our fabulous bakers, Randa, Living the Sweet Life's resident vegan, has prepared some of her gluten free and vegan items to share with you all. We're so excited to see her share her talents and expand our already amazing array of treats.

Bring the kids by to make a candy necklace, happening in our upstairs space. Jackie Green, face painter extraordinare, will be here from 12 - 2pm! And look for live music in the morning - the amazing beats of West African master drummer Koffi Toudji and his group.

Stop by, enjoy a treat, join the fun and savory the Sweet Life with us!

Can't wait to see you!
Erika, Jen & the Living the Sweet Life team.

The most thoughtful flowers...

This week we were fortunate to have some of Denver's amazing wedding vendors visit the shoppe for cupcakes and champagne. A local florist... Plumsage Flowers helped us out in making the space even more festive. Erin's designs are always beautiful and thoughtful. She definately tries to think of the best look for each client and space. Adding candy to the vases for the Sweet Shoppe was the perfect touch. Check out some photos at http://plumsageflowers.blogspot.com/

We are almost "Grand"!

It has been over 3 weeks with the retail shoppe open, we have held 5 parties in the space and sold many chocolate chip cookies... what an experience! This weekend is our official "Grand Opening"! As Jen explains we are open and pretty fabulous but not yet "Grand". Please stop by and join us for some free samples, a chance to win a $100 gift certificate and to make candy necklaces. We will make sure to have our case full of delicious treats including Caramel Apple Pies and the introduction of the Gluten Free Cupcakes! MMmmmm! See you Saturday between 8 and 3!

We Are Open

Our first day open was Friday and we could not have been more pleased. We sold out of our delicious treats by 2pm... thank you to the support of such wonderful friends and neighbors. Stop by as we continue to keep the counter full of our fresh treats... today on the menu: Mushroom Gruyere Quiche, Caramel Apple Pie, Old Fashioned Bisquits with Homemade Preserves, Chocolate Cupcakes and more... we hope to see you soon!

BAKE OFF....

Last night was the Living the Sweet Life BAKE OFF where 5 very talented bakers submitted his or her favorite desserts for tasting.  It is always so insightful to see what treats best represent someone.  Thank you to the bakers for taking the time to share yourself and your sweets.  It was a full table with the eye catching Ginger Cookies, Rustic Apple Tarts,  Creamy Cheesecake, Homemade mmmmmm Snickers and Flaky Strawberry Tart.  Thank you to the tasters... I know you went home with full bellies.
