Celebrate Dad with some sweet treats!

Father's Day is upon us this coming Sunday, June 19th...so don't forget to treat the dads in your life to something special. Living the Sweet Life will be making some extra goodies to treat dad - in addition to all of our regular sweets, we'll have mound balls and golf themed shortbread cookies - yum!

Just to give you a headstart on ideas - think about stopping in/ordering an assorted box of cookies, a tasty Saturday cinnamon roll, a combination of desserts (brownies, pecan caramel bars, cupcakes, etc). We'll have lots of treats to choose from, so you can find the perfect combination of sweets for dad.

And don't forget, since we're closed on Sunday, you'll have to stop in before then :)

Check us out in the June 5280 Magazine!

May's International Dessert Bar!

Last Thursday, Living the Sweet Life hosted our monthly tasting with an international themed dessert bar. Yum! We served Linzer torte, Mexican Wedding cookies, French Macarons and some delicious cupcakes. We were fortunate to have Lola from Mansurovs Photography document the evening in photos!

If you couldn't make it to this month's tasting or wonder what our tastings are like, feel free to give us a call or stop by the shoppe for more information. Tastings are hosted monthly. Brides, grooms and industry folks are welcome!

In the meantime, check out some of the lovely photos from May's event.

Life is Sweet...for Dogs!

Living the Sweet Life is making life a little sweeter for people and our doggie friends! Metromix Denver compiled a list of dog friendly bakeries in the area and we found ourselves on there for our tasty peanut butter dog treats. If you're coming in for a sweet treat for yourself, don't forget to pick something up for that special animal friend in your life too!

Royal Wedding Fever!

The happy couple is finally tying the knot! And in celebration of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton's happy union, we at Living the Sweet Life will have some special treats to make you feel like royalty too.

Stop in on Friday and grab a scone or a couple petit fours to enjoy with your afternoon tea. If you are not familiar with petit fours, they are basically a dainty little cake glazed in fondant or chocolate. We'll be taking orders for them as well, if you would like to share with friends on the special day! Don't forget, we have a variety of Tea Spot teas to enjoy as well.

And of course we will have all our regular goodies, so feel free to grab some cookies, brownies, pecan caramel bars, cupcakes, and more!

Order Treats for an Eggstra Special Easter and Passover.

Every Easter I would wake up to a house filled with Easter eggs and GAME ON... it didn't matter that my sister was significantly younger than I, I was ready to compete in the hunt. I still am known to host a neighborhood Egg Hunt and it is just as fun as always. After the hunt I get together with family and friends for a fabulous Easter brunch or dinner. These are some of my favorite treats to serve and I hope they become yours.
