Here's a bit more info about Sweet Avenue:

Gourmet News wrote:

"A husband-and-wife team opened Sweet Avenue Bake Shop here in August. While the shop offers traditional cupcakes, the house specialty is vegan cupcakes with no animal ingredients. For walk-in customers, the shop offers brewed coffee by the cup and soymilk alongside traditional dairy.With a strong focus on catering, Sweet Avenue creates custom-designed cupcake tiers for events ranging from baby and bridal showers to birthday parties."

And the The New York Times says:

"Cupcakes are inherently cute, but at Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford they’re also playful and sometimes even slightly psychedelic. Of the 30 types of cupcakes on the rotating menu at this funky shop, nearly two-thirds are strictly vegan, made without dairy products or eggs. (Anywhere from 10 to 18 flavors are available on a given day.) It’s nearly impossible to distinguish the vegan cupcakes from the others. They are all charming and artfully arranged on cake stands in the display case. A taste test won’t betray the difference, either... The vegan cupcakes are appealing even for those who eat dairy products."

And check out how pretty they are! Works of art, each one!



See all you awesome New Jersey & New York folks there!
