let them eat cake

Sugared & Spiced Baked Goods, home of the Cake Club, is opening a bakery in late spring/early summer. The address is 10330 Whyte Avenue, but the location is actually in an alley due south of the Old Strathcona Market. How fun is that? Sugared & Spiced had a successful Kickstarter year which helped finance their dream. Good stuff!
