My God, she is the human form of one of her cupcakes. Click through to watch the video.
Off-hours, Courtney and her husband, Michael, an investment banker, would entertain. The entrée? Easy. The dessert? Not so much. Courtney couldn’t find a decent cupcake. Couldn’t buy one. Couldn’t make one. The girl was almost becoming sour about this conundrum until she realized she’d struck a bitter truth about Boston: cupcakes were missing in action. So, in the ultimate public relations move, she solved the crisis by opening up her own shop.
Lace-embellished peach, purple, ecru and mocha frostings; chocolate and vanilla cakes; bumble bees and monkey motifs—Courtney cooked up a world of cupcakes, along with the help of head baker Jennifer Warshaw and decorator Karen Venezia. Though it’s only been open to the public for a few days, Sweet has already supplied confections for private parties at Harvard University, Ralph Lauren boutique and proper children’s parties in Beacon Hill. Her shop offers same-day deliveries, custom orders and wedding-favor designs. If you pop in, you’ll see Courtney, dressed in a whimsical confection, big smile on her face, and sweet as can be. Just like her cupcakes.
