Pastry chef Candace Ewald has created an upscale, cool atmosphere in her open shop. Hanging lights hover just above her equipment, which can be seen easily from behind the display case and counter. Working, there is her two assistants, who smile as the door bell chimes open and customers come in.
Ewald is eager to talk about the business, which has been open for a mere three years. Wiping flour from her forehead, she tells me about her culinary experiences with her grandmother which groomed her for the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where she studied baking and pastry arts. From there, she joined the Sweet Somethings staff upon recommendation from her professors. Ewald has transformed the drab little shop into a specialty bakery. Focusing mostly on wholesale, their biggest customers are Iron Hill Brewery and Big Fish Grill. These big name restaurants favor the raspberry white chocolate mousse and the triple layer cakes.
However, Ewald pulls me into the back and beckons for me to watch as she whips up a thick cream icing, which she smothers over a cupcake oozing with fudge. Handing it to me, she smiles, saying that that was her favorite. Tasting my first of many to come, it was truly a sweet something.
Sweet Somethings has a pastry for everyone, each one more succulent than the last. With innovative, young bakers, their product list is refreshing and enticing. Because everything is homemade, you are guaranteed to always receive a fresh result! I would recommend it most if seeking out a high-class specialty cake or decorative desserts for a party. Don't miss out on this shop!
