Sweet Treets Bakery

This is what buttercream dreams are made of. Sweet Treets’ custom confections can sometimes be so lifelike, it’s nearly impossible to make the first cut. 95 percent of the cakes coming out of this kitchen are covered in buttercream as opposed to fondant — a skill this bakery has refined to an art.
