Proverbs 3:6
Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take
Let me tell you about my recent trip to Tiers of Sweetness in Wetumpka, Alabama – it was the sweetest experience! This place is absolutely charming, like something out of a cute small-town movie. I met the owners, sisters Cheryl and Denice, and their story is incredible.
Denice, a former hairstylist, took a cake decorating course and started this amazing bakery. Cheryl, after a 39-year career, joined her sister full-time, supporting Denice's dream. Hearing them talk about how they found their way to this – even discovering their shop is in the same building where their dad used to get his hair cut – was so moving, I got a little teary-eyed myself! Their faith and the support from their husbands and community are clearly the secret ingredient to their success.
The bakery itself is adorable; I could easily imagine a book club or bridal shower there. And the desserts?! Oh my goodness. Gourmet sandwich cookies, cupcakes, and cakes that are works of art. I had to try a few (for research purposes, of course!). Red velvet and cookies and cream are among my favorites, and Tiers of Sweetness totally delivered. My kids even got to join the tasting – a tough job, but someone had to do it! Granny's red velvet cupcakes were a standout – moist, delicious, and surprisingly perfect without pecans (though I usually love them in red velvet). My daughter raved about the strawberry cupcakes, and my son devoured the chocolate chip ones. The sandwich cookies were a huge hit with the kids, especially the Snickerdoodles! Seriously, my son would have eaten the whole box if I'd let him. The salted caramel and chocolate candy explosions were also amazing.
