It's back to Concord this week. After trying DOUGH Bakery last week, I went closer to the downtown area and found The Sweet Life.
I had to double check the address. My GPS said I was at 196 Church Street, but it the building didn't look like a bakery from the outside.
After getting out of the car I realized there were two large banners with a cupcake and the words, "The Sweet Life," on it. However, when driving by, trying to pay attention to traffic (minor details, you know...), the sign didn't jump out at me.
The Sweet Life is located inside an old house-turned-business. Apparently there's an invitation/graphic design business inside as well. I'm not sure if it's run by the same people as the cupcake shop or not. When I went inside, the only thing I spotted was the bakery.
The first thing I noticed was the interesting choice of flavors. They had banana pudding, vanilla chai, peanut butter and jelly, and caramel apple.
Each cupcake looked fairly large with a pile of frosting on top. A good first impression, indeed.
I passed on the banana pudding cupcake, but got the vanilla chai, caramel apple and peanut butter and jelly.
