Sweetie Pie Cupcakes

The cupcakes are pretty but unfortunately the cake part o the cupcakes are universally tasteless. The icing is way too rich and over the top in terms of quantity.
Having said that, the staff are lovely and attentive, and the accessories are brilliant. Such good taste in nic nacs, unfortunately the owners seemingly don’t taste test their wares.

Sweetie Pie Cupcakes provide us all with deliciously tasty and as equally deliciously looking cupcakes for parties, events, or just the casual snack if you are in the St Heliers area. The shop is presented as beautifully as the cupcakes themselves — stocked with delightfully pretty gifts, kitchenwares and knick knacks that all have a cute kitschy vibe (and i mean kitschy in the best way possible). The cupcakes themselves are not cheap, going for $ 4.50 each, but if you buy them in bulk for a party or event then you can get quite the discount and I have to say they look a whole lot nicer than your average plate full of fairy bread or cheerio sausages on the table.

I saw some sensational looking cupcakes on instagram and had to find out where to get them. Sweetie Pie Boutique was where they were from. Hidden in the corner between Maskell Street and Riddel Road, I only just saw it because I was making a mental note to look out for it.
Inside is a girly girls heaven! Stunning! I LOVE IT! A big pink chandelier, cupcake teapots, gorgeous looking lanterns, they even have cupcake accessories to (try) make your own replica’s at home.
They had eight flavours available when I was there, but keep an eye out on their Facebook page as they’re ever changing. They also have a gluten free option.
At $ 4.50 each or $ 25.50 for a half dozen, they are a wonderful idea for a gift or birthday cake. There are also mini cupcakes available (decorated stunningly) in a set for $ 12.
Sweetie Pie also caters and does wonderful looking cakes! For any enquires contact Tanya on 212 957 926.
