TEAM SWEET
We have an amazingly hard-working wee team of cake-lovers here at Sweet, who between them are crucial to making your Sweet experience delicious and happy every time, including:
- Our Retail Team are on the front line every day, helping you over the counter at our two cake shops (Karori Rd & Cuba St), serving treats and whipping up delicious Coffee Supreme and shakes. Make sure you say "hi" next time you pop in for your Sweet fix!
- Our Kitchen Team are the Sweet secret-squirrels, who arrive in Karori at the crack of dawn each day to ready to mix, scoop, bake, pipe and ice all your treats ready for the day ahead, and of course spend hours working on our gorgeous "made to order" cakes for birthdays, weddings and other celebrations. Think of them next time you tuck into a slice of birthday cake!
THE SWEET PHILOSOPHYOur goal at Sweet is pretty simple – to make Wellingtonian's lives a little sweeter.
We make delicious and fun Cakes, Cupcakes and Sweet Treats, all baked and decorated by hand. We have a fresh approach to decorating, specialising in delicious and fun designs, letting the quality ingredients we use speak for themselves. We know sponge doesn't like to fly, so we use only the best natural, NZ ingredients in our products where available – Sweet loves Whittakers chocolate, Mainland butter and Chelsea sugar, to name a few. |
We also love people, and talking to people about cake! We take pride in delivering a completely personal ordering experience for you, every time you order, and giving loving time and attention to every customer.
SWEET'S STORY
Grace Kreft started Sweet in 2013, with a passion for beautiful baking and cakes and, of course, all things sweet.
After months of creating many beautiful cakes and cupcakes for celebrations all over Wellington, in April 2015, Sweet Bakery & Cakery opened the doors to a beautiful cake and coffee shop in Marsden Village, Karori. Then, with customers crying out for a place to find Sweet cakes in town, Sweet opened up a second cake shop on Cuba Street in October 2016.
Grace and her husband Brad ran Sweet Bakery together for 5 years, growing the small cake business to a thriving cake community with two retail shops and many online cake and cupcake orders.
In mid-2018, Grace and Brad passed Sweet on to a new owner, a chef called Tuan (a big fan of the Sweet Bakery business!).
