I’m Susie, the owner of Susie’s Sweets and Sweet Vail Cafe. I never intended to start a business in the food industry but here I am (killing it, if I do say so myself).

In July 2020 I started watching videos on how to make cakes and cookies for my daughter's upcoming birthday. I quickly fell in love with the process and spent much of my free time watching videos and learning more. I posted a few decorated sugar cookies I made on my Facebook page and my business took off from there!

So, I started a little business called "Susie’s Sweets" in February 2021 and began construction of a commercial kitchen in my home. By March 2021, Susie’s Sweets was a licensed bakery specializing in decorated sugar cookies. I have recently added more delicious treats to my menu like macarons, cake pops, and specialty cakes.

 

In May of 2021 I decided to take a huge leap of faith and start the process of opening a storefront in the Sullivan area: Sweet Vail Cafe. A name of great significance to me, because my family and I spend time in the Vail, Colorado, area every summer, and one of my favorite restaurants there is called "Sweet Basil".

Putting these two favorite things of mine together seemed like a no-brainer, and I quickly had my business name “Sweet Vail Cafe.”

Sweet Vail offers not only my tried and true baked goods, but also a variety of other snacks and light meals, coffee, tea, and a relaxing space to meet with friends or enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up. This is something I firmly believe Sullivan has needed for a very long time, and I’m so excited to bring it to our community!
