It has been 18 EVENTFUL months since we have opened our doors here in Rogers Park! There are so many things that we could say to express how grateful we are to have met some incredible neighbors; but what we can say is, We hope you are ready for more of us! 

There has been a great many challenges with running and sustaining this tiny but mighty business. Through each hurdle, the residents of Rogers Park, along with family and Friends, have kept us going strong. In the time that we have opened, we have met so many wonderful people. We have watched your littles one grow, and if you have been visiting us since day one- you have seen us grow too. It is with great honor and integrity that we serve each of you daily. Making these moments count with you all have been the plight of my career. Many of us have seen some of our cherished businesses serve their last meals recently. With the wave of Closures, I'm sure it brings many questions. What better platform than our blog to let you all know about the exciting ways we have grown and continue to do so. 

Did COVID-19 impact your Business? 
Yes absolutely! We would be lying if we said it didn't! But what it didn't do, was stunt our growth! we are proud to know that we are doing better than ever thanks to you, 

What is your Stance on BLM? 
We have and always will believe that BLACK LIVES MATTER! You will never find hate here. It is with the help of the community that we were able to donate over $400 to the #BLM movement. We hope to continue efforts this Fall  

What are your plans for the near Future?
LSI recently was granted funds to be able to make much needed repairs to our space and acquire some new equipment to better serve you! Since celebrating our One Year we have added: 
A bar area, waiting area, walk up window, new Cake cases, new coolers, New cabinet area for Food prep and we are now serving ICE CREAM :) 

We hear the owner was involved in an accident? Is everything running as usual? 
Yes there was an unfortunate accident involving the owner and head Chef here, I can assure you I am doing well and on the upswing. Your cakes our important to us, and so is my health. We thank you all so much for your patience & support during this time. The entire team is here to serve you.

We Hello cake Lovers! Welcome to our first ever Blog Post for Life's Sweet Inc. Unless you're currently living on Big Rock Candy Mountain, you are probably reading this from home due to COVID-19. 2020 has been one heck of a year already and we have just begun. At LSI, we are doing everything we can to spread Love and Light during the quarantine. Many of you are working from home and have taken on the role of home school teacher. I wanted to offer some fun activities for free to keep our little cake lovers busy during this time. 

We compiled a few of our fave baking related color pages and would love to share them with you all. simply save and print or access the images using any art app on your touch screen and color away!! Feel free to comment with some of your completed sheets to earn a FREE cake pop at the Bakery. We hope that you all enjoy these activities and we will update some more along the way. 

Warm Wishes and lots of Virtual Hugs
