The Sweet Spot Bakery


I came across The Sweet Spot Bakery while they were just getting ready to open and had been anticipating it for some time. The owner, Amy Hafele, started baking at home and with 5 kids, she was baking a lot! After outgrowing her kitchen, she opened this location in Alliance Town Center in North Fort Worth.

When talking with Amy, I found out that she not only bakes cupcakes, but truly custom cakes and fried pies!

The first thing you'll notice is the extreme number of cupcakes that you can get @ The Sweet Spot! Over 30-40 flavors , 5-6 chosen everyday & all with their own unique names. My husband had the cherry vanilla and I had the "Johnny Cash" which is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream & sprinkles. Amy then mentioned their store specialty has been a creation they call the "Shama Lama Ding Dong"... The "Shama Lama Ding Dong" is her version of the kids treat the "Ding Dong". Slices of chocolate cake are layered with frosting and then the entire thing is covered in chocolate! Wow!

LeSara Cupcake Bar



I had the chance to stop into LeSara Cupcake Bar in Colleyville, Texas a few days ago. First, let me say that their concept of a cupcake bar is very creative! You start by selecting what type of cake you want from their daily selection. These are already prepared and in the first display case. Secondly, you choose what type of frosting you would like and lastly, you can add additional toppings to make your cupcake creation personalized just for your taste! Their website states their goal is to provide the best cupcake experience of your life. Wow!






The owners, Dan & Susan are great people. They told me that the name comes from combining their daughters names: Leslie and Sara. They really believe in great customer service and great cupcakes...and it shows! The location is in a pretty busy strip mall, but when you come in, you feel like you can relax a little and slow down, with a great cupcake of course! There isn't any seating but there is a small table if you can't wait and have to have a cupcake right away. Their attention to flavors and freshness could be tasted instantly.
