OUR STORY
A Gardena Love Story
35 years, four ovens, and one very full guest book — this is the story of Sweeties.
EST. 1989
A bakery that grew up with the neighborhood.
Tucked along Normandie Avenue, Sweeties has been Gardena's hidden gem for more than three decades. Same family. Same recipes. Same warm welcome the moment you walk in.
We've watched first birthdays become sweet sixteens, and sweet sixteens become weddings — frosting our way through every celebration in between. Our mango cake has launched a thousand "where did you get this?" conversations. Our red velvet has stopped arguments mid-bite.
We bake the way bakeries used to bake — small batches, real butter, time and care. Cash only, no tricks, no trends. Just cakes that taste like they're supposed to.
"Sweeties has been around forever! Same owners, same great quality."
— CARLOS P., GARDENA
A NEW CHAPTER
Introducing Sweet Novelette.
After 35 years of perfecting the classics, we opened a second home for the truly bespoke: Sweet Novelette, our premium confections studio in Los Angeles. By appointment only, designed for the moments that deserve a one-of-a-kind cake — weddings, anniversaries, the once-in-a-lifetimes.
Same family. Same standards. New canvas.
