Susan Sarich began SusieCakes in 2006. Her first store was in Brentwood, CA. Susan had a background in the food service industry and she saw a niche that was here-to-for missing~a bakery that reflected the homebakers' philosophy~freshly made, real ingredients in small batches. The lineup is extensive with whoopie pies, cookies, homemade puddings, cupcakes, cakes, etc. When you walk through the front door the air is perfumed with sugar and butter and batter and magic.
Our Scottish correspondent is on assignment for the next two years in Europe (I know poor baby! but she needs a boost from stateside and here is the first installment~one of her favs~SusieCakes). 
It's lethal going in to just make these selections...watching the waistline..well one wouldn't hurt..right??
The chocolate cake is moist~the cupcake a normal size~the frosting, not overly sweet..still sugary in just the right proportion's. The vanilla cake is denser, not cloud like, very old fashioned. This isn't a slick operation where uber-chic sunglass clad superstars are standing in line, it's real and their products are super great!
Oops! We tested them, yep! they're still great! Always consistent!
Go to Susie's website (susiecakes.com) to check it all out. Some of her stores are in the Bay Area.

I LOOOOOOVED this post! Susie cakes is truly a niche market in which quality far out weights quantity. Thank you for sharing...and again making my mouth water!
