Saturday morning (July 2) I rode my bike to Sweetie Pie (as I do every weekend) to buy scones and lemon bars. This time, however, I was greeted with a sign thanking patrons for their support for the past two years. Sweetie was a victim of its own success. The owner felt she was spending too much time away from her children. She views this as a hiatus and expects to return to baking in some capacity soon. Expect to see another baker take over; if you shop the Collingswood Farmers’ Market, you may know Two Tarts, the woman who will be setting up shop on Haddon Avenue. Let’s hope Tarts lives up to the quality reputation established by Sweetie Pie .
