The Sweet Shop owner Erika Radivojevich transformed half of the Highland Village candy store into a bakery to sell cookies, cakes and pastries. 

How it started: Radivojevich began selling baked goods from home in 2020.

“I opened the bakery from home because I wanted to do something for me,” she said. “I wanted to be at home for [my kids], but I wanted to do something for me too.” 

She taught herself how to bake desserts, and then her customers pushed her into baking custom-made cakes.

What they serve: Radivojevich also added her own candies to the shop, including Swedish candy and in-house freeze-dried candies, she said. In addition to a wide array of candies, The Sweet Shop offers custom cakes, fruit tarts, cinnamon rolls, brownies and pies. Radivojevich’s signature products are mega cookies.

“I wanted to offer something different than the regular flat cookie with everything on top,” she said.
