The aroma of freshly baked cookies and pies drifted through the air at this year’s SOMI Art Fest as Sweet Lich’s delighted festivalgoers with its handcrafted desserts and community-driven story.
Founded by Erik “The Baker” and his wife Steph “The Boss,” Sweet Lich’s began as a small home-based venture inspired by a shared love for baking and a simple mission: create something special for their community. What started in their own kitchen has since grown into a beloved local favorite, known for its quality ingredients, creative flavors, and warm customer service.
“At Sweet Lich’s, we believe great desserts start with the finest ingredients and a dash of imagination,” said Erik, who oversees recipe development and baking. Steph, who manages operations and customer relations, added that the couple’s success comes from “always listening to our customers and keeping things fun and fresh.”
The bakery’s festival menu featured a wide assortment of handcrafted cookies, classic and specialty pies, and vegan-friendly options that catered to a diverse crowd. Their popular “Flavor of the Month” also made an appearance, giving returning customers something new and exciting to try.
But beyond the sweets, Sweet Lich’s has built a reputation for something deeper — connection. Whether through custom cookie orders, catered events, or a simple box of treats shared among friends, the business has become part of many local celebrations and milestones.
Visitors at the SOMI Art Fest praised not only the flavors but the welcoming spirit behind the brand. “You can taste the love in every bite,” said one attendee. “It feels personal.”
As the festival wrapped up, one thing was clear: Sweet Lich’s is more than just a bakery. It’s a growing community staple that continues to turn simple ingredients into memorable experiences — one cookie at a time. 🍪✨
