Self-taught cake designer to open Sweet Tooth’s Dessert Bar
Does she have what it takes to be Atlanta’s next Cake Boss?
Cake designing doesn’t require any creative ability, according to soon-to-be dessert shop owner Chalandra Strickland.
“I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever,” said Stirckland who plans on opening Sweet Tooth’s Dessert Bar in Castleberry Hill sometime this May.
The 914-square-foot cake shop at 335 Nelson Street will offer gourmet desserts and customized cakes for all occasions, “like the ones you see on T.V. these days,” Strickland told What Now Atlanta.
Sweet Tooth’s will also serve gourmet coffee, espresso and eventually Strickland’s own “smoothie creations.”
The dessert bar will host spoken word and jazz events, offer an Internet bar and Strickland said she’ll even design the more “intricate cakes in front of guests.”
Strickland’s favorite menu item is the Kaleidoscope cupcake: key lime, lemon and red velvet.
“The colors all swirl together,” said Stickland. “It’s really something to die for.”
And for those patrons that have dietary restrictions, Sweet Tooth’s daily menu will offer diabetic, vegan, low calorie and gluten free options.
The dessert bar will be open for business Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6 a.m. until 1 a.m.
“If you want a piece of cheesecake at 1 a.m. on Friday, I’ll be there!”
