Sugar Sketch, a bakery (cakery per the sign), is coming soon to the empty storefront at 172 E. Second St. between Avenue A and Avenue B...
Here's more about the proprietor from the Sugar Sketch website:
Martina Nardo has been a Pastry Chef and Cake Designer for the past six years in New York City. Born and raised in Rome, Italy, her passion for both food and art stems from her heritage. Her grandmother taught her to appreciate the simplicity of Italian cuisine, its flavors, and the cultural value associated with it. Her mother – a graphic designer and illustrator – has played a major influence encouraging her to apply creativity towards her cakes making them true works of art.
Upon receiving her BA in Psychology from the New School, she began her studies of the Culinary Arts at the Institute of Culinary Education and finished her studies with a degree in Cake Designs and Techniques at The French Culinary Institute in NYC. After working in several kitchen settings throughout Manhattan, Martina launched Sugar Sketch in 2013.
She has been making cakes, cupcakes and cookies by order... this will be the first retail space.
H/T EVG reader Ronnie!
I think of cake as a grown ups dessert, you know after a meal with coffee. There are few adults in the EV these days so I hope she is prepared to make lots of cupcakes for the tourists and kidults.

ReplyDeleteI must live in a different east village than anonymous at 8:11. all I see are adults with their kiddos strollers who will definitely overspend on Junior's birthday cake
ReplyDeleteNeeds a liquor license! The cupcakes won't as colorful without them.
ReplyDeleteI'm a diabetic--sorry pushing sugar on young kids is setting the stage for later problems. The effort should be to curtail the intake of sugar.
ReplyDeleteAnother bakery? Really?

Of course it should; but how many successful vegetable bars have you seen lately? (BTW, too much animal protein is actually a bigger risk factor in developing diabetes than too much sugar. Most people ignore that.)
