We are a boutique cake studio creating edible works of art that are as delicious as they are beautiful.

Sweet Heather Anne is a business born of a passion for food and art.  We work very hard to create edible works of art that are as delicious as they are beautiful.  We use local ingredients whenever possible including Calder butter, Guernsey dairy, local eggs, and fruits from the Farmer's Market.

Since the start of the business two years ago, we have grown to a point of needing a new space.  We wanted something in downtown Ann Arbor, to be close the community of colleagues, vendors, and friends with whom we have grown so close.  Something that would be easy for clients to find, and welcoming when they arrived.

We found that perfect spot.  It is 920 North Main.  Check it out, see that big picture window?  Now picture it with a gorgeous display of cakes...

What 920 N Main doesn't have is a kitchen.  And putting in a kitchen is expensive, especially because our current space is a fully-equipped kitchen.  None of the equipment is ours.  To get 920 North Main up and running we need about $20,000 worth of equipment, and even more in improvements to bring the interior up to code.

Please help us make this happen, and you will enjoy our cakes & window displays for many years to come.  We have met our minimum donation level to fund our project, but we would still love your help!  Every pledge is now guaranteed to help us get up and running on North Main.  To show our thanks, everyone who backs our project will be honored on our website.

**please note: out-of-town backers: we will develop a reward equally fabulous and especially for you for each category: something that ships safely**
