Founded by Sarich in 2006 in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood, SusieCakes draws inspiration from her childhood memories of baking with her grandmothers, Mildred and Madeline.

The grand opening celebration was held Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., and guests were offered samples of various baked goods, music, face painting, a balloon artist and other family-friendly activities.

Attendees also had the chance to win a free cake for a year and receive a grab bag gift with every purchase. The first 50 guests in line received a SusieCakes-branded coffee mug.

In addition to the new location, SusieCakes operates another store in Carlsbad at 7610 Via Campanile, Suite 144. The bakery also has locations across Southern and Northern California, as well as in Texas and Tennessee.

The new Carlsbad bakery will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
