A Sweet Summer Tradition
Smallcakes: A Cupcakery
Some summer traditions involve the beach. Others involve ice cream. At Smallcakes: A Cupcakery, you can enjoy both—in dessert form.
Known for its gourmet cupcakes, custom cakes and housemade ice cream, Smallcakes continues to be a favorite destination for locals and visitors looking to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Their display case is filled daily with signature cupcake flavors, rotating seasonal specialties and colorful creations that are almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Beyond cupcakes, guests can enjoy gourmet cookies, brownies, cookie cakes, cupcakes-in-a-jar, gourmet popcorn, gluten-free options and even pup cakes for four-legged family members.
Planning a celebration? Smallcakes also creates custom orders featuring logos, photos and personalized messages, making them perfect for birthdays, weddings, corporate events and special occasions.
Their assortment of mini cupcakes is a great way to sample a variety of flavors—or share with friends if you’re feeling generous.

A Season of Opportunity for Homebuyers
Be On The Coast™ Real Estate Group
As the real estate market continues to evolve, many buyers are asking the same question: Is now a good time to purchase a home?
According to REALTOR® Brian K. LoCicero, homeownership remains one of the most effective ways to build long-term financial stability. While market conditions may fluctuate, owning a home allows buyers to lock in their housing costs through a fixed-rate mortgage rather than facing potential rent increases year after year.
In addition to providing stability, homeownership offers the opportunity to build equity over time while benefiting from potential appreciation.
“Owning a home has historically been one of the strongest ways to build wealth and create financial security,” says LoCicero. “The sooner you begin building equity, the sooner you’re investing in yourself instead of someone else’s property.”
Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, vacation home or investment property, now may be the perfect time to explore your options.
