(1888PressRelease) April 16, 2013 - Hudson, Mass. - Just in time for spring, Harvard Sweet Boutique, a gourmet dessert boutique known for handmade, decadent cookies, brownies and toffee, is expanding its Hudson store offerings to include custom cakes and other warm-weather savories. The popular bakery will host a tasting event where guests will enjoy a complimentary sampling of the boutique's new cold fruit-based soups, yogurt parfaits, fruit pies, tarts and cakes.

The tasting will be held at the storefront, located at 25 South St., on April 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those in attendance can also enter to win a 9-inch custom cake valued at $45 and take advantage of a 10 percent storewide discount.

The expanded store menu is part of founder Sue George's commitment to bring the Hudson community fresh, tasty, one-of-a-kind treats using the finest all-natural, high-quality ingredients that are sourced locally whenever possible. Since the store's opening in November 2012, it has quickly become the local one-stop shop for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, as well as for special occasion cakes, dessert platters, and custom-built gifts. The bakery also offers low-carbohydrate and gluten-free treats for people with specific dietary needs.

"We're so excited to bring local residents new soups and savory offerings for any meal as well as continuing to explore new, innovative sweet treats they can enjoy fresh out of the oven at Harvard Sweet Boutique's Hudson storefront," said George. "We're constantly testing new recipes and love offering our customers creative options while continuing to provide long-time favorites and special dietary selections both in-store and on our national ecommerce site."

George founded Harvard Sweet Boutique in 2007 as an online retailer accepting orders through its catalog and website, which quickly became a nationwide success. Whether shopping for friends and family, wedding centerpieces, or business and corporate gifts, the delicious treat assortments are packaged in unique and whimsical gift boxes with adorning ribbon and delivered nationwide with $5 flat-rate shipping.

Harvard Sweet Boutique opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Hudson last year, offering local residents the same selection of gourmet sweets available on the website, as well as various in-store-only offerings. This includes coffee, Nashoba Brook Bakery bread, granola, muffins, pop tarts, scones, whoopee pies and cake balls, among others, that will continue to be offered in the storefront along with the new menu additions.

George is especially excited for the new customizable cakes. Hudson-area residents can now order specialty cakes for baby and bridal showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays and more. Options include the classic signature cakes such as carrot, chocolate or lemon raspberry, or fully customized options where shoppers can select the cake flavor, fillings and frosting of their choice. All cakes can be decorated to preference, and treats can be updated even further by having a personal photo adhered to cakes, cookies or cupcakes with edible paper and ink.

Harvard Sweet Boutique's tasting event on April 25 is free and open to the public. The free tasting and 10 percent discount will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
