Sweet Tooth of the Tiger is a unique new baked-goods operation. Brooklyn-based founders and bakers Alicia Blegen and Tracy Candido typically partner with organizations to provide bake sales at events. The duo put together retro-style displays of their cookies, cupcakes, bars, cream puffs, and other fresh-baked treats, and staff the table themselves, providing inexpensive homemade goodies for paying guests at parties. They call their venture a renegade project that "explores a nostalgia for the bake sale through the performance of social engagement over sugary confections." The company also operates a delivery-catering service where they can simply bring orders to events, or, if requested, retain the bake sale aspect. (Planners can opt to foot the bill so guests don't have to pay.)
The two collaborated with the Design Trust for Public Space, setting up a bake sale for a recent outdoor exhibition party at Prospect Park's Grand Army Plaza. They also catered the opening of the new Fred Flare store in Brooklyn. Minimum orders start at $24 (equivalent to one dozen cupcakes, sandwich cookies, or bars), plus a $10 delivery fee for Brooklyn and Manhattan locations and $20 for the other boroughs, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Sweet Tooth of the Tiger can comfortably serve as many as 300 guests; catering does not include plates, flatware, or napkins. Planners can inquire about custom orders.
