Sweet Elizabeth's opens in Manayunk

Sweet Elizabeth's (4409 Main St.) has rolled out the red-velvet carpet for the Ridge-and-Lincoln set. Owners are husband and wife Liz and Owen Paradiso (right), Manayunk residents for the past five years. Liz handles the baking, a grad of the CIA and Johnson & Wales who’s committed to sourcing her confections' milk, eggs and fruit from local farmers and baking without shelf-life-prolonging chemical stabilizers. Bespoke wedding cakes are Paradiso's big biz, but the bakeshops serves all manner of mousse, cookie and cupcake, the lattermost in flavors like "Senor Chipotle" (chocolate chipotle cake, Mexican spiced ganache, candied chilies) and "Circus" (roasted banana cake, salted caramel filling, hazelnut buttercream, kettlecorn topping). Check out Sweet Elizabeth’s for Father’s Day this weekend; Paradiso is baking beer and bacon cupcakes. Who’s got a babydoll I can borrow?
