In the heart of Columbia, a delightful new addition is about to make its grand debut!

Many in the community have fond memories of this popular cupcake shop, and now, they will soon have a fresh new bakery to anticipate. The owners, Iris Perea and Sharisa Boyle, have a solid background in the bakery scene, having previously run the Cake Collection Boutique in Irmo. With a rebranding to Dulce, they are ready to infuse new energy into this beloved location.

But that’s not all! The future is looking bright for Dulce as they plan to expand their menu to include soups and sandwiches during lunch hours. And for those who love to indulge in desserts after dark, they’ve got plans for a dessert bar in the evenings. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
