OUTDOOR MARKET SEASON HAS BEGUN!!

Sunshine & Open Air: Stepping into Outdoor Market Season!!

There is a distinct magic that happens right at the intersection of late May and early June. The New England weather finally warms up, the days stretch out beautifully, and the absolute best part of the season begins: outdoor markets are officially back!!

Here at Dee’s Little Sweets, this is our favorite time of year. There is nothing quite like packing up the booth, setting up under the open sky, and welcoming the community in the fresh air. For us, the shift to outdoor markets means bright sunshine, smiling faces, and seasonal flavors that taste exactly like early summer.

If you are planning your upcoming weeks, here is a look at what we are baking, where you can catch us outdoors, and how we are celebrating the launch of the open-air season!!

Sweetening the Stroll: Free Samples at the Booth!!

We know that finding truly spectacular gluten-free and vegan desserts can sometimes feel like a guessing game. We want you to see, smell, and taste exactly why we love what we do—completely risk-free.

To welcome the start of the outdoor market season, we are giving away FREE samples of our featured Strawberry / Chocolate cupcake at our booth!! This isn't just any ordinary treat. We're bridging the "texture gap" with an incredibly moist strawberry cake made from scratch using a fresh strawberry puree. Then, we finish it off with a beautiful, rich dual-swirl of both chocolate and strawberry buttercream. Come grab a bite while you stroll the market and taste the difference for yourself!!

Pack a Box: Grab a 4-Pack Mini Sampler

We’ve heard you loud and clear: when you visit our booth in the fresh air, it’s tough to pick just one flavor. To keep your market trips sweet and simple, our Mini Cupcake Samplers are fully stocked and ready to go!! These convenient, shareable 4-packs feature mini versions of all our weekly cupcake flavors. It’s the ultimate way to try everything on the menu or take a little variety pack home after a day of shopping.

Here is the lineup you'll find inside our samplers as we head into June:

• 🟢 GF Vegan Pistachio (Nutty, elegant, and perfectly sweet)

• ⚪ GF Vegan Vanilla (A timeless, classic bakery favorite)

• 🍓🟤 GF Vegan Strawberry / Chocolate (Made with our signature fresh fruit puree)

• 🟤 GF Vegan Classic Chocolate (Rich, moist, and deeply satisfying)

Alongside our cupcakes and mini samplers, our market tables will be fully stocked with our standard, staple Cake Pucks and assorted Cake Truffles in plenty of melt-in-your-mouth flavors!!
