Someone passing by said she'd come by every day for a few days and they hadn't been open. Upon peering in the windows, my sister and her friends noticed their chalkboard, which had "Thanks for 5 great years" written on it. I found a thread from last year at about this time when someone thought they were closed, but they were just on vacation... but that chalkboard sign seems a little suspect if they are just on vacation. Can anyone in the neighborhood confirm or disconfirm? I was really hankering for one of their pistachio cupcakes.

I've found a lot of random places closing up shop with no notice about holiday hours. Sun Jan 04 16:05:27 -0800 2009 4295470 145096 sugartoof 2 4297475 I really hope that's it. I LOVE SS. Best cupcake in the city IMO. Pistachio with vanilla cream is the best. Mon Jan 05 10:02:58 -0800 2009 4295619 74397 malibu 1 4297632 When places go out of business, their phone is disconnected. I just called. Their phone has not been disconnected, but nobody picked up. The recorded message says only that they are closed and that hours can be found on the website. They are normally open on Monday. One would think if they were on vacation, the recorded message would say so. Right now, it's a mystery as to where things stand, but it would be crushing if they have closed for good. Mon Jan 05 10:40:10 -0800 2009 4295470 13867 RGR 2 4298067 Thanks for the detective work. I didn't even think to call. Hmmm.... Mon Jan 05 12:35:03 -0800 2009 4297632 28696 i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream 1 4307413 We can all relax. They're back! :-) As suspected, they were on vacation. http://www.sugarsweetsunshine.com Thu Jan 08 09:28:25 -0800 2009 4295470 13867 RGR 2 4307632 GREAT NEWS ! ! Everyone there truly deserved a vacation. I ordered 4 dozen cupcakes from them as a client gift this Christmas. YUMMY! Huge hit! Thu Jan 08 10:24:54 -0800 2009 4307413 11852 Lettucepray 2 4307684 Thank GOD!!! Thu Jan 08 10:38:38 -0800 2009 4307413 241434 uwsister 1 4308088 This thread is making me think I need to try this place. Never been, but it's sounding like I need to. Maybe this Sunday if the weather isn't too bad. Thu Jan 08 12:02:53 -0800 2009 4295470 124339 bnemes3343 2 4308139 I don't think any of the cupcake flood are need to kind of places at this point, but it's one of the better ones in the city. Don't get too hyped up and expect anything more then just a fine simple cupcake with some original flavors though. Thu Jan 08 12:14:10 -0800 2009 4308088 145096 sugartoof 3 4308192 I'll settle for a really good cupcake with a great cup of coffee (hopefully). I enjoy trying places like this that people rave about. Kee's chocolates, the Donut Plant, etc. Thu Jan 08 12:24:48 -0800 2009 4308139 124339 bnemes3343 4 4308312 the pumpkin trifle and the piggy pie are excellent as well. the former, especially, is not to be missed if it's available when you're there. Thu Jan 08 12:51:15 -0800 2009 4308192 11199 wleatherette 4 4308325 ... and my fave cupcake is the pistachio with vanilla frosting. OMG. It's GOOD. Trust. Thu Jan 08 12:53:47 -0800 2009 4308192 74397 malibu 1 4313657 Thanks RGR! I'm so happy it's not closed! Sat Jan 10 09:04:04 -0800 2009 4295470 28696 i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream 2 4313661 awesome...i walk by it all the time since its close to my new place and i thought it was done Sat Jan 10 09:05:36 -0800 2009 4313657 12298 Lau 1 4313717 Thank goodness its still open -this is one of my must try cupcake places when I come to NY in March! I can't wait to try their cakes! Sat Jan 10 09:31:19 -0800 2009 4295470 190012 iheartcupcakes 1 4316620 its def open...i got a cupcake today Sun Jan 11 13:56:48 -0800 2009 4295470 12298 Lau 1 4422117 We finally made it in to the city today for our first visit to SSS. Wow. We had a Ooey Gooey (?) and a Pistachio. These were the best cupcakes I have ever had. Moist, flavorful with outstanding frosting. We got three more to go for the kids who are coming over tonight. The place was jam packed. The owner (one of them that we spoke with) was really nice. You folks who live near there are very lucky. (not to mention the market around the corner that I would die for to have one like that in Hoboken. Our option within walking distance for fish is the A&P. A huge variety of vegetables, meats, fish, etc., and at way less than I pay here. Maybe I should move... Mon Feb 16 12:14:13 -0800 2009 4295470 124339 bnemes3343 2 4424402 Made it there too this past Saturday, the 14th. Long train ride to the LES but it was worth it. BEST CUPCAKE I"VE EVER EATEN.
