When owner Susan Knabb took her made-to-order baked goods business out of her home kitchen and into a commercial one, she decided to add a retail component for selling her gourmet cupcakes and cookies. Designer James Frederick worked with Knabb on mixing the right design elements that were rich and vibrant – just like her treats – but still approachable. “We used basic materials that feel high-end,” says Frederick.

For example, the laminate cashwrap looks sculpted thanks to a mottled, luminescent finish that mimics the icing on the cakes. Vinyl flooring in a neapolitan-striped pattern underlies the bright space, which is accented with handmade ceramic earthenware light pendants and a blue woodgrain shelving unit. And a circular design language – from the logo and pink “candy button” dots on the walls to the pom-pom fringe on the custom window shades – provides a nice contrast to the angular cashwrap and citrus-colored ceiling soffit.
