Sweets Dream Coming to Stephen Street

Kathleen Gibson’s love of baked goods traces back to time spent with her grandmother, and the Lemont newcomer hopes that family feel can shine through in her business.

Sinfully Delicious Cupcakes and Treats will open at 209 Stephen Street.

“I chose Lemont because I love the town,” Gibson said, of her decision to open in Lemont. “The community is so wonderful and so welcoming!”

Gibson’s bakery will offer cupcakes, cookies, brownies, donuts, coffee cakes, ice cream, novelty candy, baking supplies. (Are you hungry yet?)

“My grandmother taught me to bake and gave me her love of baking,” Gibson said. “Every time I am in the kitchen, she is with me.

Gibson’s business experience includes 19 years in city government, direct sales for 5 years, and vendor shows. Her baked goods have been sold by private order for more than five years. This will be her first established bakery.

“I have always dreamed of owning my own bakery and ice cream parlor. To have that old-fashioned feeling the minute you enter the door. It is a dream coming true.”

She is currently at work transforming the space to fit her needs. A tentative opening is set for the first week of November, though the exact date is not yet clear. She will offer decorating classes and private birthday parties, as well as other features.

As her dream comes to fruition, she can’t wait to meet more Lemont residents and share her passion with them.

“My son and I recently moved to Lemont and are loving every day here!” Gibson said.
