Del Ray's Sweet Relief Celebrates Rebranding With Ribbon Cutting

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Sweet Relief, formerly Smallcakes NOVA Cupcakery And Creamery, will celebrate its rebranding with a ribbon cutting in Del Ray Saturday.

Located at 1506 Mount Vernon Avenue in the Del Ray neighborhood, Sweet Relief had opened in October 2019 as Smallcakes. Owner Breanna Perez explained in a video message to customers the transition provides healthier options and opportunities to partner with other small businesses. Normatec compression recovery sessions are available to customers, and the shop has retail space dedicated to small businesses' projects.

But fear not— cupcakes are still on the menu along with lattes and smoothies. Vegan and gluten-free cupcakes are on the menu daily, but flavors will vary.

Saturday's event, called "A Day of Relief," will feature workout classes, vendors, giveaways and a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. Customers may sign up via Eventbrite for a VIP PureBarre class, VIP HIIT Hard training class, or Normatec air compression session. The registration also comes with a chair massage, Normatec air compression demo, light bites and refreshments, a discount for on-site vendors, raffle giveaway, and goodie bag. The event will fundraise for Becky's Fund, which seeks to end domestic violence through advocacy, education and service.
