Trifles, A Modern Day Confectionery was conceived in July of 2000 and was born in April of 2001. Like every good chef/owner/mother, Gwen had been hoping, planning and preparing for her Trifles’ child for a very long time.

Today, you are meeting Trifles as a rambunctious 7 year old. In the early days, Trifles crawled, stood and now impetuously runs. Trifles’ repeat business and word-of-mouth reputation has helped the company to grow and thrive. It takes a village to raise a child and it also takes a village to raise a small business, for which we are very thankful.


For now, it is enough to say that the vast majority of people really
like her cakes and trust her judgment when it comes to chocolate.

Our stores are located in a comparatively provincial setting, on an isthmus, across from a swamp. We never know who will walk in our door, and we like it that way.
