Like most survivors, SusieCakes Founder Susan Sarich focuses on finding joy in everyday life. Spreading joy is literally her business, which is why she partnered with Susan G. Komen to put a sweet, pink spin on Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Texas-based Sarich survived two bouts of breast cancer between 2020 and 2023. Today, after multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, she is cancer-free and using the SusieCakes x Komen line to raise awareness for early detection and prevention with one goal: A World Without Breast Cancer.
Through October 31, SusieCakes bakeries will donate $1 to Komen for every cupcake sold from the SusieCakes x Komen collection. These vanilla and chocolate desserts feature pink buttercream frosting and decorative ribbon stencils and can be ordered in the bakery or online. In addition, SusieCakes is shipping a SusieCakes x Komen cake nationwide and donating $5 from every cake sold to Komen. Each cake can display an inspirational message, perfect for celebrating a survivor, honoring a loved one, or supporting the cause.
“Each purchase is a chance to give back while savoring the desserts you love,” Sarich says. “Grab a cupcake, share it with a friend, and make Breast Cancer Awareness Month a little sweeter, one bite at a time.”
SusieCakes has two Austin locations: 3267 Bee Caves Road and 1111 West 6th Street. It is a classic all-American bakery offering nostalgic, homemade desserts that take you back to your childhood. Handcrafted daily with the finest ingredients, each treat is inspired by beloved recipes from founder Susan’s grandmothers, Mildred and Madeline.
