Sweet Cakes Bakery is located in Peace Dale, RI, a village in South Kingstown. Officially, Peace Dale is located in Washington County, but the locals often refer to the southern part of Rhode Island as "South County."

South County is known for its beautiful beaches (this is the reason RI is known as the "Ocean State"), proximity to cultural activities and historic landmarks and quaint towns, villages and outdoor activities. Many people choose our corner of Rhode Island as a favorite vacation spot, and also enjoy the nearby towns of Narragansett, Westerly, Newport and Wakefield, among others.

Peace Dale is only a 15 minute drive to many of the state's finest beaches, and is also within a few minutes of the University of Rhode Island, an Amtrak Northeast Corridor Train Station, and is only about a half hour drive to Providence, RI and many cultural attractions.

Below are many links that will help you to get a good sense of the area, including the local school system, chambers of commerce and more. We encourage you to do your own online research as well, to learn about this wonderful little community in the smallest (but biggest hearted) state in the union.
