Sweethen's Bakeshop is a food shop in Ta'Vaalor. It is located on Emaereld Var, just west of the General Exchange, in a plain white building with a bright red door.

[Sweethen's Bakeshop]
The warm, sweet aroma of baking bread and delicate pastries wafts through the quaint bakeshop, inviting browsers to partake in the enticing goods sold here. Shimmering sunlight filters through a pair of wood-framed windows, and a pair of decorative brass sconces hold glowing candles that help to illuminate a counter crafted from highly polished birch. An open archway behind the counter leads to a partially obscured backroom, from which a mixture of sugary smells emanates. You also see the baker Sweethen and a sign.

Grand Repopening, 2023

The baker Sweethen

Slightly askew, a cupcake-shaped fascinator adorns Sweethen's blush pink hair as it falls in loose curls to her shoulders and frames her dewy face.  Winged black pigment lines her long-lashed eyes, intensifying the pale blue hues.  She wears a flour-dusted apron tied around the waist of her full figure over a tulle-skirted dress of nacre velvet.  A pair of fingerless mesh gloves exposes her polychromatic-painted nails, the myriad of colors echoed by her knee-laced leather boots lofted on pearly heels.

She looks as if business has been prosperous for her.
