Sweet Lucy’s, a cupcake destination on South Street since 2011, is closing its doors this month.

“Running a from-scratch bakery is a labor of love, and since becoming a mother two years ago, it has been difficult to balance my time.  The decision to close the business is a simple one:  To allow myself more time to spend with my family,” owner Tracy Silverman said Friday in a message to customers.

The shop will close on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015, Silverman said.

She encouraged patrons to use any outstanding gift cards before that time.  Deep discounts also will be offered on all retail items, including aprons, oven mitts, jams, cake pedestals and cupcake decorating kits, she said.

“It has been our pleasure to serve the Morristown community and to be a part of so many celebrations,” said Silverman, who named the bakery after her yellow Labrador retriever, Lucy.

“We are thankful to have had the opportunity to interact with tremendous people on a daily basis, and we are truly appreciative of our customers, whose business, referrals and support have meant so much to us,” Silverman said.

“Thank you again for believing in us and allowing us to be a part of your special events and everyday lives.  Farewell for now, and I hope our paths cross again soon!”

Her husband, Blake Silverman, will cross paths with Morristown officials on Dec. 9, when his proposed apartment complex for Turtle Road is back before the zoning board.
