Whisking through each stop with a bite from the participating vendors, those can package their goodies for later indulgence in their bakery box.<\/p>\n<p>And as icing on the cake, the Service Electric Community Room at the Easton Public Market will host various activities, including baking-related demos, and even a cupcake decorating station.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I envisioned the Sweet Stroll event to highlight Easton as an extraordinary dessert and baked pastries destination. Nowhere else in the Lehigh Valley can you amble through a 2-block area, savoring in the sugary delights of handmade macarons, custom chocolates, decadent cake tacos, and authentic French croissants, and then conclude the experience with Australian-style meat hand pies,&#8221; shares Kathryn Gaffney of The Modern Crumb and event co-organizer.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of heavy snow, a snow day alternative will be scheduled. Prepare to turn this winter day into a #DessertDestination on social media while celebrating the sweet side of life, and of Easton!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-127213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sweet1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About EMSI and GEDP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Easton Main Street Initiative is a program of Greater Easton Development Partnership, a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
