GENEVA – What do beer and pretzels, Mexican hot chocolate, banana splits and pancakes have in common?

They’re all cupcake flavors at The Sugar Path – a sweet shop that recently opened in downtown Geneva.

Sisters Michelle Adams and Nina Cater – an attorney and former mental health counselor, respectively – started their baking business in November 2011, specializing in cupcakes, artisan cakes and pies with a focus on buying the freshest, local ingredients they can find. They started off selling baked goods at various farmers markets and became so successful that they decided to open a storefront.
