For over 25 years, Karin Hlywiak has dedicated herself to the art of creating extraordinary experiences, leaving an indelible mark on the events industry. With her company, Sinfully Sweet, Karin has established herself as a trailblazer, redefining what it means to bring joy and wonder to Sweet 16’s, Weddings, Corporate events, and every other special occasion. Her unparalleled dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and passion for delighting her clients have earned her a reputation as a true rockstar in the world of candy and dessert stations.
Karin’s story is one of self-taught brilliance and relentless drive. Starting her career as a wedding planner, she quickly rose to become part of the top 1% in her field, even earning a spot in a prestigious Wedding Hall of Fame. This foundation in event planning laid the groundwork for her current venture, where her creativity and design expertise shine.
Her journey took a pivotal turn when she and her husband, John, combined their talents to expand their services. Karin, always brimming with ideas, turned John’s love for baking into a business with the launch of JJ’S Rockin Cupcakes. Together, they wowed clients with their innovative, interactive dessert stations—including “build-your-own cupcake bars,” even becoming fixtures at New York Fashion Week. However, recognizing the evolving needs of her clientele, Karin focused her energy on what would become her signature offering: meticulously crafted candy and dessert stations.

Karin’s commitment to excellence is evident in every detail. Her candy and dessert stations aren’t just tables; they’re works of art. Using premium ingredients like Belgian chocolate and importing exquisite glassware from Europe, she ensures that her displays deliver the coveted “wow factor.” Whether it’s a corporate launch or a Sweet 16, each setup is customized to reflect the client’s vision, blending artistry with exceptional flavor.
Unlike competitors who offer drop-and-go services, Karin is present at every event from setup to breakdown. She maintains the stations, engages with guests, and ensures everything runs smoothly, allowing her clients to relax and fully enjoy their special moments. Her approach is rooted in trust, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to quality. “You’re only as good as your last event,” Karin often says, a mantra that drives her to exceed expectations every time.
Karin’s story is a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and resilience. Despite the challenges posed by market changes and the pandemic, she has remained steadfast in her dedication to her craft. Her clients describe her as approachable, detail-oriented, and incredibly reliable—a vendor who not only delivers but goes above and beyond.
