A Los Angeles dessert shop that had been open for more than three decades announced its abrupt closure this week, citing the increasing costs of doing business in California.

Sweet Lady Jane, which is known for its triple berry cake, announced the closure of all its locations on its website on Sunday. The bakery said its last day of business was Dec. 31.

“We did not come to this decision lightly nor quickly,” a message posted to the bakery’s website states. “While the support and loyalty of our customers has been strong, sales are not enough to continue doing business in the state of California, allowing us to service our lease obligations and pay our treasured employees a living wage without passing those costs directly on to you.”

** Sounds like more fall-out from increased minimum wages, though this company isn’t making that clear. -Karen
