The Hello Sweets theme is a 3rd party Genesis Framework Theme created for the food industry. What stands out the most, in my opinion, is the shop section. Hello Sweets is a business in a box theme if you wish to run a shop in addition to your blog. Use your imagination when customizing this theme and there is even styling for the easy recipe plugin if you wish to use it. The homepage showcases a sticky menu bar and under it, a huge widget to be used for the responsive slider plugin.
Hello Sweets does require a bit of work to customize the whole theme but there is detailed documentation to help you along the way. The demo’s footer widgets look a little crowded with the information in them but this can be fixed by modifying the template. Visit our Genesis Framework Tutorials category to find some tutorials on customizing this theme. Make sure you visit the demo version.
