My wife has a bakery called Sweet Buttercream Bakery. There is a new bakery that opened up 2 months ago called Sweet Butter Bakery. Both are registered with the state and the new bakery will not change their name. Does this fall under infringement?

Maybe.  The answer depends on a lot of additional facts such as timing, geographic location, services offered, and even terms of the business (e.g. goods offered - butter v. buttercream).  I recommend sitting down with an attorney for a full consultation for a more definitive answer.   Best of luck.
