Hot off the presses
Here's just a few of the things we've been up to. Visit Steph's blog for even more juicy stories.

Stay tuned, we're going to start making ice cream sandwiches once the weather cooperates.

Our brand new retail shop is FINALLY OPEN! Visit us at 1014 Madison Street(between Boren & Terry), Seattle, WA 98104

We just signed the lease for our new location at 1014 Madison Street. We hope to open the shop in the Fall.

We've temporarily closed to spend some time regrouping after John's cancer treatment. Although it was quite a strain emotionally, we are happy to report he is in full remission, just needs a little time to grow his hair back. I think this will be a good time to regroup and refocus the bakery as well.

We celebrated our third year anniversary by baking tons of apple pie from the bounty of apples that were on our tree this year. We had a party over the weekend to wish my husband well as he starts chemotherapy on Monday the 9th. He'll be down for the count for about 9 weeks, but will be sure to emerge free of testicular cancer just in time for his 32nd birthday.

8/31/2006
We moved our kitchen to another location in West Seattle. We're only baking a few days a week and have temporarily stopped doing the farmer's markets until we get settled.

6/20/2006
We've been selling our goodies at the Farmer's Markets in West Seattle and the University District. We are now on the waiting list for the U. District (they have to make room for farmers!). It's been a lot of fun and we've been getting a lot of requests for us to open up a shop. Actually, we're actively looking for a shop space so tell us where you want it to be!

Our SweetFest event, which occurred on February 14, 2005 and 2006, was enjoyed by all. However, we have since learned of another event - upcoming in the fall of 2006 - also called SweetFest. This upcoming event will benefit the Moyer Foundation, and you can find out more at their website www.sweetfest.com. We have been asked by that event's producers to stop using the term SweetFest, and so in the interests of community, we have stopped using the term. We may repeat our Valentine's Day event under a different name. We apologize for any confusion.

SweetFest 2006 was a great success and we were thrilled with all the happy faces of our guests as they left our second annual event. In honor of the most popular gift for Valentine's day, the desserts were infused with flowers and floral essences. View the menu.

We've teamed up with the Lifelong Aids Alliance to be their partner in pie. We're baking pies for their first annual Slice for Life pie sale this Thanksgiving. Learn more about this great event.

We're famous! We got a very cool write-up in The Stranger, our local super hip weekly newspaper. We are so pleased, not just because it is such a well written article, but also because the author, Sara Dickerman, said some really nice things about us! Read the article here.

4/19/2005
We donated a giant Chocolate Mousse Mountain to an auction to benefit the Seattle Mens and Seattle Women's chorus. We don't know how much it sold for, but we do know the person who won it got a whole lotta chocolate.

4/1/2005
We were invited to make desserts for KEXP for their monthly staff birthday celebrations. They've been great in letting us experiment on them with new recipes.

2/15/2005
Herban Feast's Sweet and Savory Pantry opens. We share kitchen space with Herban Feast Catering and they just opened their fancy schmancy Sweet and Savory Pantry which has great grab and go meals as well as desserts from none other than us!

2/14/2005
We staged our first annual Valentine's day all you can eat dessert event and called it SweetFest. Guests were served 8 different decadent desserts in the beautifully decked out Zeitgeist coffee house. It was our first time doing something like this and we can't wait to do it again next year.

1/21/2005
We've completed our new dessert, the Chocolate Mousse Mountain which is constructed from dark chocolate cake and rich chocolate mousse and enrobed in bittersweet chocolate ganache. So far, they're really fun to make and people are buying them up like crazy.

1/5/2005
We started making Brioche, my dad's favorite type of bread. We roll them up like cinnamon buns and fill them with gooey cinnamon sugar or raspberry jam and raspberries. We also tried a chocolate truffle filling which everybody really liked, but it didn't sell too well so it's out.

12/27/2004
We experimented with different granola recipes and then found a lowfat and low sugar one that's sweetened with banana and date puree. We've added a little more vanilla and some dates, toasted almonds and raisins. We love it, and it's nice having something around the kitchen that's good for you and tastes great.

11/1/2004
We moved into a new kitchen space and don't share with so many people anymore. We've started collecting equipment and now have our first giant Hobart Mixer. We love our new kitchen space.

5/31-11/30 2004
We had a stand at the Farmer's Market at the U. District and in West Seattle. Even though we didn't make too much money, we had a lot of fun meeting the people who love our products, made some new friends, and plus traded anything we didn't sell for the best produce we've ever had.

10/1/2003
We made up 6 boxes of samples and went out into the world (well, mostly West Seattle) and tried to sell them. 5 out of 6 clients placed orders within that first week so Stephanie quit her job and Sugar was born.
