Our Story

In the beginning.....

A group of sugar art enthusiasts wanted to get together on a regular basis to learn all kinds of cake decorating skills. This also included decorating with and using cookies, chocolate, sugar, fondant, gum paste and more.  Members shared ideas, tools, recipes, hints and tricks along with demos to show how to create some awesome sugar art.  In 2013, hands on projects were added to every club meeting.
