When cravings call, satisfy your sweet tooth with Wild Sugar.

Onward and upward | June 4, 2025

It's amazing how time flies. The official start to summer is only a whisper away and I find myself restless for the chilled desserts of July and August. I recently enjoyed a champagne zabaglione over strawberries with friends and I'm pondering a renewed dive into cheesecake. Ages ago, in what feels like another lifetime, I had a small cheesecake business. Rosewater, lavender, and marionberry, were a few of my original recipes and the heady scent of spring blooms in the air is carrying my mind to new possibilities. I'm always ready to explore new flavors and this season I think I'll give dragon fruit, lychee, and honeysuckle a shot. They sound like great flavors to #rewildcuisine with this summer. Check out the progress on Instagram, cheers!

Wild like wildflowers | May 24, 2025

If you follow us on social media you may have seen our recent post about #rewildingcuisine. Before yesterday the hashtag didn't exist, and that's exciting. When we started Wild Sugar this was our long term goal and intention; not to bring wild and crazy, but baking born from the wilds of nature. We aren't all about colors or other additives that are harmful to your health just to make baking look good. We are about reaching back for our roots and inspiration from nature to bring a few of the old ways back to current practices. We bake from scratch, like our great grandparents used to decades ago. We take our time, try to use seasonal items, and cherish things as unprocessed as possible. It isn't always possible, because culture has changed to be driven by convenience, ease, and cost; but where it is possible, we do it. Just like a lot of folks are rewilding their lawns with natural clover and drought resistant plants to replace what was ripped out before we realized the damage those changes have on our ecosystem, we try to bake and cook keeping sustainability in mind. We avoid plastic wherever possible, use organic foods, and are mindful of reducing waste. Over the next few weeks I'll be showing off some of the things that make us who we are even if they're not baking. Because I believe we should support practices that will keep our planet, and each other, happy and healthy, in whole, as long as possible.

Inspiration has hit | February 22, 2025

For most people food is enjoyment, but for a chef or baker food is a journey, even an adventure. When boredom strikes I stroll through the kitchen. Sometimes I use magazines, Instagram, or my favorite shows to spur my imagination. Once I've tried a recipe it never fails that I want to make it different, make it better, or create a new variety. My most recent adventure has been cinnamon rolls. They were a family favorite when my grandmother made them, but she never made them with chocolate and marshmallow. Cross your fingers, here goes nothing...

2025 Here we come! | January 25, 2025

January always feels like the dark of winter; that last haul before blossoms and blooms brighten the spring. We use this month to plan and prepare and on Valentine's Day kickoff a whole new season. Raspberry, caramel, and lemon truffles are on the list for testing and launch this year, along with so much more! Stay tuned, it's shaping up to be a sweet year.

Cruising into the New Year | December 28, 2024

The season has been busy and brilliant, and we're glad it's wrapping up. Our stockings are hung by the fire with care, full of all the family favorites. Gift boxes have been delivered, and we've heard, already devoured! The next few weeks will offer some much needed rest before we roar into 2025 full steam ahead. Stay tuned for exciting changes coming up next year. Cheers!

New adventures in fall | November 8, 2024

This weekend kicks off our busy season and what better way to do it than with Fantasies in Chocolate? Tomorrow marks our first participation in the event, and having seen the venue today we couldn't possibly be more excited! Being experts in high end chocolate and candy, there isn't a better place to display our products. Since it's a limited attendance event, if we don't see you there then we hope to see you on our social media. Cheers!

Kicking off our favorite season | November 1, 2024

Here we are at the beginning of yet another holiday season, one that is sure to be as amazing as the last. While we wait for the heat to dissipate we are already in the kitchen with the AC cranking. We had a great show with University Family Fellowship Church the last weekend in September and Oktoberfest was a blast! Halloween will be here before we know it and we're full steam ahead toward Thanksgiving week with The Riverside Farmers Market Holiday Bazaar and GSR Winter Arts & Gifts show sandwiching the holiday. Come see us if you can!
