Sugar Artists Emporium Cafe

For those of you who are regular customers this probably won't be a surprise. But, for those of you who have not been in for a few weeks we have some exciting news!

Work has begun on our new Sugar Artists Emporium Cafe. We hope to be up and running by mid April with a selection of delicious desserts, sandwiches, soups and a few other surprises. We'll be serving coffee, espresso and offering free WIFI as well.

We'd like to welcome MaryAnn McLean who will be coming in to run the new cafe. Many of you are familiar with MaryAnn (MaryAnn's Cakes) who teaches some of our classes. MaryAnn is an awesome cake decorator and will be a welcome addition to the business.

Stay tuned for more information on our grand opening!

March Classes

March is a busy holiday month. We've tried to fit in a little bit of everything, but keep checking back...we may have a couple of surprise classes this month! The picture of the bunny cake for the last class of the month was sent to me on Facebook. I'm not sure who actually made this cake and would like to give them credit if anyone has that information. Just send me a message on Facebook or email me at michele@sugarartistsemporium.com

February Classes

I should have had this schedule up a couple of weeks ago, but things have been hectic. The holiday rush begins again. During a six week time span beginning Feb. 12th, we'll celebrate Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. We've tried to include a variety of classes that have some new techniques you haven't yet used as well as some easy peasy classes just for fun! I hope you'll find a few classes that interest you and join us for the fun. And, I do mean fun...we have an awesome group of students who attend our classes and you'll have a great time with them. If you have questions just give the store a call (570)235-1375.

We also have a couple of exciting new projects we're working on, so keep an eye out for them!
