The Sugar Sand Box

The Sugar Sand Box With the Sweet IRB Bakery days behind me, let's have some fun recreating Cakes, Cookies and favorite recipes! The Sugar Sand Box - Let's Bake, Cake and Cookie!

After a few years off from the retail/wholesale bakery, Sweet IRB Bakery, I'm returning to my home kitchen to continue to explore my love of Cake Decorating, Sugar Art and Baking. The Sugar Sand Box is my space to experiment with recipes, techniques, share tips/tricks, teach and explore new trends. As we “play” in the sand box, I’ll recreate favorite cakes, cookies and recipes from Sweet IRB Baker

y. Sprinkled in the content will be stories from my childhood and the many memories I have of baking with my Mamaw, Aunt SIS and my Mom. This will be fun! Come along and join with the adventure and as the tag line states. Let’s Bake, Cake and Cookie! Melissa Dotson, Sugar Artist and Baker
