Happy EARTH Day!


Happy day, Earth! Sugar Bakeshop just wanted to send out a little reminder to all of our customers and fans that today is a very special day to remember. This little planet works hard to keep us all happy and comfortable, so in return, we should do our part too.

From the get go, Sugar Bakeshop has tried to be as eco-friendly as possible. From our eggs to our milk to our recyclable boxes and environmentally safe marketing materials we try to always make an effort to leave a little less of a footprint. Sometimes it's tough, but its all in the effort...a few good karma points never hurt anybody anyways.

So in celebration, here are some ideas for how to wish our Earth a big Happy Day:
1. Hug a tree
2. Plant a tree
3. Feed some birds with a homemade pinecone bird feeder that you learned to make in preschool
4. Ride your bike
5. Take the bus
6. Try out those reusable bags that you always seem to forget when you go to the store
7. Recycle something!
8. Go for a walk and pick up a few pieces of trash from those no good litterbugs
9. Forget the chemical fertilizers for your lawn and go organic on that grass!
10. Go take a big breath of fresh air, and feel that sun shine down on you.
We really do live in a pretty place. Let's keep it that way for each other.

Love,
Sugar Bakeshop

Saawweeeeetttt Action!

We get to meet awesome people all the time through this bakery business. A couple of months ago, I was approached by a pair of ice cream geniuses to come up with some baked goods for their sweet, hip shop. First of all, what an honor. Secondly, want to just trade your ice cream for my cookies for life??





Sugar Bakeshop is thrilled to be a part of the wildly popular Sweet Action Ice Cream. Not only are owners Sam and Chia creative and inspiring, but they have turned their biz into a very local, environmentally conscious place. The shop is wind-powered, their milk comes from Diamond D Dairy in Longmont, CO, and their funky flavors are spiced up by The Savory Spice shop (one of my favorite places in Denver!). They took a slew of our delicious, yet traditional goods and combined them with fresh flavors to create some totally new and modern ice cream sandwiches. It's not just chocolate and vanilla anymore!


Swing on by and get the best of both worlds...a little SB goodness and some new, hip, delicious ice cream sammiches (or just some of their AMAZING ice cream by the quart). They even have baklava (this little greek girl could ask for nothing more...).
Thanks Sweet Action Ice Cream-Sugar Bakeshop couldn't ask for cooler people to partner up with!
