Some Spun Sugar Facts...

Owners, Bettye Travis and Linda Moreno, opened Spun Sugar in 1996 on University Ave.

99% of the classes at Spun Sugar are hands-on classes. Class sizes are kept small so that everyone gets ample attention from our instructors. Everyone always leaves with an armfull of goodies from the class, be it truffles, cheesecakes or a bouquet of gum paste flowers.

Spun Sugar also has an espresso bar and sells cookies and chocolate that are produced on the premises.
