Sugar Chef

Celebrating life's sweetest occasions.

The New Sugar Chef Way

Our creations are more than beautiful-they are also delectable and eco-friendly. (Yes, they look as good as they taste!) All SugarChef cakes are hand-crafted from scratch using only the finest ingredients, such as natural sources of flavor and colorings whenever possible, pure butter and cream, unbleached flour, jams from locally harvested fruit, and chocolate from Valrhona, the premier chocolatier of France.

In creating our confections, we devote attention to detail and focus on local, seasonal products-think homemade marmalades and petits fours. As we experiment, test, and bake with an open mind, we prioritize sustainability and focus on operating with minimal waste; we also incorporate alternatives to traditional baking methods by using vegan and gluten-free products upon request or availability.

Our vision is to see a green and holistic future of our planet. Working from an eco-minded mentality, we aim to minimize waste and source local produce for use in our culinary creations, allowing you to indulge with a clean conscience. We also aim to lessen the need for sugar by using fresh, natural ingredients that amaze our customers with their delicate sophistication.

Let's talk cake!

We look forward to working with you on your next cake project!

Edible Art with a French Touch

The parent company of SugarChef, The Gardens of Bagatelle, is inspired by the sensations, aromas, and beauty of nature. Always excelling in beauty, creativity, and quality, each gourmet creation is adapted to the specific requests of our customers to elevate special occasions of any type.

Masterpieces of design and taste, our cakes are works of art from the inside out, made not only with passion but with earned insight, expert methods, and traditional manners of baking passed down to us through generations of skilled artisans. As a result, our creations are chic and elegant in appearance yet perfectly executed in flavor and style.

The Story

THE GARDENS OF BAGATELLE

SugarChef is now under the umbrella of The Gardens of Bagatelle, a baking company inspired by the famous botanical garden of Paris. Parc de Bagatelle, located at the Bois de Boulogne, dates to 1774 but today is best known for hosting an international competition of roses each June. The gardens are abundant with the floral aromas of hyacinths, daffodils, narcissus, and roses-nature groomed to its finest, a source of inspiration for all of our cakes, confections, and other creations. Accordingly, Lancôme's fragrance Jardins De Bagatelle, a celebration of the bouquet of scents exuded by the gardens, is the treasured signature parfum of our cake designer.

Bagatelle also refers to Le Bagatelle, or Fraisier, a fine strawberry cake created by celebrated French pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre in 1966. The romantic marriage of sponge cake, vanilla cream, and fresh strawberries announces the arrival of spring and is one of the most classic cakes in the French culinary tradition.

The Cake Ladies

Artists by blood, mother-daughter duo Marie and Leah are French-American culinary artisans, trained and highly skilled in the art of baking and cake decoration. Creative and professional, Marie and Leah are citizens of the world who combined their passions to create a vision for SugarChef that incorporates fine French baking with modern American tastes and sensibilities.

 

Having lived and traveled all over the world-and after growing up in a home filled with crêpes, tarts, cookies, and pies from the loving hands of their grandmothers-the pair are inspired by flavors and aromas from a wide repertoire of global traditions, from Sachertorte to Prinsesstårta, Red Velvet, and Tiramisu, to the Paris-Brest(for the connoisseurs!)
