Happy Friday Y’all! As you may know, up until recently I’ve shared the office with two expecting ladies. Needless to say, there has been a bevy of sweet treats around the office! While some are forgettable, we have completely fallen for Sugar Bakeshop’s carmel cupcakes…I mean, it is a full blown love affair. They are the perfect blend of sweet, salty goodness.

Sugar is located just around the corner from us (convenient, right?) in a cozy spot on Cannon St.

Everything about this little gem is inviting, including the owners! I had a chance to chat with one of the owners, Bill, about how he gets his caramel this delicious. I found out, like many fabulous recipes, this old fashioned cooked caramel recipe was handed down from his mother’s family, who live and bake in Chattanooga, TN. Bill says it’s a labor of of love that takes a bit of practice to get right. I’m just glad he continues to practice it right down the street from us.

This recipe gets used on all sorts of sweets at Sugar from caramel cake to a seasonal confection, apple spice bundt cake.

Since we are expecting a bit of fall weather this weekend, I couldn’t think of a better time to go pick up one of these treats from Sugar! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
