  Customer Testimonial :  
"We had Chef Alekka come and do a couples cooking class for Valentine's Day, and we couldn't have been happier. This was easily the best Valentine's Day any of us had ever had. The entire evening was educational, delicious, and most importantly - loads of fun. I would highly recommend trying any one of their classes. Roxann and Chef Alekka make it so easy and entertaining. We not only plan on using Give Me Some Sugar again, but we plan to tell everyone we know about them as well. We also found out they have gift certificates available, so even if you're not into cooking you can give a fantastic gift to someone who is. Bottom line, if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!"

  Customer Testimonial :  
My daughter and I had a great time, in the cake class on Nov. 8th. She couldn't wait to get home and show all of her friends the cake and tell them about how much fun she had. She has also been bugging me about making a cake of our own. I also want to let you know that was the best butter cream frosting I have ever had. Thanks again for the great ending to our mother daughter weekend.
