Hello! My name is Katie and I am the owner of Give Me the Sugars, and have loved baking since I was a little girl. I am self-taught, and most of what I know about baking I learned from my mom, who is also an amazing baker! Baking brings me so much joy, but seeing the happiness it brings to my clients really makes it all worth it. I always strive to give clients exactly what they are looking for, and a dessert that's as unique as they are, which makes it so much fun! In addition to baking, I love music, the gym, spending time with my family, my cats, sports, and laughing!

I couldn't be happier with the cake decorator I chose for my wedding! From the very first consultation, she listened carefully to my ideas and brought them to life with incredible ...
creativity and attention to detail. The cake was not only stunningly beautiful, featuring edible pearls and elegant floral details, but it also tasted absolutely delicious — moist and flavorful. The decorator was professional, punctual, and made the whole process seamless. I received so many compliments from guests, and I will cherish the beautiful cake as one of the highlights of my wedding day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for talented and passionate cake art. With just one picture i sent her, she perfected a duplicate.

We cannot say enough positive things about Katie! She was incredibly easy to work with and helpful with all details regarding our wedding desserts (cake sizing, amount of desserts...
, flavor combinations, etc). Any questions we asked she responded to timely and detailed. Our guests raved over the cupcakes and mini cheesecakes we ordered- we did not have many leftover that night (highly recommend chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream- YUM!). Our personalized cutting cake was exactly what we envisioned it would be and the taste was utterly incredible! We are 100% going to be ordering more desserts from her going forward!!

Katie did an amazing job making my wedding cake dreams come true! She went above and beyond to create the flavor/filling combo I wanted. The cake itself was dense in the best way, ...
almost like a pound cake. None of that disappointing, overly sweet, crumbly nonsense I’ve had at other weddings. I just asked for a simple design (we wanted to arrange the flowers ourselves) and Katie delivered exactly what I wanted! All communication was fast and easy, and she coordinated delivery with my venue so I didn’t have to think about anything on wedding day. Katie even generously offered to make a complimentary cake for our one-year anniversary… who else does that?! Truly can’t beat supporting a small business, especially when the finished product is such high quality.

Katie was so helpful and communicative from start to finish when doing our wedding cake. I have a lot of dietary restrictions (dairy free & gluten free) and Katie was able to work ...
with me to still make us a beautiful two-tier wedding cake without upcharging for the more "complicated" aspects of the ingredients. She is easy to get in touch with, reasonable with pricing, and great at what she does. Whether or not you have specific dietary needs, I would highly recommend her services to anyone. :)
We also get a complimentary mini anniversary wedding cake so we don't have to freeze our topper?! Such a bonus!
Thanks for everything, Katie!!!

Katie made my wedding cake and cookie dreams come to LIFE! My husband and I have an 11month old Rottweiler that we really wanted incorporated into our cake, and she went beyond my ...
expectations with it! We did a simple 3 tiered cake with some detailed cookies on the side. The designs on the cookies were exactly what we wanted!! Not only did everything look magnificent, but the taste was OUTSTANDING as well!! Very affordable, great personality, overall you don't want to miss out on working with her!
