Description
Our Location: We are a specialty retail store that carries supplies and ingredients for cake decorating, baking, chocolate work, sugar art and candy making. We carry both domestic and imported food and confectionary ingredients and we teach classes. Spun Sugar has an Italian espresso bar, sells cookies and confections that are produced on the premises by our Executive Pastry Chef, Mitchell Hughes. We use whole ingredients; fresh eggs, butter, real vanilla and the best chocolate in all of our products.
Classes: Spun Sugar believes that you must experience the process to learn fully, not just watch, so 99% of our classes are hands-on. Class sizes are kept small so that everyone gets ample attention from our instructors. Everyone always leaves with a box full of goodies, be it truffles, cheesecakes or a bouquet of gum paste flowers.
Chocolate: Our “Wall of Chocolate” is legendary. We offer a huge selection of top of the line bulk chocolate for your epicurean project. We are a distributor for the Guittard Chocolate Company and also supply high-end chocolate such as Callebaut, Valrohna and Cordillera. No order is too big or too small. We supply businesses and individuals. Visit our On Line Chocolate Store to purchase your favorite chocolate.
Our helpful and knowledgeable staff is always happy to answer your questions and guide you to the right tool or ingredient. If we don't have what you're looking for, we'll try to point you in the right direction. We love to bake and decorate and we want everyone to share in the joy of the art. In fact several of Spun Sugar’s staff have created award winning sugar pieces, come in and see our ribbons!
We are members of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, participating in several of their fundraisers throughout the year. We also support many local schools with donations for their annual fundraising events. We've supported Oakland Zoo's Walk in the Wild, Children's Fairyland and events for Children's Hospital.
