Take the Cake

Sug-Art Cake Classes

You’ve never been one for contests. (The fifth-grade spelling bee? Totally rigged.) But the idea of winning a trip inside a magical treat factory (minus Veruca Salt) strikes you as pretty sweet.

No need to score a golden ticket to visit North Miami’s Sug-Art by Ruthy. The baking supply shop is not only a Willy Wonka-style wonderland of chocolates, jimmies, gels, and other confections, but it’s also a culinary school with classes that would appease the most discriminating Oompa Loompa.

Introduction to Spanish Baking will have you whipping up traditional tres leches and killer dark rum cake mas sabroso. Those yearning to move beyond Betty Crocker can sign up for Introduction to Airbrush or Cocoa Painting.

Sug-Art offers more than 30 classes, which means you’ll soon be creating baked goods to please everyone from Frosting-Phobic Fran to Carb-Counting Carl.

And yes, even Sweets-Spoiled Ms. Salt.

Sug-Art, 1005 Northeast 125 Street, suite 104, North Miami (305-891-4820 or sug-art.com).
