Baked at home, in small batches
Meet the baker
Hi, I'm Ava 👋
I'm 16 and I've just finished my GCSEs. Shed & Sugar is my first proper little business, and one I'm hoping to grow and keep running for many years to come. It started as a summer idea, but I've fallen in love with it and want to make it something that lasts. I'm also off to college in Bury St Edmunds to study professional cookery and patisserie, so I'm always learning new skills to make your treats even better. Everything is made at home, by me, in small batches and with a lot of love. The shed is open and unmanned, so you can pop by whenever suits you, pick your treats and pay by scanning the QR code. Thank you so much for supporting something I've built from scratch. It honestly means the world. 🧡
