"Jan Loomis grew up in the artist community of Monterey, California where she aspired to be a potter or jeweler. Creating art has always been a part of her life; her grandfather was a chef and her mother owned a quaint gourmet food shop. Although Jan's professional career has been in emergency medicine administration, she considersjherself primarily and artist whose medium is cake, icing and gumpaste. With her family's culinary history and inspiration from the beautiful surroundings of her coastal home, it was only natural that she would create Sugar Garden Cakes."

Jan is honored to be named one of the "Interesting People" featured by Albert Uster Imports. To read the entire article go to: http://www.auiswiss.com/culin_people.cfm?CatID=1553. 

At Sugar Gardens, we consider ourselves an art studio whose medium happens to be cake batter, cookie dough and icing.   We want our artwork to integrate with your special occasion to make fond and lasting memories.  Because of our unique approach, we only accept a limited number of cakes and cookies per month.  This ensures that we can devote 100% of our time to your order.  Our goal is to make each piece of Sugar Gardens art a masterpiece. 

Sugar Gardens is not a “walk-in” bakery, therefore an appointment is required if you would like to meet with us or see our work close up.

We offer complimentary tastings with a minimum order of $300.  Our tastings are legendary and this experience is guaranteed to leave you feeling quite pampered.

Due to the time and care given a Sugar Garden cake, we require a minimum order of $200.00.  Depending on the design, flavor and fillings, the minimum cost per slice is $6.00.

Our cookies are priced at a minimum of $5.00 each.  Complex designs, or designs with more than three colors, will add to the price. 

We require a minimum order of $100.00.

We require a 50% deposit at the time of order.

Our deliver fee varies by location.  For the TriValley area we charge $25.00.

From Lisa S: "Our wedding cake was exquisite!! Jan of Sugar Gardens was very professional, very flexible, and very enthusiastic about her art. (Her work is truly an art form). She worked with us to incorporate our cake dreams into reality! We were speechless when we saw our cake, it was gorgeous and more than we could've dreamed of! The color match was perfect and the lilies were out of this world. It was almost a shame to have to cut the cake and serve it.

But we are so glad we did. The taste was truly amazing. Such flavor and melted in your mouth. Absolutely delicious!

Jan is an amazing artist and an amazing chef! She is creative and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Sugar Gardens to anyone who wants a delicious custom cake that looks like it was torn from a wedding magazine and tastes out of this world."

From Amy R: "I could not have dreamed of a better cake for my wedding! Jan does amazing work with the utmost attention to detail. It is breathtaking and more beautiful then any fresh cut flower you can find. Jan listens to exactly what you want, offers excellent feedback, and absolutely exceeds expectations. I plan on using her for any event that I need an amazing cake.

She is more talented then any person you see on cake decorating shows. And she is so humble with her work. I absolutely loved working with her, and her calm confidence put me at ease to know that I was going to have an amazing cake. I almost hate to share this gem of a cake designer and decorator but she was just so amazing I can not keep quiet about it. "

From Maureen: "Jan provided cookies for a tea party/wedding shower for my daughter, and they were just spectacular! Each cookie was decorated differently so each guest had their own unique "piece of edible art." You cannot get any more "custom" than that! Our guests were blown away by the detail and no one wanted to eat their cookie. I can't wait for another occasion so I can commission Jan for some very special cookies again."
