Sweets are woven into childhood, culture, celebration, and memory. They are one of the most emotionally meaningful foods in our lives.
Yet for many people, especially children, much of their experience with sweets comes from highly processed versions that may not reflect the full range of ingredients, craftsmanship, and possibilities that sweets can offer.
We believe sweets are here to stay - and that they can be made and enjoyed with greater transparency, better ingredients, and deeper understanding.
