Far too many years ago a little monkey was born with a very sugary spoon in her mouth. There she is just down there. A wee me, on that most wondrous of school days, Picture Day, no doubt saying "cookies."

When I wasn't busy running amuck, tripping over my feet, I would play in the kitchen, creating treats such as Rice Crispee Tartar, volcanos with caramel lava and make yummy treats for friends on their birthdays. I was even so bold as to attempt to make a croque en bouche for a 7th grade French project.

Try as I might throughout the years to replace that sugar-laden spoon with a camera, or a paintbrush, by getting a BFA from SUNY Purchase; as well as a MS in Education, some snappy big-girl outfits, and a stick or two of chalk, I kept going right back to working with all things sugary—the draw was just too strong. In 2006 I graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education, and worked alongside of Michael Laiskonis at Le Bernardin.

Out of this lifelong dance with baking came sugarliciousny™. I take great pride in being able to offer you yummy, tongue pleasing treats. It's my hope that you can feel the love in every bite.

Happy nibbling,
Merin Frazier
