GET BAKED - SUGARBLOOM BAKERY
Sugarbloom Bakery, located in Highland Park, CA, is the brainchild of chef/owner Sharon Wang, a native Angeleno with roots in Taiwan. Sharon's journey to becoming a pastry chef started with a career in interactive design, co-founding Media Revolution in Santa Monica after attending UCLA. However, her passion for pastries led her to the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, where she honed her skills while working under the guidance of chef Thomas Keller.
Sharon's impressive career includes working with the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, where she crafted breads and pastries for renowned establishments such as The French Laundry, Per Se, Ad Hoc, and Bouchon Bistro and Bakery. Her dedication and talent led her to head the pastry departments at Bouchon in Yountville and Beverly Hills.
In 2012, drawing from her classic French training and multicultural upbringing in Los Angeles, Sharon ventured out on her own to start Sugarbloom Bakery. The bakery is a reflection of her diverse influences, offering a delightful array of viennoiseries, desserts, and custom cakes. Sugarbloom Bakery is a testament to Sharon's culinary expertise and her commitment to creating exceptional pastries that resonate with the vibrant and culturally rich community of Highland Park.
