Our Story
Sugar Bliss is a woman-minority-owned bakery based in Chicago, offering catering services, corporate gifts, and a variety of baked goods, including cupcakes, cake pops, French macarons, brownies, and cookies.
Sugar Bliss also offers retail packaged cookies sold at retailers and foodservice. A portion of the proceeds supports women and minority entrepreneurs and environmental conservation. All products are packaged sustainably, reflecting our commitment to social responsibility and eco-conscious practices.
Over 17 years, Sugar Bliss has grown from a small, woman- and minority-owned bakery into a national brand.
Market Expansion
Over 17 years, we've grown from a small, woman- and minority-owned bakery into a national brand while staying true to our mission: to create lasting opportunities for women, minorities, and small businesses.
Job Growth
Sugar Bliss has created and sustained over 20 jobs, with many employees staying for 2 to 7+ years, offering stable employment and professional development, especially for women and minorities.
Community / Social Impact
Sugar Bliss donates a portion of retail cookie proceeds to support women and minority entrepreneurs and created the Sugar Bliss Scholarship, helping over 25 women-owned businesses obtain certification.
Sustainability
Through its partnership with Plastic Bank, for every bag of cookies sold, Sugar Bliss removes the equivalent of five bags of ocean plastic, offsetting its environmental footprint. Sugar Bliss cookies use sustainable packaging, reducing environmental impact.
