Hi! My name is Lauren Thornton. I have been baking about 20 years! I am a self taught small batch baker and chocolate truffle maker. Shug's got it's name from my late Grandmommy, a few of the recipes I use are from her, and she always called her favorite people Shug, which was short for Sugar, in her very thick southern accent.
I do not do as much baking as I once did, but I still love to bake savory items, pies, and cookies. I mainly hand paint and create chocolate truffles. I am self taught and first began making truffles in 2021. Over the years I have come a very long way with not only the painting aspect but the flavors as well. I know my Grandmommy would be proud that I have stuck with it and created something truly beautiful, unique, and tasty.
For my local to Charleston, SC clients, my items are available directly from me, or in store at Yesterdays and Todays Unique Treasures in Moncks Corner, SC. https://yesterdaysandtodays.com/ For more information!
