In the beginning...

Here are some of my first attempts at trying to make cute cake pops.  I got better!



We made these for a family brunch for my principal.  Everyone at school as been SO supportive.  Because of them, we have a business.  So thanks ladies!!




And then there was the biscottii...Oh the biscottii.  Dana and I were hired to make these delightful little treats for the Volunteer Appreciation breakfast we had at school.  When they asked us to do it, I didn't know how to make biscottii.  After several tries and a few recipes, I found a winner.  275 bags didn't seem like it would be that much...but it was!!
I baked 18 batches in a day in a half; Dana wrapped 275 bags in about 4 hours!  What a task!  But we did it!  It was so successful and everyone was so impressed.  Our business began!

First of all, and most importantly...Happy Mother's Day!
Welcome to AZ Sugar Rush.

AZ Sugar Rush started out as a fun way for us (Vicki Meyn and Dana Telford, two educators and friends) to hang out and make goodies for our friends and family before Christmas while our boys played.  It started as us making Saltine bark and toffee.  It started out as just a fun thing for us to do!  It started out as "Happy Happy Candy".  It started...

Now, we here we are:  AZ Sugar Rush!  I'm not quite sure how it happened, or even why, but I tried making cake pops.  I did it!  It was fun! Suddenly, we were more than Happy Happy Candy.  We were more than toffee and bark.  We were the beginning of a company that people were interested in buying our pops.  Our friendship continues, our boys are getting bigger and we are growing into a great little business. 

So follow us along on this amazing journey!
hugs,
