The Sweet Legacy of Sugabon Bakes
Growing up near Sioux City, Iowa, I spent countless hours in my grandma Lavina Sewalson’s tiny kitchen, perched on a stool beside the stove. There, I watched her transform simple ingredients into mouthwatering pies, cinnamon rolls, and chocolate sheet cakes, all while welcoming family with warm smiles and delicious aromas.
Grandma had no written recipes—just her heart and a sprinkle of sugar, her secret ingredient that made everything better. As I learned from her, I discovered the joy of sharing baked treats and the happiness they brought to others.
Inspired by her legacy of love and sweetness, I created Sugabon Bakes. My mission is simple: to deliver smiles and moments of pure bliss with every bite. I’m Jessica Peterson, and I’m thrilled you’re here. Let’s make something sweet together!
These are a few of my favorite things!
The Flour Box
I love The Flour Box! Anne Yorks has a gracious sweet style. Her site contains adorable cookie cutters and sets as well as online cookie classes. My favorite thing about The Flour Box is the Flour Box Club membership. I am always so excited to get that pink box!
The Sugar Art
If you are looking for amazing colors for your royal icing, butter cream or even melted chocolate, the Sugar Art is a must. Their site has many tutorials to help you use their fabulous products. My favorite thing about the Sugar Art is the gel colors. They are full of pigment and have a great guide for getting the right hue.
Semi Sweet Designs
Semi Sweet Designs creates adorable and approachable cookie cutters and designs. He offers tutorials for all of his designs. My favorite things from Semi Sweet Designs are the cookie sets that create a platter. So much fun for gifting for the holidays or to take to a group event.

The Cookie Countess
I love all the PINK! The Cookie Countess excels at creating Stencils to give your cookies added dimension. They also have amazing cookie packaging products (bags and boxes and bows - oh my). The Cookie Countess also has their own line of airbrush systems and airbrush colors. My favorite things at the cookie countess are the stencils, airbrush system and airbrush colors.
