Simmering Sugar

The Founders

Sharon and Katie Kelley have been baking together for as long as they can remember—their company is an extension of their natural mother-daughter time. Sharon Kelley grew up cooking for her family, preparing nightly meals for her three siblings and her parents, and later, for her own two children and husband. Katie graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas with a degree in Business Marketing in ‘08. After working in corporate marketing for three years, Katie returned home to Pasadena to pursue her passion for baking. She earned her pastry diploma from the Le Cordon Blue in 2011.
