Sugar Boutique Studio — Restaurant in North Hertfordshire

Words can never fully describe our experience. From start to finish absolutely amazing. My mother in law died in December 2022. We wanted the reception, after the cremation service, to be an afternoon tea. She always loved scones, jam and cream. The first venue we booked, for 16th January, cancelled our booking on Xmas Eve. The second was unable to help but reconmended The Sugar Boutique. What a find👍🙂👍🙂. We walked in and met Tasha. What a star. She is absolutely focussed on making sure your event is totally tailored to your every need. Sugar Boutique cater for all types of gathering for example childrens Harry Potter parties, big birthday afternoon teas, Hen gatherings, Wakes etc. We discussed the food and Tasha said that with the cup cakes she could add a topper with my mother in laws face taken from old photos. They were classic. We had bicuits with tributes in the icing and a pot dessert that my mother in law used to make for the grandchildren which Tasha replicated in mini teacups and glasses. The, now in their 40's grandchildren were delighted. We had a super selection of sweet and savoury foods along with tea, coffee and orange juice. We decided to toast her passing with a glass of Prosecco. We were able to hang family photos around the room and display various photo albums and memorabilia, for the family, to evoke memories. Tasha and her team were incredible. The room was beautifully prepared and the food display was very eye catching. Drinks were constantly topped up but Tasha was very discreet as she circulated. We are extremely grateful to the Sugar Boutique for ensuring that our families were able to send mum, grandma, mother in law ....off in such style. We could not have asked for more. If you want to be spoilt, feel special and want an afternoon tea to remember, (probably maximum of 25 guests) you will not find better than the...

An appointment was made 4 weeks ago with Tasha by my sons fiancee for a wedding cake tasting for 10.30 today Sat 24th November 18.The location of the wedding was 2 hrs drive away and Tasha was happy with the location. The website states it charges per mile after 5 miles. Nothing about distance on the site. We all duly turned up at just after 10.30hrs after a long 2 hr drive to be greeted with horror by the first shop assistant who when told why we were there said "What!". A phone call to Tasha was made by the shop assistant and she came back saying Tasha had a family emergency and could we come back Wed or Thurs. The answer was no so the assistant went to call Tasha again and the most senior came out and announced she had spoken to Tashas mum and Tasha had been taken into hospital the night before to have her appendix out ( but she will still be well enough for cake tasting this Wed). The same assistant then said Tasha was not due to be in work today and there were no appointments in the diary. She did take the blame as being most senior and then offered a box of free cupcakes after announcing that they do not deliver to Colchester. The assistant was most put out when told no one would be back for a cake order. Also very disappointed in how small the shop was, and the cupcakes looked a lot smaller than in the...

Very Good quality cake shop suited for events and parties, but a strong Each to Their Own warning comesas you will either love the experience / cakes or hate it, experience shoes there is little middle ground.

The shop itself is run professionally by staff that care about the experience and have always been friendly on visits. It's a small shop so expect to come here for an event / party or to buy cakes to take away, as its not standard cafe sized i.e designed for groups / individuals in mind.

The cakes themselves are always fresh and full of flavours but can be very sugary depending on what you pick, which could put put those off that like traditional cakes that aren't sweet.

Always moves with the times and the decor / outside changes with the time of year, and seems to support local community events as of Easter 2018 at time of review. The inside decor is stylised but in a unique / nice way and does not grate.

Overall recommended as the presentation / cakes are good quality and the business cares about its services, but you need to take into account the high sugar content of some...
