Brown Sugar Bakery is known for baking a legendary classic caramel cake. Caramel cake is a traditional yellow layer cake with southern roots. The entire mouthwatering cake is frosted in thick layers of caramel frosting. The caramel color comes from the brown sugar.
Established in 2002, Brown Sugar Bakery embodies the soulful essence of southern desserts. A tribute to family recipes that evoke comfort and nostalgia. Located in Chicago, IL and black owned. The bakery weaves a tale of tradition and channeling the spirit of those who have crafted these flavors for generations. Stephanie Hart is the Founder and CEO of Brown Sugar Bakery.
The bakery’s menu also expands into cupcakes, pies, caramel apples, and candy confections. Hart also owns a candy company called Candy Cupid.
Brown Sugar Bakery serves as a pillar of community engagement. Fostering employment opportunities and mentoring the next generation of bakers. Its roots are deeply embedded in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago.
Turtle Cake
Turtle Cake is a modified caramel cake. I enjoyed and devoured the four-layer Turtle Cake. Sprinkled with chopped pecans on top. With a swirl of chocolate and caramel frosting. Alternating layers of chocolate and yellow cake.
The cakes are delicately frozen and packaged to preserve appearance and freshness. The four-layer cake arrived partially frozen in a styrofoam box. Inside of the shipping box included gel packs and serving instructions. The cake can be refrozen in its original packaging for up to six months. Although, I ate my entire cake within a week.
Makes a tasty dessert in celebration of Thanksgiving Day and the approaching holiday season. Products are shipped nationwide on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to ensure freshness.

Buy black owned this holiday season, a sweet treat article.
We have to start patronizing black owned companies. If not then we are only consumers & no culture can survive like that.
Mayor Maxwell and his lady buy black products. They are cartoon characters with common sense.
