My Story

Food is my passion.

I began learning to cook from my parents at a young age, at a time when the best recipes were either passed down in families or hidden away in cookbooks. I loved flipping through old cookbooks, skimming recipes and looking at pictures of dishes and wondering, “Can I do that?”

I started Sugar & Spice Catering in 2010 as a way to challenge myself. I wanted to push myself to make new things, to see if I could prepare large amounts of food for large groups of people. Over the years I have constantly pushed myself to learn new techniques and designs.

Food is my passion, and I pour that passion into every dish I cook. It is the same passion I will bring to catering your event. Get in touch with me today to learn how I can help make your event a day to remember.

The dinner was a complete success.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Shari Frachiseur/Sugar & Spice Catering. I have known Mrs. Frachiseur for several years and when a friend of mine approached me to host a formal dinner for our daughter’s Homecoming event she was the first person who came to mind. The dinner was a complete success with forty-seven guests in attendance.
Ms. Frachiseur had a beautiful table set up with a large variety of desserts. We served a large chocolate cake, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, lemon bars, and blonde brownies. Not only were the desserts delicious, but the table was beautiful too. Her dedication to quality customer service was bar none. I had forgotten to bring a few items I needed to set up the rest of the dinner and Ms. Frachiseur went out of her to help me out.
I can confidently recommend Ms. Frachiseur for any banquet, reception or other event you may be planning. She will get the job done with elegance, the food will be delightful, and the prices are unbeatable.

We are always excited to know when Shari has prepared the food.

My daughter Megan was married in April 2009. We had a church wedding with a reception following at our home. Shari came early that morning and began preparing the food as we were getting ready to leave for the church. She was very prepared, bringing a lot of her own supplies, and also very organized. I left for the church without any worries.
When we returned from the wedding, everything was ready and looked beautiful. There was a variety of food that was displayed very creatively. The food not only looked great, but it tasted even better! The guests made comments all afternoon about how good everything looked and tasted. Some even wanted her name for future reference. I was extremely pleased and so relieved that I did not have to worry about that aspect of the wedding.
Shari has also prepared food for our staff luncheons and breakfasts at our school. The presentation of the food has always been very inviting and always very delicious. Teachers love to eat, so we are always excited to know when Shari has prepared the food.
I would recommend Shari to prepare the food for any function. She is very organized, professional, easy to work with, and her prices are very reasonable. I would definitely use her services again in the future.

The entire evening could not have been more perfect.

My oldest son, Kevin, was getting married, and I needed to find a caterer for the rehearsal dinner. I had no idea where to begin, but after finding Shari Frachiseur, my worries faded away.
When the rehearsal dinner arrived, the entire evening could not have been more perfect. Kevin and his bride wanted fajitas, so Shari planned the menu around their request. We all enjoyed a bountiful dish of fajitas, rice and beans, amazing homemade salsa, brownies, chocolate covered strawberries and several other dessert choices.
From the beginning, Shari was a delight to work with, and the guests raved about how delicious the food was. The evening was stress-free for me and my husband as Shari took care of everything! She was extremely well prepared and organized. Shari has lovely serving pieces, so not only was the food wonderful, but the presentation was also very impressive. I have two other sons and a daughter, so I look forward to many more catering opportunities with Shari. The food, the value, and the service simply cannot be beaten – anywhere.

The food was excellent and well prepared.

Shari Frachiseur, with Sugar and Spice Catering is an exemplary and talented young lady. She did an outstanding job for our junior Class ASAP fundraiser. We have used her for two separate fundraisers. Shari organized a great casserole fundraiser and then we held a bake good sale as well.
At all times she was professional, the food was excellent and well prepared. Shari prepared the flyers, took all orders, prepared the food and made sure all items were labeled well and worked with us to make sure they were all delivered. We only received high praise for the delicious food and the manner in which the fundraiser was handled. Shari has high expectations of herself as well as others. She is respected for her talents, organization, and professionalism at all times.
It has been an honor and privilege to have worked with Shari. She has enthusiasm and energy to accomplish any job put before her. Shari has done a wonderful job on all the food that we have used for our fundraisers this year. I have attended many catered events that she has done for our school as well. The presentation and food were all exceptional. The display of the food was very attractive and appealing. The simple finger foods to the full course meals have all been enjoyable and hassle free.
Shari has an amazing talent and it was truly a pleasure to work with her on our projects. We also look forward to and enjoy when we know she is the caterer. Shari and Sugar and Spice Catering will make your event successful, no matter how small or large. Her help is always courteous and helpful. Her hardworking positive attitude will motivate her in all she attempts in life. I enthusiastically recommend her for any catering job or fundraiser that your organization or event needs. She is a wonderful young lady and a joy to work with.

I would highly recommend Sugar & Spice Catering.

Sugar & Spice Catering provides excellent service and food. Shari's a great communicator and very easy to work with from the first consultation to the end of the wedding. She catered my daughter's wedding yesterday and we had twice the number of people we had planned for. Shari had more than enough food and never appeared flustered. She and her assistants were very professional and even made sure the kitchen at the church was spotless before they left. Shari also works very hard to make sure she keeps the cost down. I would highly recommend Sugar & Spice Catering and would gladly use them again.

She is the one to call.

Shari with Sugar & Spice Catering knows her business! I came to her months in advanced with a major wishlist and through her expert guidance and cost-saving suggestions she made it happen for my wedding day. Shari stayed in constant contact with me to discuss details, alternatives and offered sound advice. All are must-haves when planning your own wedding.
Every guest (including that one aunt you just can't please) complimented the food, the presentation, and the service that Sugar & Spice Catering provided. I could not have wished for better service, no matter the price—and she was very affordable. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. If you are considering a catered affair, she is the one to call.
