Sugar & Salt is no longer. But we just couldn't delete the page! There are far too many good memories and fun photos here. Thank you all again for the fun times! Enjoy the old page and the pics found here, but alas - the bakery is no more.

You can find Dave and his new full-time job over at David S. Shockley II - Author or grab one of his books at Barnes & Nobel, Amazon, Audible and wherever books are sold!

You can also keep up with Mary and Dave over on YouTube, where they share adventures, recipes, and general fun (link below). You MIGHT even find some old Sugar & Salt recipes and How-To videos. ;)

***UPDATED!*** - ***NEW DATE AND TIME!***

7/24/19 - Due to unforeseen events, we are moving this little 'tag sale' to SUNDAY, JULY 28th, From 1-3 p.m. Same time, same place, but 24 hours later. Thanks guys! See you soon!

Hi guys!
�
It’s been a while, so we thought we’d let everyone know what’s been going on with Sugar & Salt.
�
Unfortunately, we were unable to find a buyer for the business. As much as we would have loved to see Sugar & Salt carry on in the safe hands of our awesome fans and regulars, we were just unable to make that happen. :( Business is a tricky thing, even when dealing with a successful one, and we understand that.
�
While we are sad to report that Sugar & Salt’s doors will remain closed, we are happy to announce that maybe we can help some of our fans and the local community!
�
On ***(SUNDAY, JULY 28th, From 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.)*** we will open our doors to anyone looking for bakery equipment and quite a few other items! Everything from utensils and cake & cupcake pans, to professional equipment like stainless steel tables, mixers, and more, will be available to first come fans!
�
We like the idea of doing this in conjunction of opening up some the inventory to the world at large, as we'd like to help Fluvanna locals grab some sweet items for sweet prices. Afterwards, we will offer the ENTIRE items list online to everyone, everywhere.
�
So join us in a bittersweet moment. Upgrade or add to your existing kitchen / home, and say hi!
�

Bid update!

It's been made known to us that some folks could use a little more time to work on their bids. We certainly understand busy lives and delays, so we're extending the bid deadline until Friday, June 28th at 5 pm. To remain fair, though, we will now be evaluating bids on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thank to everyone for their continued support for and interest in Sugar & Salt! 🙂

Announcement!

We have multiple parties who have expressed potential interest in acquiring Sugar & Salt. We are so happy that so many people would like to keep this sweet business going as part of the Fluvanna community!

Because of the number of purchase inquiries, we are announcing the acceptance of sealed bid proposals starting today. Any interested parties can contact us at [email protected], and they will be sent a secure link to Sugar & Salt’s relevant business information and bidding instructions.

Note: those who have already expressed interest and provided us with an email address will receive an email with this link shortly.

All bids must be submitted no later than Friday, June 21, 2019, at 5:00 PM. We will then review all the proposals and select the one with which we will move forward. We look forward to reviewing all the proposals and getting Sugar & Salt back to baking!

To our fans:

We wish we didn’t have to make this announcement, but we do. After two years and an amazing amount of fun, we are closing Sugar & Salt’s doors permanently. This is a decision unfortunately driven by the major health concerns we’ve already shared with you, but we’re hopeful that we will now be able to focus and bring those issues under control.

This is a painful step for us. We love what the business has brought to the community and to us, how many community members it has employed, how many new people we have met. We’ve loved watching the business grow and seeing new people of all ages come through our doors every day. We loved sharing our sweet treats, our fun, and our delicious creations with all of you.

Above all, though, we appreciate our customers and what they’ve brought us. Fun, appreciation, laughter, food challenges, and a willingness to share Sugar & Salt with friends and family far and near. We will miss seeing all of you every day, sharing hugs and stories, and putting smiles on your faces and ours.

We are hopeful that we can sell the business so it can continue to operate in the community that has been so overwhelmingly supportive of it, and we will keep everyone updated as to whether that occurs. For now, though, we close with a sincere and grateful THANK YOU to everyone who has come through these doors, and with a piece of advice: never stop dreaming, and remember that life is meant to be savored!

Be well,

The Sugar & Salt Crew

WOW! And just like that, we are completely "SOLD OUT" literally hours before we were due to close today! And by "SOLD OUT" we mean there might be a chocolate dipped Oreo left, but that is it! Thank you all for the amazing outpouring of support. Rest assured that Dave is tackling his heart puzzle with a strong and positive attitude, and we all hope to see you again, share some sweets, smiles, and laughs VERY SOON!

Sugar & Salt will be closing for a little while after tomorrow.

We have a lot to be thankful for these last two years, including the amazing support of our customers, employees, and business community. We’ve sincerely appreciated seeing so many of you become repeat customers, even going so far as insisting that all your out-of-town visitors stop by and try us! We’ve loved partnering with local businesses and helping showcase tasty foods and wines made right here in Central Virginia. We’ve enjoyed watching our employees get to know our customers, learn about baking, and try new things outside the business, including everything from college to the Peace Corps.

Running a small business isn’t easy, but can be extremely rewarding if you’re willing to put in the work. However, even when you put your heart and soul into a business, you need to take care of your heart outside the business as well. And this is where we are as business owners.
As many of you know, despite his relatively young age, Dave has had multiple heart surgeries. Since those surgeries nearly a decade ago, things have gone fairly well in the heart department for him…until very recently. A different injury brought attention to some alarming symptoms, which needed to be diagnosed immediately. While we were blessed to not be hit with the worst-case scenario, we have dodged a proverbial bullet and have been instructed to make some significant life changes as soon as possible.

So we’re going to take a week or two to figure out what that means for us. This isn’t easy for us to do on such short notice – especially since we have new customers coming in the door every day, 2019 is our best year on record, and our business continues to grow – but it’s necessary for us to take a small breather to have the time to coordinate with doctors and other care providers. It will also allow our employees to take a vacation, which is a nice break for them. :)

We’ll be be open as usual tomorrow (Saturday, May 11) and are going to have a lot of fun getting all of you ready for Mother’s Day - and stocking up for whatever else you need! We’ll be open from 10:00 am until we sell through all our inventory. After that, we’ll let everyone know when we have sorted everything out personally. Thank you for your patience as we focus elsewhere for a little while!
