how it all began
Lindsay Conchar created Life, Love and Sugar in 2012 as a place to share recipes – both sweet and savory – to share her love of food. Growing up in the kitchen with her mom, she learned to cook, but her creative passion led her to a love of baking.
Her ability to turn dessert into something both beautiful and delicious (along with her serious sweet tooth) made desserts the focus of Life, Love and Sugar, with a few savory recipes sprinkled in.
Today, Life Love and Sugar has grown into an online community of more than 1.5 million dessert lovers.
what you’ll find
approachable recipes
From simple to more complicated, my goal is always to make the recipes approachable for all levels of baker, while also making sure the flavor is just right.
insight and tips
My recipes are tested not just once or twice, but over and over until they are perfect. Sometimes that means we are testing recipes 5, 10 or even more times!
clear, detailed instructions
From clear instructions and step-by-step photos to video tutorials – all are there to help you get the best
results.
recipes you can trust
I explain why things work and what not to do. I also test substitutions and keep in mind common questions so those details can be included.
a mix of classic and creative recipes
Sometimes the classics are the comfort you need, other times a little creativity brings extra fun into the kitchen. You can find it all here.
I also share tutorials and informational posts to truly make sure you’ll be successful. Whether you need help learning how to layer a cake or frost a cake, set up a cheesecake for a water bath, or want to understand the difference between baking soda and baking powder, I’ve got you covered.
i have a cookbook!
I published a bestselling cookbook, Simply Beautiful Homemade Cakes, in 2016. With 65 recipes, it includes everything from cookie cakes, single layer cakes, cupcakes, layered cakes, ice cream cakes, cheesecakes and more! Plus, an entire chapter showing you all the tips, tricks and techniques I used to bake and decorate the cakes in the book! Everything from setting up cake pans and piping bags to 15+ tutorials showing you the decorating techniques used in the book.
