  • Cake Business on The Go with Megan Slaton
    May 29 2023

    Tune in with us on this episode entitled “Cake Business on the Go with Megan Slaton”

    Megan Slaton is a passionate baker. She’s known for her elegant designs and delicious recipes that people just keep coming back for. 

    At the age of sixteen, she purchased her first cake decorating set with the intention of entering a county fair for her high school culinary course. This event sparked her love for baking. 

    In the years that followed, she diligently nurtured her passion, both through personal exploration and professional development. Immersed in the world of confectionery arts, she dedicated herself to honing her skills as a cake decorator, seizing opportunities to work at local bakeries. With each passing day, her affection for the art of cake decoration grew stronger.

    Today, she proudly stands at the helm of her own bakery, which accompanies her as she traverses the nation in support of her husband's career in the United States Marine Corps. The genesis of her business can be traced back to March 2018, during their tenure at Camp Lejeune, N.C. It was there that the seeds of an idea were sown, only to bear fruit later that year on the enchanting island of O'ahu. By September 2022, Sugar, Spice, and All Things Iced had firmly established its roots in Central Florida, specifically in the vibrant city of Apopka.

    With genuine appreciation and deep gratitude, she extends a warm welcome to all those who grace her bakery's threshold. The opportunity to share her creations and be part of her customers' special moments fills her heart with honor and joy.
