Annalise Smalley. Popcorn from the dessert place. I got Omaha Mix, Carmel and white cheddar. It was amazing. Annalise Smalley , Staff Reporter April 29, One of the favorite ingredients of many Americans. From consuming almost pounds a year, Americans are always looking for new things to try to sweeten up their day.
Whether it is brownies, ice cream, candy or sugar-filled drinks, it is loved around the country, and a recently opened candy shop, Sugar Makery Bittersweet is here to satisfy your cravings. One of the owners, Katie Rea, has been looking for years for the perfect place to open up their sweet shop. After testing out multiple locations, they decided on opening in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
She grew up in Iowa and thought that opening in her birthplace would be the best decision. Before opening, Rea was a cake artist and made cakes for all occasions, from gender reveals to weddings and birthdays.
She called her own first business, Bittersweet Dessert Bar. The bittersweet part not only comes from the chocolate she uses, but also stands for all the moments in life, such as a baby turning one, which is a happy, yet sad moment as the child is growing up. From there, the business has been a success, and people love it. Months of planning led up to the opening of the delicious sugar place on March 15th.
They never thought that their business plans would be changed when the corona outbreak got worse, and they were worried they would not be able to succeed in the first few weeks. Instead, Iowa and Nebraska have supported them, and their doors are opened to everyone. To make sure everyone is safe, they only allow a maximum of 10 people inside at once and sanitize every hour to eliminate any germs that wandered in.
