The Sugar Sisters story

Hi, I'm Kelli — welcome back to Sugar Sisters.

For years, Sugar Sisters was a little brick-and-mortar bakery on West Douglas Avenue in Wichita's Delano district. If you found us back then, you probably remember the line out the door on Saturday mornings — and the cinnamon rolls that started it all.

The little shop on Douglas Avenue

Sugar Sisters began the way the best bakeries do: one family recipe, one very trusted stand mixer, and more nerve than business plan. The shop grew into a neighborhood ritual — birthday cupcakes for kids I watched grow up, wedding cupcakes for couples who met in line, and pan after pan of cinnamon rolls that never quite made it home intact.

Years of “do you still bake?”

In 2017 I closed the shop doors and hung up my apron — or tried to. Family, old customers, friends of friends... the question never stopped: “Do you still make those cinnamon rolls?” The honest answer was always yes. The oven never really went cold; it just got quieter.

Back home, back to basics

So here we are. Sugar Sisters is back — smaller on purpose, baked from my licensed home kitchen in Park City. No storefront, no display case, just the recipes people kept asking about, made in small batches and timed to your morning. Every order is mixed, proofed, rolled, and iced by hand. By me. That's the whole staff, and I like it that way.

What you can count on

Over thirty years of jumbo cinnamon rolls — the kind so big they need their own zip code. Real butter and real vanilla, never shortcuts. Frostings you pick yourself, from Classic Cream Cheese to Bougie Maple with actual gold leaf. Every pan ships with a free mini snickerdoodle cookie cake, because I'm not a monster. And a baker who genuinely remembers your order — around here you're not a ticket number, you're a neighbor.

With love and cinnamon, Kelli Sykes Sugar Sisters Bakery · Park City, KS
