About the Show
Sugar first started in October 2002. Each episode was about 24 minutes long. The show focused completely on making desserts.
How Each Episode Works
Every episode of Sugar had a special main ingredient. For example, one episode might be all about chocolate.
- First, Anna Olson would show how to make a simple dessert using that ingredient.
- Then, she would create a more complex or fancy dessert. This one also used the same main ingredient.
- Near the end of the show, there was a part called the "Switch-Up." Here, Anna would take the first simple dessert and make it even more special. She would add a few cool tricks to change it up.
