Speonk is the new home of Sprinkles, which recently opened on the East End. Kathy Fusco, a wife and mother of two daughters, formed Sprinkles. Originally a licensed clinical Social Worker with an MSW from SUNY Stony Brook, she would decorate cakes and various desserts for herself, friends and family on the side for fun. What began as fun soon became a passion! For years she had toyed with the idea of opening up her own store local to her home. She finally decided she needed a change of scenery and began to open a store. Sprinkles is a cake decorating, candy making and baking supply retail store that offers many different items both craft and professional as well as cake mixes, gourmet chocolate and decorative dishware. Also available are gluten free cake and cookie mixes, cookbooks and cookie cutters. Wilton, Ateco, Barefoot Contessa, CK Products and Tracy Porter are just a few of the famous name companies whose products are also available at Sprinkles. If you are interested in learning to bake and decorate, there are cake-decorating classes along with children's classes available. Log on to the website, you will be surprised at what is available at this honey of a shop.
