Great Opportunity

Scholarship Opportunity! 💚💚💚
We were completely caught off guard and honored this week when we were notified by the Nicholas Lodge Legacy Foundation, Inc. that they had chosen the 2026 Simi Sugar Splash Retreat as their next scholarship for an All Access Retreat Ticket.
The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the continued education and advancement of sugar artists. Their mission is to nurture creativity, skill, and passion by providing scholarships throughout the year. By investing in the next generation of sugar artists, they carry forward Chef Nicholas Lodge’s enduring legacy of excellence, generosity, and dedication to the art form he so deeply loved.
Chef Nicholas Lodge was a founding member of the Simi Sugar Splash Retreat that started 5 years ago. We were in the planning stages of year 2 of the Retreat when he toured the new location and vision for moving forward. He had so many wonderful ideas we have implemented, and he was so excited to return when the world lost our favorite Green Tornado. We are honored that a truly deserving sugar artist will be chosen as the recipient of the scholarship in his name for an event that was so close to his heart.

I hope you will consider applying for the Nicholas Lodge Legacy Foundation Scholarship. Please read all of the information for applying:

On the last day of our 5th annual sugar art retreat, we invite you for a fun day of learning with special guest chefs, sugar artists, and instructors from around the globe. Tables will be set up with time to check out different demonstrations at each, watch and learn or sit and try your hand at a mini hands-on project as we socialize, play, and shop the vendors set up for the whole day! After a short afternoon break, finish the evening with a delicious catered dinner, dessert, raffle prizes, and a whimsical costume contest filled with surprises!
This is a ticketed event open to the public, for any skill level from enthusiast to professional interested in learning more about the edible and culinary arts.
