Ingrid and David Broderick and their 9 year old daughter, Emily, run Emily'Sugar Rush, located at the cross roads of Austin Street and 72nd Avenue in Forest Hills, New York a mere 4 stops on the E or F train from Midtown Manhattan or just 8 miles by car.
Emily'Sugar Rush is an old fashion Country Chic candy store located in the middle of urban Forest Hills. When you walk into Emily's not only will you feel like you have been transported back in time but out of the City to a country getaway such as New Hope, PA, Rock Port, MA or Mystic, CT. Ingrid and her staff will warmly greet you with the long forgotten word of "Welcome."
Ingrid prides herself with customer service. If she does not carry the candy you wish, she will seek it out. Ingrid has made many wonderful discoveries for their customers who have learned from Ingrid that their old time favorite candy still exists but may have merely changed name, ie. "Marathon Bar" became the "Curly Wurly" and the "Delfa Roll" is now the "Broadway Roll".
One will find licorice creams, honey-filled queen bees, gummi bears, jawbreakers, salt water taffy, orange slices, cherry bites, spearmint leaves, horehound drops, old time chewing gum, and licorice twists among the array of Old Fashioned candy. It's a treasure trove of products for those filling Easter baskets or shopping for Valentine, Halloween, or Christmas.
However, for those who want more and are daring there are "Ant Candies," "Scorpion Suckers," "Chocolate Covered Ants" and a lot more.
Ingrid told me while interviewing her to build this website
"We knew nothing about Candy when we opened this store in May (2011). We are enjoying the process of learning about Candy and it has become both a passion and adventure. My husband loves speaking to people in England, France and Italy about confections. And, we are constantly seeking to bring more candies made from real sugar and NOT high fructose corn syrup."
Ingrid further told me that she was surprised to learn that many of her customers are "Vegan" and a large group of others desire "gluten free" candies. As a result Emily's is constantly updating their selection provide a more extensive selection of these types of Candies and have asked that this website be built to create those categories of candies.
Emily's Truffles are to die for and their cake is out of this world. You have to be lucky to get their cake. Their baker, "Big Mo," brings only so many slices of cake daily. Once those cakes are sold, that is it for the day. They are out. And, the cakes sell out fast. I asked Ingrid, "Why don't you carry more slices of cake?" Ingrid answered, "Because, we want our cake to always be fresh. If you have 100 pieces of Red Velvet Cake and only 50 sell, then you have 50 pieces of day old cake. Who wants that? If that's what the customer wants, they can get that anywhere.". We host Sugar Bashes not parties
So,throw your child a Sugar Bash at Emily'Sugar Rush!
Create memories your child will never forget! Imagine,an entire Candy Store closed for several hours for your child's special day. Yes! We will close the store during the party. However,we will only host two maybe three Sugar Bashes a month.
Our philosophy is that a Sugar Bash is an Event! We do not believe you and your guest should be rushed in,here is your pizza,blow out the candles,now go home because the next party is already coming in. If that is the party you desire,we are not the right forum you.
There is NO up selling!
In other words the cost is the cost. There is No extra cost unless you decide that you would like to add something that is not offered.
Choose a Party Theme and we will Help you! Really,we will help you. We are a resource beyond compare.
Since we throw custom events and Not the typical "Dine and Dash parties",pricing is impossible to do determine until we have an idea what kind of Bash you want to throw for your child.
