Sugar Bones Bake Shop – Sebastian, FL
Sugar Bones Bake Shop in Sebastian is the creation of pastry chef Michelle “Shelly” Lawrence and her husband, Cravius. Shelly, a graduate of The Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, has a decade of experience in high-end hotels and mom-and-pop bakeries. The couple began the business from their home kitchen before COVID—making holiday pumpkin rolls, custom cakes, and French macarons—before expanding into buttery pastries that quickly developed a loyal following. In late 2024, Sugar Bones transitioned from a cottage operation to its current storefront, where their creations often sell out before the day is done. A participant in our Treasure Coast MasterChef Baking Competition last year, Shelly continues to prove that “sugar is in her bones,” crafting pastries worth setting your alarm for.
