# Sonoran Sugar — Real Baking, No Red 40

> Honest buying guides and real-kitchen recipes for home bakers. Real butter, no box mix, no Red 40. Based in Anthem, Arizona.

## Quick Facts

- Sonoran Sugar is a baking content brand — we publish buying guides and recipes for home bakers who want to bake from scratch.
- The moat: real ingredients. We recommend tools and ingredients for baking with real butter, natural food coloring, and couverture chocolate — not box mix and Red 40.
- Monetized with affiliate links (Amazon Associates). Some links pay us a small commission; it never changes the pick.
