Established in honor of the late Chef Nicholas Lodge, a beloved and renowned figure in the world of Sugar Art, the Foundation is dedicated to supporting the continued education and advancement of sugar artists. Our mission is to nurture creativity, skill, and passion by providing scholarships throughout the year. These scholarships assist recipients in furthering their education through class fees, essential supplies, and personalized educational guidance. By investing in the next generation of sugar artists, we 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 pastry chef, master cake artist, author, instructor, and globally renowned judge.  He was the co-owner of the Atlanta-based international sugar art collection, a school teaching all levels of cake decorating and sugar art. Chef Nicholas was best known for his botanically correct gum paste flowers. At the age of sixteen Nicholas enrolled in the National Bakery School in London. He worked at a bakery and a flower shop each weekend where he dissected flowers and compiled detailed notes together with templates to exactly re-create these flowers using gum paste.

Please give generously in support of continuing the legacy that Nicholas has built for all of us to now share with others.
