The Moment You Didn’t Plan For
He wasn’t the target audience. But when he saw a custom sugar lollipop with a view like that, he stopped.
Then he took the photo — and so did everyone else.
Printed in Sugar. Placed in the Wild.
The Candy Moment That Belongs in a Museum
We printed a custom seahorse lollipop and placed it inside the seahorse exhibit at Birch Aquarium.
No one expected it — and every guest reached for their camera.
Custom Candy That Matches the Moment
We Printed a Circus Tent for a Circus Queen on Stilts
She was the centerpiece of the show — standing tall in sequins, velvet, and red gloves.
We handed her a custom circus tent lollipop.
The crowd turned. Cameras came out.
It was a spectacle inside a spectacle.

Meet the Maker Behind the Magic
Phyllis Hong isn’t your typical tech founder — and that’s exactly why top brands and DMCs remember her. With over 25 years of experience at the intersection of marketing, innovation, and experiential events, she brings a rare blend of big-picture strategy and boots-on-the-ground creativity.
Before launching The Sugar Printer™ in the U.S., Phyllis partnered with more than 250 brands — from Disney to Nordstrom — to create buzzworthy influencer campaigns and unforgettable brand moments. When she discovered this revolutionary edible tech overseas, she moved fast — securing exclusive U.S. distribution rights and bringing it stateside for the first time.
Today, she works with world-class brands, DMCs, and event producers to deliver unforgettable activations that literally taste like magic.
What started as a cookie-printing side hustle (The Sweet Printer) quickly grew into a quietly booming business serving clients like Rady Children’s Hospital, UC San Diego, and RNDC. With The Sugar Printer™, Phyllis is now scaling that magic nationwide — empowering brands to turn their logos into edible wow, live and on-demand.
Based in San Diego, Phyllis is also a mom of three amazing kids on the autism spectrum and has been married to her college sweetheart, Phil, since 2002. Together, they’re building a company rooted in wonder, wow, and work ethic.
Whether you're hosting 100 guests or 100,000, Phyllis and her team know how to make your brand the most talked-about moment at any event.
With love + sugar,
Phyllis 💖
