Meet Miranda Petersen | Owner of Sugar RX

We had the good fortune of connecting with Miranda Petersen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Miranda, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting up my business was not an easy decision. I have been baking for many years for friends and family. I was told that I need to start my own business. I always told myself that I my baked goods were not good enough or my the don’t look as pretty. I found every excuse not to start a business many year ago. I met a my coworker Patrisia in 2017 and she has been my biggest support I wanting to start my business. In February of 2019 is when officially started my baking business it has been through a couple of name changes. Now it’s called Sugar RX. It got its current name because I work in a medical office we of course give out prescriptions (RX) and people definitely like sweets. Why not call it Sugar RX people can come to me to get there sugar fix. It literally took me over 15yrs to start my business and I owe it all to my coworker Patrisia for pushing me and not letting me give up.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have been working in the medical field for the past 22 years. I am still working in the medical field. I now also have my own business Sugar RX which is not a full time career, but I bake as often as people have the need for baked goods.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So I definitely like to try new places to eat. I would take my friend to The General Muir for dinner on her first night. The next morning we would go to Cafe Intermezzo for breakfast, we would do some shopping at the malls, check out the botanical gardens. We’d have dinner at Chops Lobster Bar and we would end the night at either The Red Phone Booth or Highland Cigar both of which have excellent drinks. I would also take my friend to the rooftop at Ponce City market, we would go to Doc’s for lemon pepper wing and drinks for lunch. We would check out a hawks basketball game if they had one playing. We would go to C&S Seafood Oyster bar, the last place we would go is colony Square have some drinks and eat at The Establishment.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Patrisia Howard has been a blessing because she was one me hard about getting serious and starting my own business.
