Snow & More Snow




Our local weatherman forecast the possibility of one inch of snow. We got 4 1/2 inches! Good thing we have plenty of groceries because we can't get up or down our driveway. It is nice to be snowed in at least once a winter, and we've thoroughly enjoyed it!

Chilly but creative


Fall and Christmas are by far the busiest time of year for me, and now that January is in full swing I have had an opportunity to catch my breath. This is also the time of year that I do most of my creative experimenting with new products and formulations. After all, who wants to be outside in the rain/sleet/snow for very long? I am not tempted by cold weather at all, except for the first "real snow" each year. Still waiting for it, but in the meantime I've been in my workshop trying some new things, and I'm excited to share some of the "keepers" with you.


So many people have raved about our Pomegranate scent, but it never worked well in our soy wax. Now I think we have a winner in soap. It looks and smells amazing. I am pleased with it and have added it to the store. Hope you'll take a look.


I will tell you about more of my "experiments" soon. Got some ideas. Better go get started on them!

Pink Heart Sparkle Soaps


Pink Heart Sparkle Soaps were added to our store today. They are scented with Buttercream, which does smell good enough to eat (but please don't)!

Sweet Soaps for Your Sweet!


When I found this soap mold I had to make these. I hope you like them as much as I do! They come in a set of five soaps as shown. Each soap is 2 oz. This year give something unique, not the last minute run-of-the-mill chocolates/flowers/card. Too predictable. They'll never expect these.

Fresh Brewed Coffee scent


I can't believe I forgot to tell you...our bundt cake candles are now available in Fresh Brewed Coffee scent. This is a slightly sweet coffee fragrance with a mild hint of chocolate. Hope you like it.

New Additions to our Store


I added some creative soaps to the web store tonight. Check them out at http://www.sweetcakescandles.com/. This is my beverage of choice, sweet tea. Yes, I'm a southern gal.
