Home Cake: Where It All Began

“Okay,” I said to myself. “I’m going to make lollipops. Where do I get stuff like sucker sticks?”

The answer turned out to be a small business about a mile from my house. Home Cake is a mildly chaotic and slightly cramped treasure trove where you can get just about anything you’d need for making cookies, cakes, cupcakes, candies… anything sweet that begins with a “c” I suppose.

The store’s been a Seattle fixture for several decades and it was recently written up in NWSource. I was actually in the shop the day writer was taking pictures and talking to Greil for the article. She took some good photos of the inside of the store.

Now that This Charming Candy is making lollipops on a larger, non-hobby scale, we don’t get too many of our supplies at retail anymore. But all my recreational lollipop making supplies still come from Home Cake.
