New Kid On The Block

The Spice Rack, our first lollipop collection, was recently spotted hanging out with the Breakfast Tray, our newest collection. I like to imagine that the Spice Rack is offering words of wisdom to the new kid whose craft show debut will be Urban Craft Uprising…

“Stand up straight… smile at the nice people… be confident about how great you taste!”

Ok, I guess I have a pretty weird imagination. Come to Urban Craft Uprising and be nice to the Breakfast Tray!

Buckets of Candy

This is only a small portion of the buckets of candy we have ready and waiting for Urban Craft Uprising this weekend. See if you can spot the Love Triangles, Breakfast Trays, Spice Racks, and Adventure Packs! (Don't worry Celebration Time fans - we'll have plenty of those too. They're just not in this picture.)

Pistachio-Marshmallow in Process

Susan made another batch of scrumptious Pistachio-Marshmallow lollipops yesterday, and resident photographer Kevin Keeker was there to capture the magic! I love the color swirling of yellow and blue make green going on in this picture.

Visit us at UCU this weekend and see the finished product for yourself!

Nothing New Under The Sun?

Man, every time I make Pistachio-Marshmallow lollipops, two things happen:

1. Heather, the cake decorator at Starry Nights (the kitchen where I make all the candy), says something like, “Ohh that smells so good! You’re making my favorite flavor again, aren’t you?”
2. I fall in love with their color all over again

Recently, I found out from a culinary student that she made pistachio-flavored fresh marshmallows in one of her pastry classes. She was amazed at how well the two flavors worked together – as are we. So even if This Charming Candy isn’t the only place in the world that took a chance on this flavor combination, I’m quite happy that we offer this unusual and loveable lollipop.

You can get Pistachio-Marshmallow and all our other flavors on Etsy or at Urban Craft Uprising this weekend!

Leaping Lollipops!

We had fun taking pictures of our Breakfast Tray and Spice Rack lollipops last weekend. Check this one out - they've just popped out of the toaster:

Come buy some Breakfast Tray lollipops at Urban Craft Uprising on July 10 & 11!

Crafty Sweets!

I kind of love the cute little graphic that they're using for Urban Craft Uprising this year. As purveyors of artisan sweets, we love the idea of pie and cake and donuts crafting! (Added later: Susan just told me that CakeSpy drew this picture. She'll also be at UCU.)

If you're in the Seattle area on July 10-11, please stop by and purchase your favorite collection!
