Hand Sewn Bakery Items

Okay, for all you faux food, zero calorie, bakery treat lovers! One of my NEWEST additions is the Bakery stichery line. Can you say "Yummy"?!? Each item is hand sewn, stained with a special secret brew, HIGHLY scented to match the item, and then topped with wonderful goodies! You just can not go wrong with these scentsational bakery treats!


I have an old primitive bakery hutch that I have these displayed on in my home. I have cookies in apothecary jars with lids, muffins in the old baker pans, Pies in the hutch, and everytime people come to visit they are amazed at how wicked cute and amazing these items smell! They have been a HUGE seller in my shoppes, and I know you will just fall in love with these at first sniff/sight!


You can find these items at the main bakery shoppe http://www.countrycraftsncandies.com/ under stichery items, and you can also find them in my etsy shoppe at http://countrycraftsncandie.etsy.com/


Below are just a few of the items, so check out the shoppes for the full product line! Oh, and did I mention you can get the Long John donuts in different toppings? How about Strawberry with sprinkles, Chocolate with Sprinkles?

How to properly burn a cake or cupcake candle

Never light a pillar candle with the intention of only burning for a short while. Candles have memories strangely enough and while only melt as far as the last melt pool. Light your wick and leave the candle to burn. As it nears the outer edges, gently push the soft wax towards the center slightly all the way round. This is what is called "hugging" in the candle trade. It will contain the wax and help your candle burn all the way to the bottom. Follow this handy tip and get the best from you wax pillar.


The following 2 video's will walk you through an instructional video of "Hugging" your "Free-Standing" candle so that you can ensure the longest burn time possible for your candles.

May Updates

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the delays in postings! Things have been extremely busy with not only the business but also the family.

This month lots of NEW items have been added to the Bakery Shoppe. Check out these amazing NEW items posted under the Stichery, Gift Baskets, and Children's Bath categories.

As many of you know I have relocated to Mass from Ohio in the past year. Back in Ohio, my family and I have worked very closely with a wonderful organization that helps to rescue abused and neglected horses. Sadly the laws in Ohio do not protect the safety of these beautiful creatures, but rather treat them as livestock which have no protection what so ever. What does this mean? It means that in order to rescue these beautiful animals, the rescue has to purchase the abused and neglected animal from their abusive owner. YES I said Purchase! Many times the rescue pays $1000's of dollars out of their pocket in order to provide a loving home for these animals.

Angels Haven Horse Rescue www.angelshavenhorserescue.org is a non profit organization that helps to rescue these animals, get them back to health, and then trys to place the horse with a loving and safe home. Visit their web page and see these beautiful animals and how much the rescue has helped nurse these animals back to health.

In efforts to help the rescue, I have created a NEW children's bath soap that may be found not only in my shoppe, but also through the rescue.

Giddey Up Suds


If you purchase this soap along with several other items listed in my shoppes, 50% of the purchase will be donated to Angels Haven Horse Rescue. If you mention the rescue in the additional comments when making your purchase, an additional 10% will be donated to the rescue. These soaps may be purchase from me, or directly from the rescue.

Help the rescue continue their remarkable efforts in providing safe and loving homes for these beautiful animals!
