How Sweet It Is Candy and Confections: Review and Giveaway

Kaye introduced herself to me after wanting to expand business a bit.  She is a sweet woman who by day is an engineer, and by night a mom. However, she somehow manages to find the time to bake ever so delicious candies and confections that were handed down by her mom.iusb_760x100.8337282

Everything she makes is done by hand – and has never failed to impress family and friends who have eaten her goodies and told her that she should be in business! She opened up an Etsy store to satisfy both her need for cooking delicious treats; as well as to keep her friends’ figures –  by sharing her delicious goodies with other people *How Sweet, right?* <ok so I might have made that up…> but I’m sure her friends were probably enjoying her cooking, and didn’t want to take advantage any more Winking smile I know I would be putting on the pounds if I had a friend who loved to bake delicious goodies all the time!

Kaye sent me some Orange Creamsicle Fudge and some Birthday Cake Bark to sample.  My husband has really enjoyed them (to the point where I have had to scold him several times and tell him that they’re MINE to sample – not his Winking smileil_570xN.229798285

Orange Creamsicle Fudge

Reminiscent of meeting the ice cream truck at the curb, this fudge is creamy, rich and has a great punch of citrus great for the summer. This rich, decadent fudge is created by methods taught to me by my mom, who I personally consider the queen of handmade candy.

il_570xN.236467902Birthday Cake Bark
To celebrate your next birthday or festivity, why not sink your teeth into this tasty cake-flavored bark candy, reminiscent of birthday parties from your childhood. Made with a paper thin layer of dark chocolate on the bottom and topped off with a cake-flavored vanilla candy coating on top just before being dusted with sprinkles on top to add to the party. This delicious homemade bark candy is crunchy and thin enough to break apart easily when eating. Perfect for birthday parties and other festivities!
