This Charming Candy Etsy Shop

Location

We are Kate and Susan and we run This Charming Candy. Kate lives in Silicon Valley and is a member of SFEtsy street team. Susan lives in Seattle and is a member of the EtsyRAIN street team.

Susan made her first lollipops as part of a science project, believe it or not. She loved watching the syrup boil, learning how to handle it, playing around with pretty food coloring and coming up with new ways to combine familiar flavors. She started bringing lollipops to gatherings with friends around New Years 2009.

Soon she was totally hooked on making lollipops. All the positive reinforcement from her sugar-loving friends sure didn't hurt either. Kate came on board shortly thereafter, running from her latest experience in a big technology company. She spent a lot of time eating the lollipops that Susan was making, being fascinated with watching Susan make lollipops, enjoying eating the lollipops, and wanting to do what she could to make sure everyone she knew did too.

We are licensed food handlers and processors in the state of Washington, and we make our candy in a licensed commercial catering kitchen. This kitchen processes foods to which some customers may be allergic, including milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans.
