We are having so much fun with our Birthday Week of Giveaways… and we still have 2 days to go – I can barely contain my excitement!

Here to dazzle you with their wares are some more of my favorite companies!

Cakes and Kids Too is a treasure chest of an Etsy shop. When it comes to baking, if you can name it, Julie’s got it… cupcake liners, treat bags, push up pops – oh my! What I really really like are her Cupcake Kits, where she matches up sprinkles and cupcake liners in various themes – isn’t that awesome?  And for all of you cake pop makers… check out her multi-colored lollipop sticks!  Julie is incredibly friendly and ships orders fast… what’s not to love!

Our second company today is Sarita’s Jewelry Box, who I discoverd via Pinterest. Sarita’s jewelry is simply beautiful.  Her charm necklaces have such a great sense of whimsy, like these Flirty Nerdy Glasses or this Rainy Day Umbrella Charm with a blue crystal bead representing rain.  Some of her charms are brightly colored, and some are classic silver… whatever your fancy, Sarita has something for everyone – and its all organized into a simple menu at the top-left of her Etsy shop.

Last and certainly not least is one of my fave’s that I featured on Tuesday, CandiQuik! As I mentioned, since switching to CandiQuik, I’ve not had one cake pop become cracked.  Another thing that I absolutely LOVE, is that it’s solved my air bubble problem!  A quick story…

I used to have a terrible time with air bubbles. I would make a pretty batch of pops, clean up the kitchen, then look at my pops to see them leaking oil all over the place!  Air bubbles are usually caused from overstirring, and that happens a lot with traditional melting discs, because you have to stir stir stir every 30 seconds in the microwave.  CandiQuik solves all of that! It comes in one solid block, in its own tray… pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stir just a few times and you’re done!
