The Sweetums Story:

Many years ago, two little girls met each other in Sunday school and forged a friendship.  After going to separate elementary schools, they finally could see each other more often in junior high school.  High school brought them even closer, some would even say they were joined at the hip.  College sent them in different directions, but they made a deal to talk on a weekly basis.  After college, still best of friends, they never managed to live near each other. Throughout their friendship they shared many things including the love of baking.  After over 40 years of being apart, they finally live near each other again, and now bake together.  The Original Cake in a Jar is a labor of love and product of their life long friendship.

We use gingham as our trademark, which appears on our business cards, printed materials, jar labels and some ribbon on the jars. 

Call or e-mail Joan if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Joan and Marcia
