Let me introduce you to Crystal. She is a mom of 4 and a wife of 15 years to a man who started off as her prom date. (Let's say it all together ladies "AWWWWWWWWWW" hehe)She is the owner of an Etsy shop that will make you want to put your face right up to your computer and lick your screen! It is called Sweet Momma's Creole Confections. She makes one of my favorite kinds of desserts. CAKE!!! Even better, it comes in a jar!!
Stop drooling!! I haven't even posted the picture yet!
Crystal started selling these as a way to make a living from home so she can be available to her very young daughter. You see, last year, in August 2011 her beautiful daughter, Faith, was born at 23 weeks and 6 days and weighed in at a whopping 1lb 3oz!! Imagine one of those little single serve pints of milk. That is how big she was, and that is 16 weeks and 1 day early. Her miracle baby spent 101 days in the NICU!! Little Miss Faith is now overall a healthy toddler. She still has a few problems that leaves Momma Crystal struggling with going to work outside of the home. Faith has some lung problems and a weakened immune system. That leaves daycare out of the question. One cold for Faith could land her right back in the hospital. Something no parent wants for their child.
So, here she is, a year later baking, and shipping her fabulous made to order cakes. The best part? She wants to give one away!! So use the rafflecopter below to enter!
Not sure of the uses for Cake in a Jar? I can list a few.
- Baby shower or Bridal shower party favors. You can even personalize the jars by adding labels with each guests name on them.
- Kids birthday parties
- Deployed family members birthday (yep she will ship APO/FPO
- Military son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, GRANDKID who has a birthday or special occasion and are stationed to far away to celebrate with them.
- Men, this would be a great "I'm sorry gift" hehe
- Ladies, you can freeze these and save them for a special week during the month that may or may not cause certain cravings and the desire to cram sweets into your face like a mad woman.
