Hello, our delicious friends! Hoping a yummy and loving 2025 to you all! I know it's been a while since you've heard from us, but life tends to throw curve balls that make us take a step back to recalibrate. We appreciate your love and understanding. π«Άπ»
(ππ€Read all the way to the bottom if interested in our Valentinesπ€π)
We have good and less good news to start the new year. Let's rip off the bandaid first...
Cruel Confections, sadly, will no longer be able to do small orders. Smash cakes, regular birthday, small order cupcakes & cake pops, etc... Unfortunately, after going over the cost, TIME, & love put into these fun projects, we are only paying ourselves at most $8 a hour and as low as .50 a hour because of the time it takes to make sculpted chocolate pieces and alllll the small details in each piece, drawing out of chocolate, handmade buttercream & fillings, etc, etc, etc....
However, we will still be taking on the occasional large order. That includes weddings, Quinceaneras, anniversaries, large birthday orders, or any miscellaneous orders over $500+. We sincerely apologize for any sad faces, but that's how I fell after spending sooo much time & effort yet not being able to make a living off of the craft I love with all my soul. That's where the good news comes in...
Cruel Confections is thrilled to announce our sister company: "Skull Lovin Beach"! Skull Lovin Beach dives into the world of all art mediums: Clay, epoxy, mixed media, custom paintings, graffiti art, candles, ETC! More information and a page will be launched within the next 4 weeks, and we couldn't be more excited to share the expansion of our art universe with you!! We look forward to taking any idea bouncing around in that skull of yours and turning it into YOUR reality!
π€πMuch love, Cruel Confections & Skull Lovin Beach.
**If you're still reading this, I have a couple of Valentines gifts up my sleeve, but I don't have all my pictures yet due to only making a few. The gifts will include: A chocolate coffin box (yes it opens), a cardboard coffin filled with an assortmentof chocolates, 2-4 chocolate covered Booberries, a custom, handmade "love spell" candle, a ghost heart candle and a couple more items I haven't decided on yet, but I'll know more Monday/Tuesday. All packaged adorably spooky. If that sounds up your alley, let me know, and you'll be the first in line for our limited Valentines gift. Only a few will be made. More pictures will be released between the 10th and 11th. Thank you!
ππ€Wash your hands & be kindπ€π
