My faux baked goods are shipped in proper bakery boxes, or cellophane bags, depending on the item. There are accent liners, tissue papers, and the thing I’m most excited about, scented inserts. That means when you open the box of cinnamon rolls, you’ll smell cinnamon rolls. When you open the bag of peanut butter cookies, the scent of peanut butter cookies will greet you.

I’ve been a member of Etsy since 2008, and one of the things I’ve noticed over the years is how detailed most of the packaging has been. I once ordered a set of hand-turned wooden snowmen that came in a custom fitted felt envelope with a sleeve for each snowman. On the other side of the coin, I ordered something not long ago that arrived wrapped in paper towels and stuffed into a plastic baggy. It really is the little things that set people apart, and I want to make sure my packaging says, “This is not just a way to make a few extra dollars to support my polymer clay habit, but rather a way to share with you the things I’m proud of creating.”

I’ve recently ordered another bundle of fragrance oils to go with all the new baked goods I plan to make. Here’s what on the upcoming menu: cupcakes, mini bunt cakes, mini chocolate cake bites, cornbread with honey, toasted marshmallows (which may possibly lead to s’mores), apple pie, Christmas cookies, and chocolate covered strawberries!
