About Cricket Creek Enterprises
Cricket Creek Enterprises is a small family-run supply shop carrying baking, candy-making, spa-crafting, and party supplies for home enthusiasts and small businesses. The shop has been running for many years from the same studio, with a deliberately focused catalogue around the LorAnn Oils flavouring line and the products that pair naturally with it.
How the shop started
Cricket Creek started the way many small supply businesses do: a frustration with availability. The founder was a home candy-maker, kept running out of niche LorAnn flavour oils between local craft-store deliveries, and decided to keep a small stock at home to share with the local candy-making community. The local network grew, the online side opened, and over a few years the shop turned into a proper supply business. The family-run feel hasn't changed; the catalogue has just grown wider.
What we sell — and why
Four categories that overlap in the customers who buy them:
- Baking supplies for home bakers, cake decorators, and small-business cottage bakeries.
- Candy-making supplies, anchored by the LorAnn Oils line that the candy-making community knows. Hard-candy and gummy ingredients, molds, sticks, packaging.
- Spa-crafting — soap-making, bath bombs, lotion bases, fragrance and essential oils. The same flavour-and-fragrance buyers who shop our candy section often shop here too.
- Party supplies — cupcake liners and toppers, treat bags, ribbons, themed party kits. The "finishing" supplies that close out a baking or candy-making project.
Why we focus on LorAnn Oils
The LorAnn Oils line is the gold standard for many candy makers. Their flavour oils are concentrated enough to hold up in hot candy and hard-sugar work where weaker grocery-store extracts would burn off. We carry the line because we use it ourselves and because the candy-making community trusts it. Where another brand makes a better product for a specific application (vanilla extract for cakes, for instance), we carry that brand too — but LorAnn is the spine of the catalogue.
For small-business bakers
A growing share of our customers are small-business cottage bakers — people running a bakery out of a home kitchen, selling at local markets, or doing custom-order specialty cakes. We work with these customers on:
- Bulk pricing on regular orders. Email for the wholesale price sheet if you order monthly.
- Net-30 terms after a few orders' history, for cash-flow predictability.
- Sourcing requests — if there's a niche product you need and we don't carry, we can usually find it through our supplier network.
What we don't sell
- Specialty European confectionery ingredients (chocolate from named European houses, for instance). There are better-specialised shops for that.
- Large commercial-bakery equipment. Our kit is sized for home and cottage-bakery use.
- Bulk industrial quantities (drum-sized flavourings, pallet-quantity packaging). Wholesale-but-not-industrial is our scale.
Shipping
Most orders ship within two working days from our studio. We use USPS Priority for most orders and UPS Ground for larger shipments. International shipping is available but the flavour-oils sometimes have customs friction, so check before ordering if you're outside the US.
