Our products and services

Cricket Creek Enterprises started as a kitchen-table hobby and grew into a proper supply business. Today the catalogue covers four overlapping categories, each stocked with the brands and products our own bakers and makers use at the bench. Below is a deeper look at what we carry, how we source it, and why each product earns its spot on our shelves.

LorAnn Oils flavouring line

The backbone of the catalogue. LorAnn super-strength flavour oils are purpose-built for candy making: concentrated enough to hold up at hard-crack temperatures where grocery-store vanilla extract would simply burn off. We carry over sixty flavours across the full range — from the classics (peppermint, cinnamon, anise) through the fruit line (watermelon, mango, cherry) and into the seasonal specialties (pumpkin spice, mulled cider, gingerbread).

Sizes run from single-dram bottles for small batches up to 16-ounce pints for production work. The per-unit cost drops meaningfully at 4 oz and again at 16 oz, which is why many of our regular customers buy at the pint level and portion into smaller working bottles.

Baking supplies

The baking section covers what a home baker or small cottage bakery needs beyond flour and sugar:

• Chocolate and coating — premium baking chocolate in semisweet, milk, and dark varieties; candy melts in dozens of colours for cake-pop and pretzel work; compound coating for dipping.
• Fondant and gum paste — Satin Ice fondant in pre-coloured and white rolls; gum paste for flowers and fine detail work; modelling chocolate.
• Colour — AmeriColor and Chef Master gel colours in the full spectrum; petal dust for airbrushing; edible glitter; gold and silver leaf.
• Tools — Ateco and Wilton piping tips (individual and boxed sets), turntables, fondant smoothers, rolling pins with thickness guides, bench scrapers, cake drums and boards.

Pricing runs from a few dollars for individual tips and small colour bottles up to around $120 for complete decorating kits. Most items ship within two working days.

Candy-making supplies

Beyond the LorAnn oils themselves, the candy section carries everything needed to produce finished confections:

• Molds — silicone and polycarbonate molds in dozens of shapes. Lollipop molds, gummy moulds, chocolate bar molds, seasonal themed shapes.
• Sticks and packaging — lollipop sticks in 4-inch and 6-inch lengths (bags of 50 through bulk boxes of 1,000), sucker bags in clear cellophane and printed designs, twist ties, heat-seal bags.
• Ingredients — citric acid for sour candy, isomalt for sugar-free hard candy, candy thermometers rated to 400 F, candy-colour drops that won't seize in hot sugar.
• Specialty — edible shimmer dust for candy coating, candy writers for detail work, rock-candy kits, cotton-candy flavouring.

Spa and bath crafting

The spa-crafting category grew naturally from the candy section — many of our flavour-oil customers also make soap, bath bombs, and body-care products. The overlap in ingredients (essential oils, fragrance oils, moulds, colorants) made it a logical extension.

• Soap making — melt-and-pour bases (clear glycerin, white, goat's milk, shea butter), soap moulds, colorants, fragrance oils rated for cold-process and melt-and-pour.
• Bath bombs — citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, witch hazel spray bottles, bath-bomb moulds in sphere and novelty shapes, polysorbate 80, dried botanicals.
• Body care — lotion bases, body-butter bases, lip-balm tubes and tins, beeswax pellets, shea butter, cocoa butter, carrier oils (jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut).
• Essential oils — lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, lemon, sweet orange, rosemary, and about twenty others in 10 ml, 30 ml, and 100 ml sizes.

Party and packaging supplies

The "finishing" category — everything you need after the baking or candy-making is done:

• Cupcake liners in standard, mini, and jumbo sizes. Dozens of patterns from classic white through seasonal prints.
• Cupcake toppers — paper-cut, printed, and novelty pick styles.
• Treat bags in cellophane and kraft paper, with and without windows.
• Ribbon in satin, grosgrain, and organza. Standard widths from 3 mm to 25 mm.
• Gift boxes with inserts sized for cookies, truffles, and small candy assortments.
• Labels and tags — blank and custom-printed options for cottage-bakery branding.

Wholesale and bulk ordering

A growing share of our customers order regularly for a small business — cottage bakeries, market-stall candy makers, handmade-soap sellers on Etsy and at craft fairs. For these customers we offer:

• Wholesale pricing at 15-25% off retail on monthly orders.
• Stronger discounts on the LorAnn line at pint quantities and above.
• Net-30 payment terms after a few orders' history.
• Sourcing requests — if you need something niche that we don't stock, we can usually find it.
