Wow! What a transformation!
Have It Sweet's entire stock looks totally scrumptious.
Yah i'm obsessed with etsy. obsessed.
Just wondering, did you guys (Kitchn editors) actually try all the candies above, or are you recommending solely based on looks?
I've actually ordered Fig & Kindle toasted almond anise brittle and walnut rosemary brittle--- THEY ARE INSANE.
What thedonna said. Did you?
We haven't ordered from all of the vendors listed above, but as a rule of thumb anyone who takes this much are with their photography and presentation also takes the same amount of care and determination in producing the best product possible when it comes to taste too!
So, I buy a lot of things on etsy. But one thing I won't buy is food. Aren't food sellers supposed to be insured? Isn't it a bit risky? Does anyone else feel the same way?
I'm now obessed with Foodzie, which is like an etsy for food!
obsessed.
sorry. it's late :)
St@cy, a lot of food vendors on etsy ARE insured - just send them a note to ask.
I've ordered from Whimsy and Spice before. The cookies were excellent.
