We offer wholesale! Do you have brick and mortar shop and would like to stock our products? We sell throughout the US and abroad to select gift stores, museum shops, gourmet and specialty foods locations, etc. Please send us a message for more info.
IMPORTANT!!!! Everything is hand made to order. Please understand that every order takes care, time to prep and make up, and then ship out to you. We don’t have stock ready to go.

Please consider ordering as early as possible for your event, allowing for extra shipping time. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our tiny business for so many years. We wholeheartedly appreciate you. ♥️
USPS is currently experiencing unprecedented shipping delays. Please understand that everything will take longer than expected to arrive to you. We have no control over shipments once we bring them to the post office. We’re keeping an eye on every package we’re sending out, and everything is delayed. We send everything 2-3 Day Priority mail, but the post office is having major delays. We sincerely apologize for these delays caused by USPS.
🍭 Follow us on Instagram at @asecretforest to buy ready to ship lollipops, special sales, and to see some behind the scenes fun in our kitchen! 🍭
Due to the influx of daily inquires about bulk pricing discounts, please read the following -

♥ PLEASE READ OUR FAQ SECTION BELOW!!
♥️International customers ~ I HIGHLY recommend purchasing tracking with your shipping. Standard international shipping does not come with tracking info, just a customs number. I can set up a separate listing charge for tracking, so you're able to monitor where your package is. Tracking is an additional $14 (actual USPS charge) along with your shipping fee. If you do not purchase tracking, there's no way that you or I can track where your package is.

5 out of 5 starsThese are MAGICAL!! I highly recommend this shop — the quality of the product and the service was amazing. The seller was highly responsive to messages, making sure that I got my order exactly when I needed it. I cannot adequately describe how beautiful these turned out — pictures DO NOT do them justice. These are absolute works of art!!

Everything is hand painted, hand cut, and hand poured to order in small batches.
Maker of magical confections in Richmond, VA.
I've always been dazzled by all things sugar. I have fond childhood memories of wanting more than anything to play in Willy Wonka's candy garden, and I couldn't understand why crystal red candy apples sparkling on trees and buttercup sugar teacups were not readily available to me. Something had to be done about this!!
I went to pastry school a few years back and created lots of butttercream dreams. No macaron taunted me. No Marie Antoinette worthy French confection was too elaborate. I've had the great honor of creating confections for lovely clients and friends. It is an absolute joy to be able to do this and have people respond so positively.
Hard candy is my absolute favorite medium. I find it so gorgeous, and the possibilites are truly endless. I'm constantly dreaming up new flavors and designs and I'm always finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places.

Frequently asked questions
How long do the lollipops last?
The lollipops last approximately 4-6 weeks beautifully. After that, they might start to lose their shape and clarity, as they contain no preservatives. Lollipops that don't contain any fresh herbs are still perfectly edible to eat after a month. Humidity can also cause the lollipops to lose their shape.
How can I store the lollipops?
I recommended storing them in a food safe plastic bin, out of direct sunlight. They do not need to be refrigerated.
Can I buy singles of the lollipops?
We have the marshmallow moon single lollipops and hummingbird single dancer lollipops in the etsy shop. These are the only lollipops that we offer singles of at this time.
Is everything edible in your lollipops?
Yes! Everything is food grade, non toxic, and safe for consumption. If you have any specific questions about a certain ingredient, please send me a convo. We purchase all of our ingredients at candy and cake supply retailers.
I like a certain design, but I don't like the flavor. Can I change it?
Yes! Just send me a convo with what flavor you would like, I'm happy to sub flavors. There might be an additional charge for premium flavors.
Do your alcohol flavored lollipops contain actual alcohol?
Nope! Just alcohol candy flavoring.
Can I have a discount on my order?
We do not offer discounts on our lollipops. Everything is made by hand in small batches. We use the finest ingredients available. Lots of the lollipops are highly detailed and require a lot of time and skill creating each and every lolly. Everything is priced accordingly based on materials, time, and labor.
How big are the lollipops?
The standard size mold that I use is a round that’s just under 3”.
Will you donate your lollipops to our event/gift basket/giveaway in exchange for publicity?
We do not offer donations at this time.
Will you send me free lollipops to review on my blog/Instagram in exchange for a promo?
We will not send you free lollipops to review on your blog. You are welcomed to purchase our lollipops and write about them on whichever platform that you choose.
