We've got exciting news! Starting today, a selection of our products are available to order online! The items we're offering right now all travel well in the heat, and as the weather and seasons change, we'll be updating our inventory. You can still order by calling us at our Columbia location (209-532-7886) but this will hopefully offer you a more convenient option. Thank you all for your continued support and patronage. www.shopcolumbiacandykitchen.com

Every Christmas season, we have the privilege of opening our kitchen to people from all around the county, state, and country. We walk them through the process of making candy canes, and they have an opportunity to shape their own canes however they'd like. Unfortunately, with the circumstances we're all living and operating under, we won't be able to do that this year. We will still be making candy canes, and you'll be able to see them through our windows the same as every y...ear, but the kitchen will be closed to the public. We look forward to seeing you all in our store fronts, and the canes will still be available to purchase just as in years past. Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate the support you all have given us over the many years, and especially in these recent uncertain months. Thank you so very much for your continued patronage. Sincerely, The Nelson Family
