Mouth Party
The original vanilla caramel started it all and is derived from Jane Drake Cummings’ four generation old family recipe. Jane, who has been married to my father for over 35 years, first shared her family secret with me when I was in middle school. GAME OVER - I was hooked.
In 2006, when Jane became ill with Lymphoma for a second time, we discussed the possibility of selling her delectable caramels. I decided to take the plunge and founded Mouth Party Caramel on the commitment to help advance cancer research and cancer support services by donating a portion of our company net profits.
In the fourteen years since its inception, Mouth Party Caramel has won the hearts and stomachs of many! We have survived two total loss floods, expanded our caramel product line, relocated to a 8,000sf kitchen facility, and grown to a crew of 12 incredible caramelistas. We continue to use 5 simple and clean ingredients to transform our family recipe into caramel magic.
