Who is the Candler Maker?
The Candler Maker goes by the name Whitney. She is from western North Carolina and lives in Candler, NC, which is a suburb of Asheville. She loves traveling and experiencing new cuisines and cultures.
Before becoming The Candler Maker, Whitney was a professional pastry cook, who washed her hands about a million times each shift. Between the handwashing and burn scars, Whitney's hands looked (and felt) like alligator skin, except more rough and dry. After much experimentation and many recipes (and cursing), the Candler Maker's soap recipe was born. To this day, Whitney's household actively uses each soap formulation.
Whitney is the proud mom of a curious kiddo named Charlie and a wonderful husband named Scott. When not being The Candler Maker, Whitney values spending time with loved ones, snuggling, quilting, and making things.
