As a Realtor, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is finding unique ways to celebrate my clients’ new beginnings. Closing day is not just about handing over keys; it’s about making the moment memorable with thoughtful touches that reflect the warmth and joy of starting a new chapter. That’s why I’m thrilled to highlight one of my favorite local spots: Sunshine Caramel Co.
A Local Gem with a Sweet Mission
Sunshine Caramel Co. has quickly become my go-to destination for delightful treats. Founded and operated by the talented Cara Carter, this charming shop is a reflection of the quality of small businesses and the power of passion. Cara started her journey seven years ago with a mission to create the best tasting fresh caramels, crafted with care and free of additives or preservatives. Her dedication to quality and her love for spreading joy through her sweets make every visit a special experience.
Why Sunshine Caramel Co. Stands Out
Here’s what makes this local caramel shop a standout choice for closing gifts and personal treats:
1. Handcrafted Excellence: Cara’s caramels are made from scratch with the highest quality ingredients, ensuring a taste that’s both rich and pure. Each piece is crafted with precision and care, resulting in a product that’s as delightful as it is delicious. (The sea salt is my favorite!)
2. Attention to Detail: As a female small business owner, Cara’s attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction shine through in every aspect of her business. She takes pride in her work, and it’s evident in the delightful flavors and beautiful presentation of her caramels.
3. Local Love: Supporting Sunshine Caramel Co. means supporting a locally owned and operated business in Mariemont. Located across from 50 West Brewing Co. on Wooster Pike, the shop is a welcoming spot to explore a variety of caramel selections. You can often find their products at local farmers markets.
Visit Sunshine Caramel Co.
If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by to browse (and smell the sweetness!). The shop is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. Whether you’re in the mood for classic flavors or something unique, Cara is ready to help you find the perfect treat. And if you’re looking for something specific that’s not in the shop, just let Cara know—she’ll be happy to make it for you!
For those who prefer online shopping or can’t make it to the shop in person, you can browse their delicious offerings and place orders through their website at Sunshine Caramel Co.

Sweetening Your New Home Journey
Incorporating a small local business into my closing gifts is a way to share a piece of our community’s sweetness and warmth with clients. It’s about more than just giving a gift—it’s about celebrating new beginnings with a touch of local charm and joy. Here’s to making every milestone a bit sweeter!
