A little bit of history

Great Cakes Soapworks logoIt was the end of 2004, and I had been doing business as Amy’s Handmade Soap for about a year.  I decided that it was time to have a business name that would reflect my faith in God.  After consulting some of my closest friends, the choices had been narrowed to three: Luscious Latherings, Something Soapy, or Great Cakes Soapworks.  On December 30, 2004, I woke up at 5:30am and it was as if God said, “A great cake of soap can cleanse your body, but only a great God can cleanse your soul.”  Some of you know that I use I John 1:9 as the Scripture to back this up.  It says: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  At that moment it became very clear which name I was to use, and it has been Great Cakes Soapworks ever since.  (And I might add this was already my favorite of the three!)
