About

This Is How We Do It
Meet Christine Wiethop,
Owner & Baker

I served as a teacher for nineteen years before taking the leap of faith to become a full-time business owner. I’m grateful for the way the Lord has provided in every way and guided my steps.
Over the years, I've created, tested, and tweaked many recipes. I’m grateful for all of my taste-testers, past and present, but especially for my husband Josh, my primary taste tester.
Baking connects me to those around me and enables me to give of myself. I pray while baking, which gives me peace. If you’ve ever eaten my treats or read my social media posts, I’ve prayed for you. Feel free to reach out and ask me to pray for you in a special way. Thank you for being here, and thank you for letting me bake and pray for you.

![It’s time to say goodbye to doing all the things. It’s almost 2026!
This was a very full year - full of highs and lows and lots of emotions. I’m grateful for God’s steadfast love and mercy. 💜
It’s been ten years of allll the things. From cupcakes to cakes, pies to toffee and bark, cookies and macarons to flan, turnovers, scones, cinnamon rolls, what else? I’ve had fun learning and making all of these, but the last few weeks since deciding to focus on my wholesale clients have brought peace. I’m enjoying the slowdown, and I’m hopeful that rest will bring healing. 🤍
I’ll refer you to other baker friends for cakes and such, but you can pick up cinnamon rolls, scones, macarons, flan, and turnovers from my wholesale clients. Check out their social media pages or my website to find them. There’s also a highlight for each of them here on instagram. 🩵
Thank you for being here for all the turns in my path. 💛🧡❤️

![It’s almost the end of 2025, and I’m grateful for the clarity the Lord has given me lately. He continues to guide my steps in business and in life. 💜
I don’t know where He’s taking the business long term, but I’m thankful for this time to focus on my wholesale clients - the coffee shops and Asian market. Please continue to shop small. It makes a difference! 🤍
If you haven’t visited my website in awhile, please check it out. My friend Joan @junctioncreativestudio did a beautiful job with it! Check out all the places you can find Baking Sweet Scents treats. 🩵
As always, thank you for letting me bake and pray for you. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement, too! 💛🧡❤️

![Hi friend! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Happy small business Saturday! Thank you for shopping small! 🩵
I’m grateful for so much! Family, friends, answered prayers, clarity…I’ve been thinking and praying a lot lately. No surprise there, but this may surprise you: I’ve decided that I’ll focus on my wholesale clients exclusively in order to make time for self-care. What does that mean? It means I will refer out to other vendors for retail orders like cakes and other treats. As honored as I feel to make these special orders, I’ve realized that I need to rest more so that my body can heal. If you’ve been here awhile, you know that I started this journey to health four years ago. I’m pretty stubborn, so it’s taken one step at a time to get here, and I have a long way to go. Thank you for your continued prayers. They mean so much to me. 💛🧡❤️
I’m still praying for you as I bake and pray for my wholesale clients. I pray for these businesses, the families that own them, the people who will enjoy the treats, and you. Please keep sending me your prayer requests. God sees and loves you. 💜

![Happy and blessed weekend! 🙌🎉🧡
There’s a new place in town to find my scones. @vitanova_coffee_tea isn’t new, but they just opened a brick and mortar at 511 Conestee Road, across from Conestee Preserve and right off the Swamp Rabbit Trail. So yes, it’s a great destination point on your bike! 🤍
The grand opening will be after Thanksgiving, but you can stop by to get your coffee or @marabetteandco tea as early as 6 AM most mornings. The shop is super cute! Stop by and see for yourself. Also, see what you think of the new scone flavors! Thanks for shopping small. You matter! 🩵
As always, thank you for letting me bake and pray for you. DM me with your prayer requests. 💛🧡❤️

I’m booked through the end of the year. If you need something special for Thanksgiving (or Christmas), hurry and place your order with @themadbatterbakerysc. You can get all of the usual pastries at all of the usual spots through the week. Thanks for all of your support and for shopping small! 🩵
As always, let me know how I can pray for you. Remember God is in control. 💛🧡❤️
