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.

![Gluten-free and delicious. These blueberry scones are a favorite item at Chestnut Coffee. 🩵
I’m thankful for the opportunity to bake and pray for the Chestnut family - for the owners and their family, employees, and all who’ll eat these scones. 💜

![So thankful we were able to celebrate with our nephew and his beautiful bride last month! 🤍
Cake by the uncle of the bride 🎂
Macarons and cookies by the aunt of the groom 🍪
. . . . . . .
It’s been almost ten years since I first became a wedding vendor. It’s been three years since I started referring out to other bakers for most weddings. Baking for weddings was exciting but stressful. I learned so much during those years, and I’m thankful for that. ❤️
My favorite part of doing weddings? Praying for the couples and their families. Praying for their marriages. Watching their families grow. 🧡
Thank you for letting me bake and pray for you. I hope you enjoy picking up Baking Sweet Scents pastries around town these days! 🩵

![Which scone is your favorite? There are lots of yummy options! I’m deeply grateful that you can get these scones (and my other treats) any day of the week from my wholesale clients. Thanks for shopping small! Thanks for supporting me through them! 🩵
Change is hard even when it’s good. I guess it’s bittersweet. That’s how I feel about saying no to retail orders. My heart wants to always say yes. My head says I can’t. My hands and schedule show me this truth. Each week, I’m reminded that God is in control. He continues to lead me - in business, in life. 💜
Happy February! How can I pray for you? Thanks for praying for me. 💛🧡❤️

![What’s your favorite thing you bake? Cinnamon rolls. I especially like the little ones in pans for Christmas (or anytime really). But the big ones for the coffee shops are a close second. 🩵
I try to keep them in stock at Crossroads 4 Coffee and Tea, Anthem Coffee, and VitaNova Coffee and Tea. If you haven’t tried one, please do! What if you get a few to go for this weekend? ❄️
Baking tips:
1. Let the dough rise. Be patient.
2. Pray over them. Pray for the people who will enjoy them.
3. Enjoy!

![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. 💛🧡❤️
