Marlow Gates is a broom maker who teaches frequently at the Folk School. One of the things he’s known for is designing the brooms for The Harry Potter Theme Park. Another thing he’s known for are his cake testers. Maybe because he has a special offer for anyone who buys one.

Marlow says,  “When you’ve used it up, send me a slice a cake and I’ll send you another one.”

Hayesville resident, Earlene, did more than that when she used up her cake tester, she sent Marlow a cake. Not just any cake, but her Special Rum Cake.

And what did Marlow do?

He sat down and started making a cobweb broom.

He even got Earlene to help him.

Marlowe gets the cake. Earlene gets the cobweb broom.

And what do you get?

If you come into the Craft Shop and buy one of Marlow’s cake testers, We’ll give you Earlene’s Special Rum Cake Recipe. We would give you some of her cake, but it’s all gone!

Or, you may want to see more of Marlow’s brooms,

Hope to see you soon at The John C. Campbell Craft Shop!

Earlene’s Recipe Offer Ends Mar. 1 2013
