A nice stop between Leavenworth and Wenatchee.
Although it’s not the same as visiting Tiny’s when I was young, Cashmere has some cute shops and I needed to introduce a friend to Aplets and Cotlets. The ‘factory’ was a great little place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The shop was clean and bright. And there were samples of many confections! I even discovered (a favorite of our cashier) ‘raspberrylets’. Although that’s not exactly what they are called, raspberries are my favorite berry, so why not make them chewy, sweet, add some walnuts and cover them with powdered sugar. Winner! We didn’t have time for the tour but we caught a little of the action through windows in the shop. Sweet treats! Enjoy.

Local candy made by hand
We arrived about 1/2 hour before the store/factory closed. We went in and we were the only ones there to take the last tour. The factory is just behind the retail outlet and our guide was very friendly and we asked a lot of questions. The process is all done by hand and quite simple. We got to see the process from the mixing of the ingredients to the final packaging. There were about 8 people on the assembly line handling the Aplets and Cotlets from the time they were mixed and going down the assembly line until the "dough" was cut and then handled by the staff at each part of the processing. The entire process took about 20 minutes from start to finish. Even the pieces of candy were placed in the trays on the assembly line by hand just before they reach the packaging portion of the process. Aplets and Cotlets are very popular in the northwest and beyond. The retail store had so many varieties that we don't know about in our local retail outlets. I would suggest buying on line by going to their web site to see all the varieties they sell.
