1. What this site is
Swirl & Crumb is an independent editorial project: essays, illustrations and craft notes about classic confectionery. It is a publication, not a shop. No products are sold here, no orders are taken, and no payment details are ever requested through these pages.
2. Using the pages
You are welcome to read, print and share links to anything published here. Please:
- quote briefly with a credit to Swirl & Crumb;
- link to the original page rather than copying whole articles;
- ask before reproducing our illustrations commercially.
Write to swirlandcrumb.desk@gmail.com and we will answer honestly, usually within a couple of working days.
3. Illustrations and text
The artwork on this site was drawn specifically for it and is original to the journal. Article text, page structure and the wordmark are likewise ours. Trademarks and brand names that appear in the course of commentary belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and discussion only.
4. Accuracy and enthusiasm
We check our history and our candy craft carefully, but our pages are written in the spirit of a friendly magazine. If something is inaccurate, tell us and we will correct it in public with a note of thanks.
5. The interactive features
The tasting bench, the kettle ledger and the storage memo all run in your own browser. They are there to entertain and to help you plan a home craft afternoon. Values shown in the kettle ledger are pacing guides, not a manufacturing formula.
6. Availability
The journal is maintained by a small desk and is offered as it is. Pages may be revised, moved or retired without notice. We try to keep the archive tidy and the links honest.
7. Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swirl & Crumb is not liable for losses arising from use of these pages or from any craft project attempted after reading them. Nothing here overrides rights you have under the law in your home jurisdiction.
8. Governing law
These conditions are written under the laws of the State of Georgia, in the United States, where our desk is based.
9. Changes
If these conditions change, the new version appears on this page and the date above changes with it.
