That's exactly how my story with strawberry of love.
It all started on a Saturday afternoon, when I decided to visit a little market near my house.

Amidst the scents of popcorn, pastries, and cotton candy, there it was: a skewer of strawberries covered in a bright red shell. I instantly knew there was something more. And there was.

What seemed like just a nostalgic sweet turned into, without exaggeration, a delicious source of income.

What is the strawberry of love and why is it so popular?

The strawberry of love is a modern and refined version of the candy apple. But, let's be honest, it's much tastier and easier to eat.

Made with fresh strawberries, skewered on wooden sticks and covered with a layer of caramelized sugar (that reddish color that shines like glass), it has become a favorite at fairs, children's parties, weddings and even gourmet deliveries.

The secret to its success? It's beautiful, romantic, nostalgic, and delicious. It's all combined and still inexpensive to make. Perfect for those who want to start selling sweets but don't know where to start yet.

How I started selling love strawberries (and it was very successful)

It all started without any pretensions. I made the first ones just to give as a birthday present to my niece. I decorated them with cellophane paper and red ribbons.

Everyone was talking about it. Some people contacted me on WhatsApp the next day asking if I could make them to order.

That's when it hit me: there was an opportunity there. I started testing, calculating costs, posting on Instagram and in neighborhood groups.

It didn't take long for the first sales to come in. In less than three weeks, I had already made over R$1,400 from weekend orders alone.

Complete recipe for strawberry love (simple, tested and approved)

Ingredients:

• 1 box of strawberries (preferably large and firm)
• 2 cups of sugar
• ½ cup of water
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• Red food coloring (optional, but adds charm)
• Wooden sticks (barbecue type)

Preparation method:

1. Wash the strawberries well and pat dry with paper towels. They need to be completely dry for the syrup to set properly.
2. Carefully thread the strawberries onto the toothpicks. Set aside.
3. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, vinegar, and food coloring. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat.
4. Let it boil without stirring until it reaches the hard candy stage (approximately 145°C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a little of the syrup into a glass of water. If it hardens immediately, it's ready.
5. Dip the strawberries one by one into the syrup, swirling them around to coat everything.
6. Let it drain on parchment paper or a greased surface. Let it dry, and you're done!

Extra tip: You can vary it by adding chocolate sprinkles on top before the syrup hardens, or use pink or blue food coloring to create custom versions.

How to make a profit selling strawberries of love

So, if you're thinking about turning this delicious treat into income, here are some practical tips based on my experience:

1. Low cost, high margin

Each strawberry costs, on average, R$ 0.70 to R$ 1.00 (including the stick, syrup, and packaging). It can be sold between R$ 3 and R$ 5 per unit, depending on the region and presentation.

2. Sale by themed kits

Create kits with 4, 6 or 10 units for special occasions: Valentine's Day, birthdays, children's parties, baby showers...
Place them in pretty boxes with bows, cards, and personalized labels.

3. Invest in delivery and social media

A good photo works wonders. Use light backgrounds, invest in good lighting, and put a lot of effort into your presentation.
Share it on stories, TikTok, sales groups, Instagram, and even your family's WhatsApp.

4. Partnerships with stores or parties

Offer them to bakeries, caterers, or even that cousin who throws gender reveal parties. You make the strawberries, they resell them. Profit guaranteed.
