favors, change of date + special guest

Posted by Jenna on October 23rd, 2009 | Category: cookies, marshmallows, the biz

I haven’t talked business in a while, but we still make cookies, remember? Here are some recent party and wedding favors we did. We still have a few more Fall and Winter favor orders to go but all in all it was an excellent first official wedding season for us.

So we’re flipping dates on the Flea this weekend, not necessarily because of the crappy forecast tomorrow, but because there is a certain guest as the Brownstoner guys are calling her - “She Who Must Not Be Named” - who will be visiting the Flea this Sunday in Dumbo instead of Saturday to shoot some footage for her show. Can you guess who it is?

It sounds like either Martha Stewart or Glenn Close’s Cruella de Ville character to me. (Some friends and I were just talking about that movie last night, so that’s why it popped to mind.)

The deep violet/purple tags go particularly well with the chocolate/maple cardamon marshmallows.

Ahaha ’she who must not be named’. Sorry but Harry Potter was the first thing that came to mind. I jumped on the HP train really really late (after grumbling for years why people made such a fuss over HP) + of course it’s a HE who must not be named in the book but um this made me laugh.

I have nooooo idea who it is.

Wait, wait…what are those yummy looking chocolate things in the bottom picture?
Look, it’s all good with SWMNBN…until you make her angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry. PS No stock tips from her either!

Jenna, How do you have ALL those beautiful labels?? I know you design them, but isn’t it an absolute bear getting labels printed all the time. They are expensive unless you do a very large run, right??

mindy, I print them at home. And actually, the bottom 2 were ones that the client provided to us and sent to be assembled. The earl grey cookie labels were done by my friend http://www.perideaudesigns.com/ who was celebrating her daughter’s birthday and the bottom round ones were ordered on a wedding site.
