I'm Alyssa Andrews and work in the Marketing Department at Fairytale Brownies. My official title is Sales and PR. In addition to the obvious, I am Co-Founder Eileen Spitalny's assistant, I research new Fairytale products, coordinate donations, and maintain our KaBOOM! partnership.

I have a journalism background so I'm naturally "nosy." I make it a point to know as much as I can about all things Fairytale Brownies, so if you have any questions, just ask!

For the past week and a half, our marketing department has been working with Rick Gayle Studio preparing photos for Fairytale Brownies fall and winter catalogues.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I visited the studio, they were shooting the new Wish box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An elegant option for Fairytale Brownies customers to customize with a company logo, the Wish box is lined with a rich brown paper on the outside and deep purple on the inside.

 

And then it's filled with gourmet brownies or chewy cookies or bars!

In this...

Whenever there is a tragedy or disaster, our natural instinct is to help out. Our friend Kiley from Cherry Blossoms {the blog} is sponsoring a silent auction for her husband's cousin, whose house was destroyed by the tornado that blew through Moore, Okla., this week. A Fairytale Brownies Regal Tower loaded with fudge brownies is one of the items up for auction.

"I may be adding a few more items over the next few days, but I am absolutely astounded by the donations for the auction that were given...

For those who haven't discovered Pinterest, you're missing out. The content sharing service is as addicting as a fudgy brownie from Fairytale Brownies.

Pinterest is the site where people "pin" images or videos onto a board organized by topic. Whatever your interest, you can create a board to chronicle it. I am the pinner for Fairytale Brownies' Pinterest boards and I think I like Fairytale's boards better than my own!

Some of the topics we pin include: Recipes, Enchantment, The Magic of Purple,...

Whenever there is an event in my life, I always try to incorporate gourmet brownies from Fairytale into the mix. Last weekend was no exception. The women's ministry at my church held an Afternoon Tea and I made some fancy little fudge brownie treats for dessert.

Actually, they looked fancy, but they were easy to make.

I used 12 Fairytale Brownies Chocolate Chip Brownies and cut them into fours.

Then I mixed the following:

2 8 oz. packages of Cream Cheese, softened

1 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple,...

April 15 is quickly approaching. Have you filed your taxes?

If you're like me, you wait until the last possible minute and then rely on a talented tax accountant to make sense of the chaos.

My taxes are complete and filed. All that's left to do is thank my accountant with gourmet brownies from Fairytale Brownies. Yes, I paid him for his services already. But sending brownies will be a surprise that I'm sure he'll love receiving - especially since this last two weeks before deadline will most...

No one knows the exact origin of April Fool's Day. Some say it's a celebration of Spring and a reason to be lighthearted. Others say April 1 was the celebration of New Year's Day prior to the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar. Whatever its history, April Fool's Day is a day to play silly, foolish tricks on anyone and everyone.

Our Fairytale Brownie is somewhat of a jokester, so I asked him what kinds of tricks he would play if he was allowed to do so. This is what he said:

1. To my cousin who...

Two years ago, Fairytale Brownies team members, along with 200 other community volunteers, built a playground for the students attending Children First Academy of Tempe. It took us 10 months to raise $80,000 and just one day provide a safe place for them to play.

We felt such joy when the playground was complete! Knowing that the children came from homeless and underprivileged homes made our accomplishment even sweeter.

On Wednesday, March 20, Arizonans will have the opportunity to give to their...
