It's a busy time of year
here at
Fairytale Brownies! I can't believe September
is more than half over. Our Autumn catalogs are officially in
customers' hands, full of
new gourmet brownie and cookie gifts for the
holidays, and the halls of the Fairytale Bakery are full of new
faces here to help us with the holiday rush to send brownies and
have cookies delivered worldwide.
The marketing team has been buried with work lately, but we are
slowly digging out. Erin has returned from her maternity...

Friday is going to be a bittersweet day
for our family. After four months at a great daycare, we are taking
our daughter out to save some money and get her more individual
attention by sharing a nanny with friends (
Fairytale Brownies graphic designer Erin, who is
returning from maternity leave Monday). While the savings and
2-to-1 baby to caregiver ratio will be great for our daughter Kat,
we have loved the daycare she is attending. I know we've made the
right decision for our family, but it was...

My husband and I are
heading out on our first road trip with our 6.5 month old daughter
on Thursday. We'll be driving at least 7 hours to California to
visit friends for the long weekend, and for us, road trips mean
snacks. Our staples are beef jerky, fruit and, of course, fudgy
chocolate brownies. I've been working here at
Fairytale Brownies for 5
years, so our Belgian chocolate brownies have become a frequent
snack. We especially like to take
Magic Morsels mini brownies on the road with
us, as...

A good friend of mine back
in Indiana is having a rough week, and after talking to her this
morning, I decided she could use a pick-me-up surprise.
I decided there could be no better
thinking of you gift than a box of Belgian
chocolate brownies and cookies delivered to her doorstep.
So I'm sending her a
Thinking of You Cookie & Sprite Combo to
help raise her spirits while she navigates a difficult time in her
life. An indulgent treat can go a long way when you're feeling
down, and I hope these...

This
post could have an alternate title: Why I always keep fudgy
chocolate brownies in my freezer. I have always been a dessert
eater, which really is why I applied for this job at
Fairytale Brownies5 years ago. I attribute my love of dessert to my grandmother, who
always had some kind of dessert for lunch and dinner, whether it
was a cookie, cake, brownie or berries and cream. While I no longer
eat dessert all the time, I do occasionally want a little treat
after dinner. Sunday night, after...

Well, the holidays are officially upon us here at
Fairytale
Brownies. Yes, I know it's only August 2, but for us, that
marks the beginning of our busy season of sending
mail
order brownies and gourmet cookies to homes and businesses
worldwide. We have extra brownie bakers starting this month, more
shipping team members coming in September, and a lot of extra
customer service reps sometime after that. Right now we have about
35 employees making the best brownies in the world, but by the
middle of...

One
of my favorite things I do here at
Fairytale Browniesis quality control. This means that one day a week, I get to go
downstairs and sample that day's Belgian chocolate brownies and
gourmet cookies to make sure they are the best brownies and cookies
we can make. Thanks to our amazing baking team, there is rarely a
problem with any of our treats, but someone still tastes brownies
every day to make sure that every time you send brownies, they meet
our very high quality standards. Yesterday was...

We
seem to be having a bit of a baby boom here at
Fairytale
Brownies. My little girl Katharine is 5 months old, our graphic
designer Erin's son James is 2 weeks old (that's him in the picture
with Eileen's daughter Bebe, who just happened to be here when he
came to visit last week - so cute!), and two members of our baking
and shipping teams are expecting their own bundles of joy before
the year ends.
Of the many things I've learned so far about being a working (and
nursing) mom, it's that...

My
mother-in-law is coming to town this weekend to meet our
4.5-month-old little "
morsel," Kat, and to join us for an
Independence Day BBQ. Now I don't know about you, but in our
family, no BBQ is complete without fudgy chocolate brownies for
everyone. Fortunately for my mother-in-law, who is diabetic, she
doesn't have to miss out on the gourmet brownie goodness, because
Sugar-Free Magic Morsels are the best brownies
for her - all the Fairytale Belgian chocolate brownie flavor, and
none of the...

Today is my Fairytale-iversary! :)
That's right, I've been on the marketing team at
Fairytale Brownies
developing and selling gourmet brownie gifts for five years now. I
cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. So, this morning I'm
thinking about all that has transpired since I first walked into
the
Fairytale Bakery in 2006. The picture at left is from
a trade show I attended just a couple of months after I
started working here.
When I started, our
current building was under construction,...
