Kim's Brownie Operations

Hello!  I'm Kim Silva, the Operations Team Leader for Fairytale Brownies.  Throughout my many years with Fairytale Brownies I have spent time working in various roles within the organization, learning along the way what it takes to make a company great, and great is what Fairytale Brownies is - from our delicious gourmet products, to our dedicated and talented staff!

It's been an awesome experience watching Fairytale Brownies grow and to be a part of it since the beginning.  I am very fortunate to be involved with such an incredible organization.  From the days of being a small start-up business where we peddled our gourmet brownies at street fairs and farmer's markets, to a now very successful mail order, retail and wholesale business with thousands of customers across the world!  In my current role I oversee the Operations for the business, which includes Production, Fulfillment, Human Resources, Service and New Product Development.

Well, it's that time of year when we have just finished the holidays and we can start looking forward to the next season at Fairytale Brownies.  We plan all year long and it seems to just come and go so fast, I can hardly believe it. We had a great 2011 holiday season - we shipped thousands of gourmet brownie, cookie and truffle gifts all over the world, so we're really looking forward to 2012. . . . which means working on new products, of course!

In 2012 we'll be working on a new line of bars,...Read More » »

This is the time of year when things are really buzzing around Fairytale Brownies, but as the holiday arrives, we typically start winding down a bit. . . . Now that we've sent Fairytale brownie and cookie gifts to recipients all over the world, we get the chance to step back and enjoy the season ourselves, basking in the joy of creating great memories for people through our fudgy chocolate brownies and delicious cookies.  All of the hard work and effort that goes into preparing for our season is...Read More » »

I absolutely love this time of year!  The rush is on and the holiday orders are rolling in for gourmet brownie gifts.  Our teams are busy, busy, busy taking orders, packing gifts and sending them off to happy chocolate lovers all around the world!

Our fudge brownies and gourmet cookies are always well received, and we have a large array of holiday gifts to choose from - check out www.brownies.com.  It's not too late to get your orders placed and have your gifts delivered just in time.  I know...Read More » »

In my family we cherish traditions, especially at the holidays.  A few years ago I started to treat guests at our traditional holiday meals to Fairytale Brownies for dessert.  We have various pies with all the fixings, but I wanted to do a spin on a fudgy chocolate pecan pie - which our family loves.  I also wanted to keep it simple since there are so many other treats to enjoy for the holidays, not to mention the prep-work and cleanup that goes along with them.  So, I took some pecan Fairytale...Read More » »

Wow, I cannot believe that the holidays are just around the corner.  It seems to have come really fast this year, quicker than previous years for some reason.  At Fairytale Brownies we are planning year round for this special time of year, and this year it has been busier than ever.

We introduced new cookies to our line, Peanut Butter and Mint Chocolate, and we are already preparing for next year's introductions, which will include a new Blondie bar line. . .  We've been very busy in the brownie...Read More » »

I realize that every State Fair boasts their food offerings, particularly the crazy deep fried selections trending over the last few years.  I guess I didn't realize how crazy it had actually become.

My husband and I recently attended the Arizona State Fair to participate in the state wine competition (my husband was the emcee, I just tagged along) and I couldn't believe the array of deep fried fare now available.  I kept thinking to myself, what about having something simple like a really...Read More » »

My niece, Sophia, recently took on the task at school of raising money for the local homeless shelter in El Paso, TX in order to support the animals living at the shelter with their families.  They hosted a bake sale at school and I thought it would be awesome for her to have something special to sell.  Immediately Fairytale Brownies and Fairytale Cookies came to mind. . .  they are such special gourmet treats, I just knew the local folks would enjoy having something unique and delicious to...Read More » »

I was talking to my husband earlier today and was mentioning some upcoming things about the holidays. . . he was somewhat taken aback and said "what are you talking about, the holidays are quite a ways off"?!  Well, I had to remind him that in my world at Fairytale Brownies, that time is NOW.  When we think of the holiday season, it's not just Christmas or December we're talking about, but everything else that happens from September through December.

We have most of our holiday teams on board and...Read More » »
