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 » »
One day last week I drove into our cul de sac and saw some mail lying in the middle of the street - I think with all the dust storms we've had recently it must have blown out of a mailbox, it was somewhat weathered. I picked it up and saw that it belonged to our neighbors, so I proceeded to their front door to deliver their mail. Upon delivery, my neighbor (who I don't know very well) started to ask if I was the one who worked at Fairytale Brownies. . . . . I answered proudly, "yep,...

summer break from Texas for about a week. While in Phoenix
the kids were lucky enough to visit me at work for my birthday. . .
what kid wouldn't enjoy a personal, behind the scenes tour of
Fairytale Brownies?!
I sometimes forget how special a tour of a chocolate factory can be, so it was exciting for me to show them the different processes in making gourmet Belgian chocolate brownies, cookies and truffles. They also learned about making...Read More » »

Recently,
the ALS Association Arizona Chapter and the Spark Hope
Foundation hosted their annual Bite Nite Fundraiser www.bitenite.org. This
particular charity holds a special place in my heart because my
mother-in-law, Mary, was diagnosed with ALS a few years
ago. She struggles each and everyday to live life to the
fullest, an admirable feat considering ALS is so extremely
debilitating. Mary had the honor of co-chairing
this year's event and was in charge of sourcing various donations
for the...
Last evening
me and Eileen Spitalny (co-owner of Fairytale Brownies) were
invited to attend the grand opening of chef Aaron
May's Copper Blues in downtown Phoenix at CityScape. Copper
Blues serves over 50 craft beers on tap, along with
a wide array of American style "tapas." In
conjunction with the grand opening was a hilarious comedy
show at StandUp Live, which is connected to Copper Blues.
Pablo Francisco was the star comedian who did some great
impressions and had everyone roaring with...Read More » »My nephew recently graduated from high school and we were at a loss
for what to send for the big celebration. We were not able to
attend in person, but decided we wanted to share something from
Arizona that would be unique and yummy. . . . Fairytale
Brownies, of course!
Along with a small donation towards his college fund (and I mean
really small), we sent a

Mexico to undergo a bone marrow transplant. She is a two
time breast cancer survivor and recently found out she has
Leukemia. She arrived in the Valley a few weeks before her
treatments were to begin so she could get settled in, and we had
the privilege of spending some quality time with her.
The one thing she requested before beginning her treatments were
Fairytale
Brownies. Our fudgy chocolate
brownies are one of her all-time favorite...
I am happy to say that my brother-in-law, Steven, has just
returned from duty in Korea and will coming by to visit us on
his way to Ft Hood, TX. What better way to greet him than
with a big box of gourmet chocolate
brownies!
I actually just realized that I never sent any of our Belgian chocolate brownies to him while he was away and I could just kick myself. Especially since Fairytale Brownies ships FREE to all APO/FPO military addresses, they make perfect soldier care packages. Here's a...Read More » »

I
often forget that Spring Training is such a big deal around here at
this time of year, until I leave work to go out for lunch or at the
end of the day when I'm headed home. You
see, the Fairytale Brownies
bakery is right around the corner from Tempe Diablo Stadium, so
we have hundreds and hundreds of Spring Training attendees
from all over the country passing right by our bakery.Our delectable gourmet brownies and scrumptious cookies make the perfect snack to take to the game, but we also...Read More » »
