Ship Brownies

I know the topic of our blog is mail order brownie gifts and cookies delivered, but I couldn't help but share this image and blog post from our friends at KaBOOM! As you probably know, Fairytale Brownies has been a big supporter of KaBOOM! for over 10 years now, and we helped fund and build a playground here in Tempe, AZ last year. 

The sad thing about school playgrounds is that many are never open to the public. There is one in my neighborhood just on the other side of the fence from a public...

This week, our customer story comes from Jody Ulich, President of Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, in Texas:

"In the early '90's I was working at the Phoenix Arts Commission in the public art program. Eileen Spitalny, who was with Univision at the time, came into the office to visit with the staff. She let us all know that she and her good friend, David, were throwing caution to the wind and were going to start a business selling brownies. BROWNIES! We wished her much luck!

Our fudge brownie bakers have been busy in the kitchen testing our "secret" new product for Fall 2012, and we're getting very close, so I wanted to give a sneak peek at what's coming soon to a mail order brownie gift box near you! Here are two samples on my desk as I type of the next new treats from Fairytale Brownies. These delicious little guys (and two other sweet flavors) will be joining our gourmet brownies and cookies beginning this September. Can you guess what they are?

I spent some time playing with our camera in the Fairytale Brownies kitchen this week, and got a few good shots of our baking team busily handcrafting gourmet brownies and cookies. I thought I would share with you all how our mail order brownies are made before they get packed into boxes and the brownies and cookies are delivered to your door! 

Here is some Belgian chocolate brownie batter being carefully weighed as it is poured onto a baking sheet.

Sometimes our customers' stories read like a fairytale. This week we hear from Vicki Stouffer:

"Once upon a time, a woman (me) met a man who she thought could be "the one." He was intelligent, good looking and courteous, and there was an instant connection. I wanted to express how I felt about him at a certain point in our relationship, and it had to be the perfect gift to make that important statement.

I had gotten to know Eileen Spitalny and Fairytale Brownies, which are still one of my...

Comments about Fairytale Brownies Birthday Surprise: I sent this overseas to my boyfriend for his birthday (btw, so thankful for free APO shipping!). I quickly received a "THANK YOU" (yes in all caps) email. He said they were the best brownies he has ever had! He luckily hid a few for himself since his crew found the box in his office and the...

Comments about Fairytale Brownies 8-Sprite Favor Choose Your Own: We wanted to send a care package to our son who just started college and recalled those days my mom (with all good intentions) would bake cookies for me while I was in school and send through the mail. They would arrive crumbled and usually stale. We received a huge family...

It's hard to believe the Lenten season is here already, and I know many of you who celebrate Easter have given up various "vices" for 40 days. It seems some of the most common of these vices is sweets, chocolate or dessert, all of which eliminate our chewy cookies and fudgy chocolate brownies from a person's diet. Now, I would never choose to give up things like chocolate or gourmet chocolate brownies for many reasons. A big reason is that part of my job is quality control tasting, which I can't...

In October of this year Fairytale Brownies will be celebrating our 20th year. We're preparing for this celebration all year long, and both Eileen and myself (co-founders) will be contributing a monthly blog post including some stories and memories from our early years baking and selling gourmet brownies.

This month I was thinking about our original logo. I dug through my files and found the old postcard that was the inspiration for the logo (see below). We knew that a brownie, in addition to...
