Fairytale Brownies Returns To Fancy Food Show With Expanded Line

Thursday, January 14, 2010 by Hilary Lee
Fairytale Brownies will return to San Francisco for the NASFT's 35th Winter Fancy Food Show with products for foodservice, retailers and catalogers. Fairytale Brownies will display and sample the wholesale brownie and truffle flavors at the Fancy Food Show from January 17th - 9th at Booth #1364 in the North Hall of the Moscone Center.

"We're listening to the particular needs of foodservice providers and retail outlets," Eileen Spitaly, Fairytale Brownies co-founder said. "Our goal is to simplify dessert preparation while preserving the integrity of our gourmet brand." Our new Fairytale Half-Sheets arrive ready to serve and can be cut to a preferred size or shape as needed. The Fairytale Half-Sheets (4 lbs.) are baked in Original, Chocolate Chip and Walnut flavors and are sold by the case (5/4 lb.).

New retail ready packaging for Fairytale's individually wrapped brownies is being introduced at the show. Brownies, Sprites or Magic Morsels now will arrive in a 4-color display box with a pop-up lid for maximum consumer visibility. "These boxes should work very well in the frozen section as an entire unit for sale because they are shrink wrapped," Spitalny said.

Other Fairytale Brownie products available for wholesale include a 1 lb. Brownie Tray (Original and Walnut flavors), 2 lb. Occasion Walnut Tray, Fairytale Truffles (Original, Caramel, Raspberry Swirl, Walnut and Candy Cane flavors), Special Occasion Assortments, Fairytale Sprites and Magic Morsels.

The 3" x 3" individually wrapped brownies and 1 lb. brownie trays are currently sold at all AJ's Fine Foods and Whole Foods grocers in Arizona, as well as Gelson's Markets in Southern California and other gourmet retailers. Fairytale Brownies also are ideal for gift basket companies who work with perishable items because each brownie is individually wrapped. See a list of all retail locations here.

Fairytale offers a great drop-ship program for catalog companies, floral shops and other online retailers. We ship UPS worldwide, and USPS to P.O. Boxes and APO/FPO addresses.

Fairytale Brownies began its successful mail order brownie business in 1992. Fairytale Brownies are baked with imported Callebaut Belgian dark chocolate and other natural ingredients and all brownies are Certified Kosher.

Fairytale Brownies Review! Yum Yum!

Thursday, December 31, 2009 by Customer Brownie Stories
I have to tell you about some wonderful gourmet brownies we received around Christmas! These are top on the list for my family. They are Fairytale Brownies. To begin with, they come in a lovely holiday box and each brownie is individually packaged for presentation and freshness. We received an assorted box and it came with the following flavors: Pecan, Peanut Butter, Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Original and White Chocolate. I can say I sampled every one of them except the White Chocolate, which my daughter devoured Christmas morning, and they are simply ...aahhhhh, delicious! My favorite was the Caramel, but all of them are super. These taste like they were fresh and cooked just for us. My granddaughter summer Leigh Anne enjoyed half of one and as you can see that was not enough. The chocolate on the mouth gives her away as she is trying to get more! Which she did! Grandson Kolby quickly took his and moved to the corner of the couch, he got comfortable and enjoyed the Pecan brownie. Looks like he liked it! What do you think? Now I would like to add. I do not typically have lots of sweets lying around but these are not really sweet. You can enjoy these and not feel like you have cheated yourself. These almost taste like, naturally sweet, not a lot of added nonsense. These brownies can be ordered online and they will quickly arrive. So easy!! They ship any gift for only $6.95 per address and Delivery in 3 business days guaranteed! The only negative thing I could say is that the Peanut Butter one fell apart easily into several pieces. It was soft and crumbly and they are a little pricey, around $3 each but for gourmet brownies they are reasonable. So do I recommend these?? YES! I will be ordering again and this time will try and get a few extras for other family members. Yes these are definitely for sharing. For birthdays, holidays, or maybe a special thank you food gift. I did not receive anything free for this review, and is my honest opinion of this product. Have a blessed and safe new year! Betty

The out-of-towners are getting brownie gifts for Christmas

Tuesday, December 8, 2009 by Alyssa Andrews
I just finished placing my Christmas food gift order and I hope I didn't forget anyone! All of my relatives back East are getting fudge brownies from Fairytale Brownies.

No surprise really. I used to switch food gift companies each year. One year Aunt Pat received muffins, the next year she received cookies. But once I ordered Fairytale Brownies online four years ago, shipped brownies are just expected.
Now I switch gifts within the Fairytale Brownies family - one year they get brownies, another year they get Sprites.

This year, some of them are receiving Candy Cane Truffles. Our truffles are bite-sized mint brownies covered in 60% dark chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candy canes. I fondly refer to them as "little bundles of joyful essence" because my tastebuds dance a happy dance when I eat them!

Other relatives are receiving our Winter Sprite Wonderland. This gift includes an assortment of 16 Sprites (3" x 1 1.2" brownies) packed in a wintry blue snowflake gift box.

The brownies are delicious, of course, so I know they will love this gift, too.

You can ship brownies to your loved ones in time for the holidays as well. Order online at www.brownies.com or call 800.FAIRYTALE.

All of this talking about shopping made me hungry so I'm going to take a brownie break now.

New Holiday Tradition

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 by Customer Brownie Stories
We first had your brownies last Thanksgiving. There was a huge basket at my brother's house that by the end of the day was completely gone. I heard people were hidinh them throughout the day. Now, they have become a family favorite and a new holiday tradition.

Bring your... Rikki to work day!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by Brandie Davenport
Last week our Corporate Sales Assistant, Kristie (who also happens to be my sister) was told by my nephew Joe that she needed to bring his stuffed animal who he calls Rikki to work with her. Rikki is actually an otter but my nephew is convinced that he is a mongoose like on the old cartoon Rikki Tikki Tavi. I know this is very silly but I wanted to share some of the adventures that Rikki went on at the Fairytale Bakery!

Rikki started off his morning by helping to greet customers in the retail store. While he was in the retail store he took a little break to look through the viewing window to see the bakers baking our delicious gourmet brownies. For a little while Rikki went missing but we found him cozied up with all the blondie bunnies!
 

Rikki then made his way to the warehouse to help our shipping team ship brownies. Rikki packed his very own Christmas food gift! Rikki wanted to know what it was like to be real tall so he got to sit in one of the bins. Then it was time to head upstairs.
  

First Rikki helped make some copies. Then he helped customer service by taking a couple of phone orders. He also helped do some marketing research. He liked sitting on Alyssa's ball!
  

Next it was time for a meeting. Erin, me and Kari needed some of Rikki's input on a project we were working on.
           
 
Rikki went and helped accounting for a little while. Well, he wasn't much help when he found this cool toy they have down there. Then he stopped to salute "Our Soldiers". Finally Rikki's day was coming to an end. He had a very busy day so he finished it off by sitting in one of our massage chairs in our quiet room.
      

Thank you Rikki for all your help in making the world a sweeter place, one Fairytale Brownie at a time!

Nothing expresses your heartfelt sentiments better than a dozen of Fairytale Brownies delectable gourmet brownies!

"I love these brownies! My family has received them for the holidays a few times and they are always gone! They are a great alternative to flowers, especially because you can eat them! Fairytale Brownies are actually so delicious!"

"I am always looking for creative treats to send as gifts for Birthdays, Halloween and Christmas. I can't wait to hear from my out-of-state family and friends about this year's gift selection!"

Meet Fairytale's Nissa at Scottsdale Fashion Square

Thursday, October 15, 2009 by Alyssa Andrews
Scottsdale Fashion Square is opening a new wing this week and Fairytale Brownies is part of the celebration.

Visit the east wing and you'll see the results from "The Mannequin is Our Muse" design project. Scattered throughout the wing are 125 mannequins dressed in the latest fashion as interpreted by the designer.

Nissa, Fairytale's mannequin whose name means "friendly fairy," will greet you near the piano at the entrance to Barneys.

Nissa was designed by Marie-jose Poulet, a Fairytale friend and studio director at Thinking Caps. She previously designed clothing in Belgium.


Nissa is wearing Fairytale Brownies gift packaging: purple Magic Morsel wrappers form her strapless bodice; brown tissue with a clear cellophane overlay complete her skirt; and a purple satin ribbon creates a sash. Nissa's hem combines brown and purple tissue for a detailed effect. Stretch bows usually wrap Fairytale's fudgy brownie gifts, but we discovered another use for them while dressing Nissa. Several strands adorn her wrist to create a distinctive silver bracelet. Nissa holds a Fairytale Brownies gift box to remind everyone that gourmet brownies make a perfect food gift.

Although her sandals aren't made from Fairytale packaging, Nissa looks hot in her silver heels! Check Nissa out through Sunday at Scottsdale Fashion Square.

A Fairytale Birthday

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by Brandie Davenport
Today the Marketing Team at Fairytale Brownies went out to lunch to celebrate my birthday which is on Saturday the 17th and Eileen's birthday which is today! We went to The Farm at South Mountain and ate at their Farm Kitchen restaurant. I had never been there before but have always wanted to try it. It was such a lovely experience. We ordered our lunch, that they serve in these cute baskets and took it out to one of their picnic benches. It was a little warm in the sun but the pecan trees offered a lot of shade. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend it! The best part is that it's close enough for you to swing by the Fairytale Bakery afterward for gourmet brownies for dessert!

Sweetest Day is October 17th!

Thursday, October 8, 2009 by Hilary Lee
Honestly, I had no idea what Sweetest Day was until I did some research on it. I thought it was along the same lines as Valentine's Day, but I still wanted to know the origins of the holiday and why we celebrate it! Here is what I found: 
  • During America's Great Depression, a man from Cleveland organized many people in an effort to provide a small token of friendship to the underprivileged, orphans, and homeless. Today the holiday has expanded to include small tokens of appreciation to friends and neighbors too. These tokens of appreciation can be small gifts or small acts of kindness. The holiday is held on the 3rd Saturday in October. (http://www.holidayorigins.com/html/sweetest_day.html
  • The origin of Sweetest Day is attributed to candy company employee as an act of philanthropy. However, a reporter contends that "Dozens of Cleveland's top candy makers concocted the promotion 84 years ago and it stuck." A Sweetest Day Committee distributed over 20,000 boxes of candy to "newsboys, orphans, old folks, and the poor" in Cleveland, Ohio. The Sweetest Day Committee was assisted in the distribution of candy by some of the biggest movie stars of the day. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetest_Day)
Today, Sweetest Day now largely involves giving small presents such as cards, sweets and flowers to loved ones. While it is not as largely observed as Valentine's Day, it is still celebrated in the United States. If you are celebrating Sweetest Day this year with your family, friends or loved ones, consider sending gourmet brownies! Chocolate brownies are the epitome of Sweetest Day in my opinion, so why not try them? Order brownies online at brownies.com or call 800.324.7982 for Fairytale Brownies 24-hour customer service line. 
   



Happy October!

Thursday, October 1, 2009 by Brandie Davenport
 Of course the well known Holiday in October is Halloween. As usual though I like to look up the bizarre, crazy, silly and unknown holidays. There are a lot in October that I thought were very interesting!

October is National Bake and Decorate Month - Let Fairytale Brownies do the baking and you can do the decorating! Last Sunday for a football party I took 12 chocolate chip brownies, put them in a pan and frosted them with green cream cheese frosting. Then I decorated them like a football field. Just when I thought our delicious fudge brownies couldn't get any better!
October is National Caramel Month - Well, this is an easy one! With our caramel brownies I certainly can't think of a better way to celebrate! One a day might be a little much but at least one gooey caramel brownie a week would be okay!

October 5th - 11th is Customer Service Week - Have you ever received fantastic customer service? I know I have! There are places I will go out of my to because I know the service will be great. This week would be the perfect time to thank all of those who provide you with great service. I'm pretty sure a thank you food gift would get your point across.
October 12th - 16th is National School Lunch Week - A couple weeks ago I was the talk of the lunchroom at my nephew Joe's school. I sent my sister some of our mini brownies with notes on them to put in my nephew's lunch. He was so excited! He ran around showing all his little friends. I will definitely being doing that again this week!

October 2nd is World Smile Day - Make someone smile with a gourmet Fairytale brownie!
October 16th is Bosses Day - Major brownie points for you if your boss shows up on Friday and there is a box of the best brownies in the world on their desk!
October 17th is Sweetest Day - Another perfect opportunity to show that special person you care. A sweet chocolate gift for your sweet!
October 25th is Mother-In-Law - I don't think this one even needs a suggestion. Guys, trying to impress your Mother-In-Law? I can guarantee she would be floored if you sent her a gourmet brownie gift on this wacky holiday!
October 28th is National Chocolates Day - Seeing as our brownies are made with pure Belgian chocolate I know how I will be celebrating this one. I will take an Original brownie please!

Back to school - here we come!

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by Hilary Lee
Wow, I can't believe that summer is wrapping up for the kids and that school will be starting on Monday! I know the first day of school is different throughout the United States; some school districts here in Arizona even started school last Monday. Fortunately my son's school, Patterson Elementary in Gilbert starts on the 10th and we have just a few more days of summer to enjoy together. 

My son will be starting 5th grade this year and we've been invited to "Meet The Teacher" night on Thursday. This is where we'll go over the curriculum for the school year and get a list of school supplies he'll need. He tested into the Advanced Learning Program this year, so we are so excited to get going on that too! It's also a meet-and-greet of sorts to get to know the teacher. We are both very excited to be starting a new school year. 5th grade, here we come =)

One tradition we always follow is bringing his teachers a thank you food gift (before and after the school year). Of course we bring Fairytale Brownies (yumm) and introduce ourselves. I feel that a thoughtful thank you food gift in advance is a great way to set the tone for the school year.

This year I am bringing Austin's teacher our luscious Fairytale Truffles. You can't go wrong with these tasty little indulgences. The truffles are delicious fudgy mini brownies enrobed in rich decadent dark belgian chocolate. The Fairytale Truffles gift contains 3 each of Caramel, Raspberry Swirl and Walnut truffles nestled in an elegant brown box tied with purple or red satin ribbon. A gift of Gourmet Brownies will bring a smile to anyone's face, guaranteed! I chose the truffles not only because they are so delicious, but they are on special, for walk in customers to the retail store only, for 75% off retail price. That's only $6.23 per box. 

It's a small gesture that is sure to return great results. I hope you and your family enjoyed your summers together and best of luck to you in the new school year!

Celebrations Contest Winner!

Monday, July 13, 2009 by Hilary Lee
Last month, Fairytale Brownies partnered with Celebrations (a division of 800.flowers) to sponsor a contest to see who could come up with the most unique theme for a children's birthday party. The winners were selected last week and Fairytale Brownies shipped the winners their prizes. 

We received a great email from one of the winners this morning to let us know she received her gift and that she was so excited to try our delicious gourmet brownies! Here is what she wrote:

"I just received your wonderful box of delicious brownies awarded me as the 2nd place winner for one of the "Celebrations" parties. We gave a princess and pirate birthday party for my grandchildren - 3 year old boy and girl twins and 4 year old grandson - born one year and one week apart. The brownies are fabulous - thank you so much...what a treat!! - Maryl G."

Maryl received our Fairytale Double Dozen (see picture at right) for being the 2nd place winner in the contest. The Fairytale Double Dozen contains an assortment of 24 brownies carefully packed in our classic gift box with purple gift band. Thank you so much Marly for your great feedback and we are so happy you are enjoying the brownies!
