Chocolate Cherry Coffee Cake:
New and Improved!
We have been selling our Chocolate Cherry Coffee Cake for a year, but our original Cream Cheese Coffee Cake has been killing it in sales. Well, that's about to end. Our Chocolate Cherry Coffee Cake is now new and improved! It is even more moist, we have lengthened the time it tastes fresh from the oven! It's on special for the rest of National Cherry Month. Regularly, $24.95. Now $19.95.
Recipe Section a Success!
Last week we told you about our NEW! Recipe section. Well, it garnered a lot of attention and we got a lot of looks. In our continuing celebration of the world's greatest fruit, we have added 3 more recipes. Two are from our chefs in the Bakery & Cafe, and one submission is from a citizen (thanks Gail!).
Valentine's Day Success!
Valentine's Day was a successful time in the Cherry Republic. Packages were shipped on time, heart shaped cookies were eaten. NEW! product Iced Imperial Pretzels were a hit. There are only a few bags left, get them now, as they won't be back until next year! So, did we make Valentine's Day as big as Christmas? No, we didn't. But we sure had fun trying and we helped a lot of people show the love with cherries. It was fun to enlist Santa's help. So all in all it was a success! Love rules in the Cherry Republic...
Surprise, Surprise!
My Valentine's idea was superseded by Steph. I gave her a nice bath & body basket. I gave her flowers. But just when I mentioned the idea of going outside to make a fire for the evening in our secret spot in the woods, she opened the fridge and showed me lobster tails and Filet Mignon from Burritt's Market. So we stayed home and made Hollandaise sauce and herb butter and a green bean stir fry. And then we made chocolate pudding! It was a great night. Maybe not as exciting to tell as a night outside, but surely as fun to experience.
