Weddings!

So I have officially decided to go ahead and get a booth at the WZID Wedding Expo. But I am really nervous about what to have on my table. If you are a bride, were a bride, or have any bridal thoughts at all, please share them with me. I'd love to know what to do with my table: what kinds of things brides are looking for, what colors, what kinds of chocolates, what kind of packaging, how much in a package, basically anything helpful.

I was a bride 8 years ago and had fabulous chocolates on each table at my wedding. Perfect since so many people were chatting and jumping around to different tables, they could snack on little chocolate covered cashews and mini truffles. Delicious!

And since my husband and I had both gone away to college and graduate school, we had lots of out-of-town guests, so we made great hospitality bags to leave at the different hotels. They would have been even better with goodies from The Sugar Mommy!

I recently made the favors for a bridal shower. It was awesome. Since the bride's color was purple, I made purple chocolates (crazy, right!), peanut butter cups topped with purple sugar hearts and wrapped in purple foil, and chocolate covered pretzels drizzled in purple chocolate...all packaged in purple bags with purple ribbon!

Should I Offer Shipping?

I'm trying to figure out the details, but The Sugar Mommy is really trying to work on offering nationwide shipping to customers. I know people have friends and family all over the country and I would love to help you send my fabulous goodies all over.

I also know that people have customers and clients all over America and I want to compete with other food vendors who do offer shipping.

I'd love to hear back from my readers on this topic. Please email me and let me know if you'd be interested in shipping.

Wedding Expo?

My friend Jen Cannon is the director of special events for WZID, the best radio station in New Hampshire. She is in charge of planning their fabulous wedding expo. The Sugar Mommy is going to be providing cupcakes for the brides to devour while they search for a free ring set giveaway.

But my big debate right now is whether to get a booth. There's a lot of planning involved. I would really like to enter the bridal arena: shower and wedding favors, engagement party favors, platters for showers and rehearsal dinners, etc.

I'd love to know what you think about that. Do brides want special, handmade chocolates for their weddings? their showers? on the tables at the wedding?

Here are some pictures of items that could be wedding favors: chocolate box with candy inside, individual chocolate pretzels with heart sprinkles, peanut butter cups with hearts on top, bags of wrapped peanut butter cups.

Let me know what you think!

Perfect Holiday Favors

I had to share! I I am just so excited about my new holiday packaging that ordered Christmas, Chanukah, and winter printed bags and ribbon, as well as Chinese takeout containers. I've been making snowflake, Star of David, and Christmas ornament chocolates and packaging them in the bags. Then I wrap the peanut butter cups in red, green, and gold foil (since I have white, milk, and dark chocolate) and put either in big snowflake bags or the takeout containers, so cute! Perfect for a party you're having so you can give each guest a favor. Also great for office/corporate gifts. Call or email for pricing.

Does Anything NOT Go With Chocolate??

So, I've been experimenting with new menu items and I'm trying to figure out if there's anything out there that simply doesn't go well with chocolate.

I mean, sure there are the usual pairings - nuts, raisins, Krispies cereal, strawberries. But what about granola, Corn Flakes, dried mango, Ritz crackers?
Do you have a favorite odd chocolate pairing that you found somewhere once a long time ago and wish you could rediscover?
Well, the magic of The Sugar Mommy is that you can get all those wishes answered. Swedish fish, no problem. Circus peanuts, piece of cake. Potato chips, cinch!
Just name your passion and The Sugar Mommy will deliver!

Holidays for All!

Usually when people think of the holidays, they really mean just one holiday...Christmas! But let's not forget Thanksgiving and Chanukah, not to mention winter in general.
So The Sugar Mommy is excited about new holiday creations for all your gift-giving needs. I have purchased great ingredients to make holiday orders even more special. As if my chocolate covered pretzels weren't good enough, you can now add gingerbread men sprinkles or peppermint candy cane sprinkles or even blue and white Stars of David. I also have green and red sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, and holiday colored m&ms.
In addition, I have chocolate molds in the shapes of Jewish stars, Chanukah items, ornaments, and snowflakes.
And I'm in the process of ordering holiday packaging items, such as clear bags and ribbon.
I figure if I'm going to hit the holiday shopping show circuit, I better be prepared.
So please contact me to find out where to find The Sugar Mommy this holiday season.
