Good afternoon, everybody! Hope everyone is doing well. We’re approaching the end of autumn, and you know what that means… cold weather, hot drinks, and eventually, the holiday season! Hopefully now that the pandemic is starting to ebb away, you’ll be able to visit distant family safely and enjoy your holidays all together.
The holiday season is always the busiest time of year for us. We’re constantly hustling and bustling to fulfill orders and bake sweets that everyone wants. We like the hustle and bustle, though– it allows us to make even more of an impact in our community, and our employees definitely enjoy earning money they can spend on holiday gifts. Ultimately, though, our influence is limited to how far our baked goods can ship! We know of people all across the country– even across the globe in some cases– that wish to support our organization, and while we’re grateful of any amount of support we get, we’d also love to give them a taste of the bakery in return.
Earlier this year, during our 4th Annual Gala-Q and Silent Auction, we introduced bagged cake mixes. It was a bold step into a new market, and while hot chocolate mix is no stranger to our menu, one of our most iconic products suddenly became portable across long distances. No longer did a customer in Florida or South Carolina need to depend on a friend or relative to stop in and deliver a Key Lime cupcake (of questionable freshness) to their house… with a mix, you could easily make two dozen right in your oven!
Today’s announcement is MUCH bigger than just bagged cake mix. Because you get that and much more in the new Special Kneads Holiday Box!
The Special Kneads Holiday Box represents a huge step out in faith for the bakery. We’re using this to gauge interest in a new way to share our sweets and our personality with long-distance customers. With the box, you’ll get all the items pictured above: A bag of our red velvet cake mix, a bag of cream cheese icing mix, a bag of Gigi’s hot chocolate mix, a bag of holiday-colored nonpareils, a Special Kneads oven mitt and spatula, and even a wooden cupcake ornament to decorate a Christmas tree. You’ll also see a custom design inside the box, and in fact all 100 boxes will be given a custom design by one of our very special employees. You won’t know what you get until you open the box for yourself!
As stated, we will be making 100 of these boxes total, and they will ship anywhere nationwide starting on December 1st. We’ve already seen a lot of these boxes get sold, so better to grab one sooner rather than later, in my opinion! You can find the eBay link right here, and we’ll also add the box to our online store when we get closer to the shipping date.
You’ll definitely hear more about the holiday box as we approach the winter season, both here and elsewhere on our social media. Again, this is largely an experiment on our part to see if there’s interest in this kind of product, so if we sell out of boxes quickly there’s a chance we may do other boxes in the future. For now, though, we’d love to hear your thoughts and we hope you enjoy the Special Kneads Holiday Box!
Have a great day and God bless you.
