Wondering how to help out this winter? My friend just told me about an awesome day she had decorating cookies…for homeless shelters! She had a blast and got to hear some truly inspiring stories. Through an organization called Drop in and Decorate, you can organize cookie decorating parties through your work. Explore your creative juices and make a family’s day, too. Makes me happy just thinking about it.
This Valentine’s Day, we have lots of love for the friends who have supported Alice’s Stick Cookies! We recently visited Cooper Garrod, a fabulous local winery, and thought it would be a great place to celebrate friends in February. The grapes are still waiting for warm wind, but in the meantime, tours of the cellar are a tasty treat. A picnic, delicious wine, and of course, a pocketful of our cinnamon-ginger cookies. Love, indeed.

This weekend, we had a fantastic time baking a lovely New York style cheese cake, using Alice’s Stick Cookies for the crust. The result was absolutely finger-licking good! We definitely recommend trying our recipe below. The Alice’s Stick Cookies crust gives it that extra gourmet touch that will leave your family and friends impressed by your baking skills and wanting more!

The Alice’s Stick Cookies team had a wonderful time last week at the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade’s Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. The event included thousands of samples of tasty treats from all over the world, spanning both Moscone Center buildings. Needless to say, our team stuffed ourselves silly, while exploring the show and connecting many fellow food lovers. We also enjoyed being a part of the Savor California section of the show and allowed many a visitor to sample our award winning cookies! The feedback on the taste was as we predicted: everyone LOVED them, and some even came back for more!

Last weekend, we attended the Holiday Festival of Food at Andronico’s in Los Altos. We had so much fun as one of Andronico’s featured products. We passed out samples of our cookies to customers, while enjoying the festivities, which included live music and a fun raffle! Below is a picture of one of our own sharing Alice’s Stick Cookies! Her smile says it all!
Many thanks to Andronico’s for being so supportive, friendly and fun! We are so proud to be sold at such a community oriented grocer. We love these events and can’t wait for the next one!
Have you heard of TheFancy.com? We are constantly looking for inspiration, whether it be in other food products, design, music, etc., and TheFancy.com acts as a way to explore different interests and organize what you like. The best part it that the site is very visual- you can choose what inspires you based on an instant reaction upon first glance. Also, you have the option of following the feeds of your peers and their inspirations. Imagine a tumblr of all your friends in one feed coupled with the option of choosing items you yourself “fancy”.
Over time, the site could possibly create a visual of all the different things that inspire you. Talk about a great way to visualize your creative style in one place!
