Halloween Treats, Thanksgiving Pies & Exciting News! | |
Dear Friends
Happy Halloween! 🎃 Now’s the time to grab your spooky treats before they vanish—October is the only month of the year we bake cupcakes, so don’t miss out on these festive flavors!
Thanksgiving pie orders are hopping, and our beloved Butterscotch Pie is flying off the shelves. This special recipe belonged to Madeleine's great-grandmother, Sarah Tarnopol, and has been a part of our family’s celebrations for over 100 years. Due to the pie's labor-intensive nature, we’re only able to make a limited quantity, so if you’d like to enjoy this classic at your table, be sure to preorder soon—we have only a few left!
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: we’ve brought on extra help to meet our growing demand! Our new baker’s assistant, Sarah, is lending her talent in the back, assisting Maria. Although she doesn’t live in Skokie (yet!), we’re sure she’ll fall in love with this wonderful community just like we did. Please say hello and give her a warm welcome next time you visit.
Plus, be sure to check out the special offer exclusively for our customers from Enclave Coworking below!
with sweetness,
Dylan, Maria & Madeleine
