Last Tuesday, December 8th, was NATIONAL BROWNIE DAY! Um, best holiday idea EVER! In honor of this chocolateous day, Cheryl & Co. invited several Ohio bloggers to their headquarters to celebrate their new Buttercream-Frosted Brownie. (Which by the way, is TOTALLY. WORTH. CELEBRATING!)
Here’s a picture of all of us in our Cheryl & Co. “Fun Baker” aprons. I have two questions for you regarding this picture: 1) Don’t we look cute? and 2) What the heck is wrong with me that I feel the need to cheese for every picture like it is my flipping senior portrait!? GEEZ!
Here is a close-up of my nerdiness next to the awesomeness that is Amy Turn Sharp, Amy in Ohio, and Heather aka Domestic Extraordinaire.
The whole event was really great and included a bakery tour and a fun session where we got to frost our own brownies with Cheryl & Co. signature buttercream icing! (Which some of us may have eaten with a spoon and others of us may have squirted into their mouths with their decorating baggie. *ahem*.) But the BEST thing about the event was: FREE CHILDCARE!!! That’s right, the awesome folks at Cheryl & Co. fed and entertained our children for THREE hours while we ate lunch, toured the bakery, and filled our bellies with goodies. Sophie had a GREAT time. The kids each got to take home a goodie bag also, and I cannot express enough how amazing the child care was! I wouldn’t have been able to attend without it.
The second best thing about the event was the frosting. OH, the FROSTING!!!! Of course Elisabeth, head baker and maker of all things yummy in the test kitchen, could not share the super-secret recipe but she let us sample it all we wanted. ‘Twas heavenly.
The THIRD best thing about the event was how HAWT we all looked in our Cheryl & Co. hair nets!! Especially me. Apparently, I can rawk a hair net out because several bloggers told me that I made a hair net look cute. Say what? I’ll let you be the judge:
It was a great National Brownie Day at Cheryl & Co. – and of course I LOVE that all these goodies are made in OHIO!! And since it supports our local economy to eat that yummy buttercream frosting, then I think it is my patriotic duty. So be a good American & go check out Cheryl & Co. for great holiday gift boxes & baskets full of goodies. Because, sadly, the hair nets are not for sale. 🙂
