Before we talk about the good stuff, a little bit of housekeeping is in order. We are still waiting for our dear Wogene to come home from Ethiopia. There are delays because of the US Embassy and their investigation before they can grant him a visa to come to the United States. Why am I even writing about this? Well, it makes for a very tricky holiday season for us. If we receive word in the next week or two that he has clearance, we will pretty much drop everything and jump the pond as quickly as we can to bring him home. Blue Ridge Bake Shop, at that point, will be closed for the holiday season as I am planning on taking "maternity leave" while we start our life together with our son. However, if we don't receive clearance (and it is truly any ones guess what will unfold with this debacle), we will be open and ready to take any and all orders that come our way. This Mama needs a little distraction while she (impatiently) waits for her sweet boy to come home, so put me to work!
That being said, if you are planning on ordering goodies with us this year, I'd suggest you do so as quickly as possible! I know a lot of folks don't like to send their gifts until close to December 25th, and I will do the best I can to fulfill those requests, but with the caveat that it may need to happen sooner if we receive clearance and need to send things earlier. Because of this uncertainty, if you place your orders now, and we need to leave before you wanted them to be delivered, I will happily grant you a refund.
Whew, confused yet?! It's been a frustrating time for us and I profusely apologize for the inconvenience. In an effort to entice you to place your orders sooner than later, I am offering a 15% discount on any and all orders placed by December 1st. That way, I can get things rolling in the kitchen and can also guarantee your order will be filled (as long as you don't mind me sending it between December 5th and 7th). We won't travel before those dates, even if we receive clearance in the next day or so. If you need to place multiple orders at once, email me or call (828-400-5795) and I can take your order by phone.
Now that that's taken care of, let's get to the good stuff! We are excited to offer two brand new packaging options this year. Click here to go to our website or on the packages below to be redirected to our website to place an order:
