The Heat Goes On

Have I mentioned that there are Portuguese Man O'War stinging people off the coast of New England? That's how hot it is. Over the weekend, temperatures rose over 110 degrees in parts of California.

The heat's proven too much for our Petits Fours Package Collection to bear. We sent some to Yuma, Arizona. Some of them melted. We sent some more to Yuma, Arizona, (free of charge, because we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee) and some of those melted. Between the two boxes, the customer had enough for her party, which was good. Temperatures were well over 100 in Yuma at the time, and while that isn't the case everywhere, it's hot enough in enough of the country that we've decided to keep them off the site for a week or so.

If you need petits fours, our Demitasse Party Petits Fours are still available, and they're durable enough to take the heat. They're what we in the business call "shelf stable," which means they can be stored for a time without refrigeration.

The Package Collection is still available, but we're shipping them on a case-by-case basis until things cool down. If you'd like to order some, please call us at 1-800-287-9870 and we'll see if we can get them to you. If you're placing an order for Septemeber 1 and beyond, no problem, just give us a call.

If, like me, you're wondering when this scorching summer will be just an upleasant memory, you'll be happy to know that our Back to School Mini Cookies return on August 1, a sure sign that autumn is coming. That also means that our Spring Mini Cookies will soon be gone, so if you're in need of flowers and ladybugs, be sure to order some soon.
