Sugar Bliss

It was an amazing week at KeHE Distributors Holiday Trade Show! This is our second trade show since launching Sugar Bliss Cookies! People always ask us are trade shows worth it - booth fee, booth displays, samples, staff, lodging, and etc. This one was definitely worth it! Buyers created orders on the spot and we met some amazing founders - Ichor , Issei, Kooshy, Garlic Expressions, Start Right Foods, and more! As a founder in the CPG industry, it is so great to hear other founders stories on how they started and the accomplishments and struggles they have had. We all can relate! Every time I go to these shows I am always surrounded by founders that are authentic and want to support each other. Truly ❤️ the collaboration and support in this journey.

We are at Sweets & Snacks Expo this week! Day 1 and it has been amazing meeting everyone! Stop by our booth 22283 and also hear us pitch on Wed at the Trends and Innovation Stage at 2 pm! Sugar Bliss was selected as one of the 5x5 to pitch! #blissfullysweet #womenowned #minorityowned

Today we shipped our first production of pallets of cookies from our coman to our nationwide client. For the past 2 years we have been planning for this moment. I watched 100,000+ cookies - - Mixed in a 500 lb mixer with chocolate chips, pretzels, potato chips - Cookie dough coming out of a machine within split seconds and loaded on lines of sheet racks - Baked in rotating ovens where 1,000 cookies are produced every 10 minutes - Packaged through a flowrap machine within seconds - 4,000+ cookies put in cases on each pallet - Wrapped and loaded onto truck for delivery Wow! I had to reflect on all the hard work from everyone on my team for the past 2 years. As founders we grind every day and today I actually paused to reflect what we have accomplished and what the rest of the year looks like. I know everyone says you have to stop to smell the roses...today I stopped to smell the thousands of cookies we baked and ready for nationwide launch. 🍪🍪🍪

What a week at the WBENC 2024 conference in Denver! It was my first conference even though I have been certified since 2017. It was so great networking with so many different women in all kinds of industries and also feeling the support from corporations that are eager to do business with women owned. Loved having the demo and showcasing Sugar Bliss cookies 🍪🍪 Being both women and minority certified has opened up so many opportunities for Sugar Bliss. We are launching into Macy's and Compass Group in April and May and love the support! #womenowned
