Newsletter and Updates!

I starting sending out newsletters and just in case you did not receive it (let me know if you want to be on the distribution) I put all the details here too! 

It has been an exciting start for KbyK!  I have now have my own kitchen space on West 25th and have been officially up and running for seven months!  (Can you believe it!?)  KbyK has made a ton of progress developing additional products, reaching new audiences and most importantly, building momentum!  Here are a few highlights:

For those of you who don't know and have not been reading the blog, I GOT MARRIED!!  It was an amazing night that we will always remember for all the laughs and special moments with friends and family.  Chris (my hubby) and I enjoyed a short "mini-moon" in Bermuda before returning to work this month.

Now down to business… which has been super busy!  Just to name a few, here are some of the events that have been keeping me busy:

 

RECENT EVENTS

  • We participated in the NY Magazine and Wedding Salon Bridal expos, where I got to show off my custom wedding products in front of thousands of brides. (Very exciting and pretty crazy!)
  • I partnered with World Yacht, Hanky Panky, Modern Tousseau, AOL, Lovely Bridal and the "WE" Network on several special events here in Manhattan!
  • It has been a pleasure to participate and/or donate KbyK products and gift certificates to several charity golf outings and fundraisers.  Look for me at the Autism Speaks event at Juliet Supper Club next month!
  • I was honored to do a full-page photo shoot for Brides Magazine's October issue (see page 63). They asked me to create a "K-pop cake" for the spread, and I was so excited with the results. 

 

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK!!  

I am always so excited to receive suggestions and requests from my customers so shoot me an email with your ideas!  Here are a few recent updates.  

  • GIFTING MENU!  I can now do fun & yummy GIFT BOXES.  Each option can be customized with any festive holiday theme.  These gift boxes are PERFECT for sending to your clients or friends this holiday season.  
  • PERSONALIZING and EXPANDING MY WEDDING BUSINESS.  I am now able to create customized small wedding cakes, in addition to personalized cupcake and K-pop towers for weddings.  I am also doing these items, engagement parties, bridal showers, anniversaries, birthdays etc! 
  • KID'S STUFF.  I have been asked to do a ton of great stuff for kids.  Personalizing treats for birthday parties, christenings and Halloween has been a ton of fun!  
  • MORE PRODUCTS.  Stay tuned for more exciting developments (a holiday menu and new gluten free products)! 
  • Also, I now have a DELIVERY SERVICE!!  

And lastly, KbyK is hiring!  I hired my first part-time employee and am looking to add 1-2 more staff ahead of the holiday season! 

As always, THANK YOU for your support. I couldn't be having so much fun building KbyK without such an amazing and loyal customer base!  There will be a special prize for the 200th and 300th person to like me on facebook:)

 

All the best - Kristan

Dessert Table!

I had a lot of fun planning my first full dessert table!  It was for a unique little bridal shower.  There was dessert and champagne and a suprise treat from a guest speaker.  I thought the guest speaker was such a great idea from the host!  I decided to try and keep summer alive with sunflowers :)

I am back!

I am back after an absolutely incredible weekend and week!  I cannot thank everyone who was apart of it enough :)  I wanted to share a few pictures from the wedding and Bermuda with you!  I am ready to take all of your orders again and make sure to look out for my fall menu later this week!

My Amazing Bridal Party

I made the cake pop tower with a 6 inch cake that had an edible image of our logo on it :)

BERMUDA - We stayed at Tucker's Point - I would highly recommend it!
