When we aren’t elbows deep in petri dishes and coding, you may find us in the kitchen or the woods. Our favorite activities include baking, yearly boating and hiking trips, and holiday exchanges.

They tasted as good as they look

Plus, we are not planning on going out of business anytime soon.

Holiday party: notable appearances from children’s songs, fermented foods, and splashes of wine

Flavors:

Lemon Strawberry – pink

Dulce de Leche – white

Coconut – white

Red Velvet Oreo – green
