VENDOR SPOTLIGHT

What is The Berry Best Fudge Company and how long have you been in business?

We are a full service fudge shop offering a variety of unique Gourmet Fudge Creations made from my sweet, creamy smooth fudge with the finest ingredients. We have been in business for two years with 1 year at our present location. The first year I sold online and on Saturdays at Atchison’s local CBD store.

What is the next step for your business?

We are now offering full time dessert catering. Our Gourmet Fudge Creations are perfect for wedding receptions, bridal showers, bachelor parties, corporate events, and really, any occasion. Services range from customer pick up, delivery and setup or full service - we provide tables, linens, plates, silverware, staffing and cleanup. We’ve noticed a trend in couples wanting more unique desserts at their receptions, and our Fudge Creations fills that palette.

Where do you see your business going in 3-5 years?

The fudge itself, as well as the Gourmet treats, has been very well received and consumed in many different states, so the next logical step would be to take the fudge company national. Currently, we are looking for a second location in the Kansas City area, and from there – who knows?

So, you have a website where people can order online, what about Social Media?

Yes, we can ship anywhere within the United States, and we have both Facebook and Instagram pages where our customers can follow us for the latest on new fudge flavors, specials and what’s happening at The Berry Best Fudge Company.

What is your inspiration behind Designs by P and

The inspiration behind Designs by P comes from my lifelong passion for art and creativity While planning my own wedding, I discovered the joy of creating one-of-a-kind and personalized designs. I took a risk and turned my hobby into a business, launching Designs by P I am grateful for the opportunity to work with clients creating memorable and personalized designs for their special day!

Some popular products and services I offer include branding, logos, custom stationery, and day of paper like menus, place cards and programs. Along with signage, cocktail napkins, cups and drink stirrers! My offerings are endless and I am always coming up with unique ideas to create new trends.

What is your main goal in providing services to your couples?

My goal is to offer couples personalized creations that beautifully reflect their unique love story, personalities, and shared interests. I believe that a wedding is a celebration of the couple's journey to building a future together, and my custom designs allow them to share this special moment with their guests. By providing tailored and custom solutions, I help couples avoid generic templates and DIY stress, ensuring they can fully enjoy the joy of their wedding day

What is your pricing for your custom creations?

My pricing varies for each couple based on your vision, what you find most important and your priorities. I am honest in guiding you on where to allocate your resources to ensure you get the most value without overspending. My custom creations are designed by hand and tailored to your individuality, ensuring a stress-free, cohesive experience highlighting what matters most to you.

What are your favorite products or services that

My favorite offering is my custom stationery, as it provides a wide scope for personalization. I enjoy hand painting and digitizing my artwork, allowing me to experiment with various materials, colors, and designs. I like incorporating elements like a drawing of their venue, florals, or even the couple's pets adding a truly unique and personalized touch to each creation.

Explain branding and cohesiveness

Branding is a collaborative process that begins with getting to know the couple's story, personalities, and shared interests. By incorporating meaningful symbols, colors, and motifs that hold significance to the couple, I design a logo and branding experience that not only reflects their love story but also sets the tone for their wedding aesthetic It serves as a unifying element that ties together all design elements. from their stationery to signage, I am creating a cohesive and memorable brand that resonates with the couple and their guests.

For many years I made a milk chocolate fudge that I gifted my friends and family through the Christmas holidays. Unfortunately, during the pandemic I was unable to keep this tradition going and the recipients of this chocolaty treat stated how much they missed it and looked forward to it each year. With a big, PLEASE from my Choc-a-holic husband Max, I decided to make this sweet, creamy fudge available all year round. And I must admit, being able to eat this fudge every day makes me very, very happy!
