Our very own Shianne Smalling talks about why we started offering the option to opt out of Mother's Day campaigns ahead of May in EMARKETER's newest article, "Why marketers should be sensitive with Mother’s Day marketing campaigns". “Anytime you enter a transaction with someone, you’re building a relationship with them,” said Smalling.

Last week, our Larchmont Village bakery hosted our first ever cookie baking class for a few very special students at 3rd Street Elementary School. This isn’t something we normally offer at our bakeries but we are beyond happy to be a part of the Making Caring Common program and their mission to make the world a sweeter place by teaching kindness and empathy at a young age. Our LA team, Omar and Walter, taught 14 incredible students, who exemplified kindness all year long, how to make our signature ooey gooey cookies! And of course the students got to take their hard-earned treats home. Amazing things can happen when we support our neighbors and communities.
