The Two Most Loyal Customers

Flashback to 2013. It’s March and Gilly’s was only 5 months old. I was still learning exactly what I wanted to do with Gilly’s and was kind of floating around ideas.

Then Sarah messaged me. She was asking if I could make a platter of treats for her second anniversary. I happily accepted and went full-force. For their anniversary, I made a mini-lemon cheesecake, chocolate cupcakes with individual fruit frosting, and salted caramel cake pops.

Then, March 2014 came, Sarah asked me again if I would do the honors of baking her and Evan’s third year anniversary desserts. Again, I happily obliged. This time it was mini key lime cheesecakes, s’more cupcakes and the self-proclaimed “Gilly Bars”.

Later that year, Sarah asked me to donate some treats to her sorority Alpha Xi Delta for their annual “Puzzlepalooza” a puzzle competition to raise awareness for Autism. Again, I was so excited. I made over 500 mini-cupcakes to serve and the women that assisted me were simply fabulous.

Now, here we are in 2015, and I completed Sarah and Evan’s fourth year anniversary treats.

In the history of loyal customers, Sarah and Evan are numbers 1 and 2. Every year, I cannot express how much I value their business and the ideas that they help inspire for Gilly’s. This year, Sarah and Evan requested some more key lime cheesecakes, some sort of s’more treat, and something with chocolate and bacon.

Again, to Sarah and Evan, thank you.
