Hello, cookie lovers, and Happy Autumn!  We are the Cookie Lanterns, and we’re excited to introduce ourselves to you and tell you about our product, the Pumpkin Patch collection.  Here is our team.  Pictured from left to right is Emmanuel, Ryan, Katie, and Andrew. 

The Cookie Lanterns consist of two engineers and two business majors. Katie Mulvaney is a junior majoring in Engineering Science.  She hails from Pittsburgh, PA, and runs on the Club Cross Country team. Ryan Yoest is a senior majoring in Agricultural Systems Management.  He hails from Washington, PA, and raises Texas Longhorn cattle. Andrew Kim is a junior in the HRIM program.  He’s from Ramsey, NJ, and has a talent for baking cookies. Emmanuel Maru is a junior in Accounting and is a native of Gaithersburg, MD.  He can hold his breath for three minutes underwater.

As our team was discussing the project at hand, we all decided that going on a hayride to pick out pumpkins and carving them into jack-o-lanterns  was one of our favorite Autumn past times.  Coming home from school, it was always nice to have those goofy faces smiling back at you as you came in the door.  With picking out costumes, decorating the house, and fall sports in full swing, it’s hard some years to find time to carve the pumpkins , not to mention how messy the whole ordeal can be!  Why not get some jack-o-lantern pumpkin cookies from Flour Box Bakery as a sweet and tasty alternative to your favorite grinning pals?

 

The Pumpkin Patch gourmet cookie collection will do just the trick!  This set comes with 14 pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, 10 large and four small.  Freshly baked and made with all natural ingredients, these jack-o-lanterns are sure to put a smile on your face with their unique expressions.  Most of the cookies are hand decorated with fun faces (which the Cookie Lanterns tried to imitate).   These little guys will make a great decorative addition to your Halloween party this year!
