Things have been moving and shaking at Edible Spirits!

We have been super busy creating our gluten free product line, but were able to sneak in a few appearences on the country’s best morning show.

While we have been shipping our delicious cakes overseas to troops for quite some time now, there are still too many people who didn’t know about us.  To spread the word we have teamed up with the most fun and energetic morning show around: The Daily Buzz!  Currently airing in 45 states and in over 60% of households in America, The Daily Buzz Morning Show is still growing and gaining more viewers each day.  They pride themselfs on delivering the news in good spirits, so why not have Edible Spirits along for the ride?  

Our first segment was geared towards the holidays and remembering our troops…

and though it aired on Christmas Eve, it was still a big hit and created awareness of our Freedom Cake Program which sends delicious rum and liqueur cakes to the US Armed Forces overseas.

On our Valentine’s Day Special for 2011, we announced our gluten free line of rum and liqueur cakes. 

We talked about our Myers Gourmet Rum Balls, our Amaretto Hearts dipped in White Chocolate, and our Chocolate Cherry Brandy Hearts dipped in Ghirardelli Chocolate. 

(These items are available as a special order year ’round and make great Anniversary Gifts.  Call 772.324.2100 or send us an e-mail)
