Back-to-School Sweet Treats for Teachers, Children, and the PTA
It’s almost back-to-school season, and if you’re a parent, you know what that means: it’s time for school supplies and back-to-school food. Whether you want to thank a teacher for a job well done, or send your kids to school with something sweet in their lunchboxes, we’ve got you covered. Here are six no-brainer ways to make back-to-school season even sweeter this year:
After School Treats: When the kids come home from school, why not welcome them with something yummy? Pick up some buttery and colorful shortbread, some of our delicious chocolate chip cookies or kid-friendly mini cupcakes.
Build a Tasty Lunchbox: Spruce up your kid’s lunch box with something extra sweet! Pack them a savory croissant for lunch or sneak in a petite croissant for a special snack. Next level: the always desired Quebrada chocolate chip cookie! Your kids will be begging you to pack their lunchboxes forever!
Celebrate Birthdays the Right Way: Birthdays at school can be a big deal, and it’s crucial to come prepared with THE best goodies for the classroom! If baking at home seems overwhelming or time-consuming, never fear: we have plenty of homemade baked goods that work great for special occasions.
Petite cupcakes with white buttercream or chocolate ganache frosting are ALWAYS a winner (plus, they’re nut free*)! We also have a handful of dairy-free and egg-free options, like chocolate cake with vegan vanilla frosting or chocolate vegan frosting.
*We cannot guarantee there has not been cross-contamination.
Treat the Parents PTA: Stop by the bakery on the way to your PTA meeting (or call us ahead of time) and take a Joe-to-Go box* of your choice of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up and an assortment of petite pastries and cookies. Yum!
*The Joe-to-Go comes with cream, cups, lids, sugars, stirrers and napkins.
Put a Smile on a Teacher’s Face: Teachers need something sweet, too! When you’re dropping your kids off, send them into the classroom with some of our yoghurt parfait cups, built with Sophia’s Greek Pantry vanilla yoghurt (which is delicious, if we do say so ourselves!!) and topped with fresh blueberries and our homemade granola.
For teachers who appreciate the symbolism behind gifting apples (apples symbolize knowledge!), we have apple-shaped shortbread cookies specially for the first couple weeks of back-to-school season. So, show your teachers some well-deserved love and thanks with these sweet apple-shaped treats!
Stop at the Bakery: Treat yourself to a little YOU time! After your morning school drop-off, stop by one of our bakeries for a much-deserved cup of coffee. Our locations are close to schools for a reason ;)
