And just like that, Bakedmas is a wrap!🎄✨ (But you already know this if you've been following our 12 Days of Bakedmas series on Facebook and Instagram!)
Yes, our countdown to Christmas has come to an end, last orders have officially closed, and our 2024 Christmas range is sold out! And a huge thank you is in order for all you mince pie-loving, Venison & Port Pie-devouring legends who made that happen! 😉
So, while our ovens take a well-earned break, we thought we’d do something a little different and give you a peek behind the curtain at what it takes to pull off a gluten-free Christmas here at Baked! 👀👀
The Dream Team Behind Christmas Magic
It’s not just Turkey, Ham, Brie & Cranberry pies and Rum Crunch slices that make this season special - it’s the hardworking team behind the scenes!
👇 So here's the journey of your Christmas order from the moment you checked out, to the time it got to your front door..
🎅 The Cracking Fulfilment Team:
Mel and Suzi were the unsung heroes keeping the Bakedmas machine running! They were your order's first stop on its Christmas journey - so without them there would be no Bakedmas! 😮
From processing your orders, to answering your last-minute queries (yes, even the panicked “Will my pies arrive on time?!” ones), they ensured everything flowed seamlessly. They’re like Santa’s little helpers - just with laptops instead of sleighs 🧑💻
🧑🍳 The Bakers:
Our Baked Elves have been extra busy from dawn till dusk the past few weeks! From prepping all of these limited edition recipes, to mixing, rolling, and perfecting every pie, cake, and pasty, they're like baking superheroes 🦸
From hand-crimping each Turkey, Ham & Cranberry Pasty to ensuring that every Christmas Cake slice is iced to perfection, these folks are the heartbeat of our festive production, that's for sure! ❤️
🎁 The Packing Squad:
Time to give yet another shoutout - this time to our crack team of packers! These guys are the ones responsible for packing up product, making sure your orders are boxed up beautifully 🎁 and sent off in time for Santa’s sleigh (or your delivery driver)!!
Whether it’s a single Christmas Cake being wrapped up, or a customer's box of gluten-free goodies, they pack it all up with care, precision, and a sprinkle of Christmas cheer 🎅✨
🚛 Delivery Heroes:
Here's another unsung hero of our operation... the delivery drivers! Our delivery drivers deserve a shoutout for braving rain, frost, and other crazy weather conditions to get your festive treats to your doorstep. 🚚💨
Whether we're talking about our own drivers delivering to local stockists, or the DPD vans that take your specific parcel on its special Christmas journey, they all deserve some real recognition 👍
What We Achieved Together 😊
With your support, we sold out of nearly everything in our Christmas range this year!! I know, how crazy! It’s been a whirlwind of pies, cakes, and pastries flying out the door faster than you can say 📣 “gluten-free!”
We’re ending 2024 on a high, feeling proud, grateful, and ready to take a little breather (and maybe eat a mince pie or two ourselves).
Looking Ahead to 2025 💭
Can’t wait to stock up for next year? 🤔 Well, you don’t have to!! Our date picker at checkout means you can already schedule your 2025 orders 🌟 Because, come on, let’s be real... there’s no such thing as planning too early when it comes to gluten-free treats!
Thank you for making this year’s Bakedmas absolutely unforgettable. We'll be back in the kitchen on the 6th of January, so we’ll see you in 2025 (bigger, better, and with even more GF bakes to warm up the new year)!! 🎉
Merry Christmas and happy munching,
The Baked To Taste Team
