SC loves all thing pink and green and my bff Lisa politely supplies me with pink and green taffy for all of my events. It is so yummy I had to share my interview with her! Click here to see more
You've been called the taffy princess, how long has your family been making sweets? We have been confectioners for many generations. My german born great great grandfather and grandfather brought their candy making knowledge to the United States in the 1800's. They had Dairy Maid, a chocolate factory and retail outlet in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. My grandfather used to tell us stories of working with his father and grandfather on Christmas Day delivering sweets and ice cream molds to customers by horse and buggy. My grandfather and his three brothers bought the James' Salt Water Taffy in the 1940's. My father eventually took over and then acquired Fralinger's Salt Water Taffy in the 1990's and Bayard's Chocolates in 2004.
I know the answer but since I love it so much what is your most popular flavor? Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate! Then vanilla, strawberry and banana are all a close second.
We make custom pink and green taffy gift bags for all of my book clubs and preppy parties! Do you do similar items that are very user friendly as gifts of for events that I need to know about? Our customers are very creative with themed gift ideas. Our taffy can be purchased by your favorite flavor or color in our stores in bulk or ordered on line. Recently a bride took several pieces of taffy, placed them in an open shell and then wrapped it in netting for favors. They looked beautiful.
Taffy makes a great hostess gift and decor at a catered affair. Am I missing other ways to use it? You are correct; three years ago Redbook named our taffy as one of its "top hostess gifts." They can be great teacher gifts as well and are always appreciated at the holidays. Who doesn't want a little taste of summer in the winter?
Thank you Lisa!

Beth ~ I thoroughly enjoyed the taffy from your soiree last week. I mentioned the pretty pink and green taffy to my mother and found out that Fralinger's is the ONLY kind of taffy my Nana eats and claims that it is the BEST. I'm going to visit her soon and plan to take her some pink and green taffy to enjoy. Great interview. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI haven't had that pink, green and white taffy since I was a kid. I didn't even know it was still make. I'll have to introduce my grandkiddos to it. Woohoo...another project Grandma. Of course I will introduce it in the preppiest way possible.
ReplyDeleteGod bless ya'll...thanks for the into to Miss Lisa!!!
Ummm, saltwater taffy sounds delicious (and pink and green, does it get any better!)

ReplyDeleteI love taffy!
ReplyDeleteyummy...I am a sucker for taffy {and really tacky for saying it like that} LOL...
ReplyDeleteHope your having a great week! xoxo
Now I really want to head to the beach. Even if it is just to get salt water taffy.
ReplyDeleteBeeeth!! You're teasing me! I miss the beach, taffy is one of my favorite things! Happy Monogram Monday! xoe
ReplyDeleteTaffy reminds me of childhood -- I love salt water taffy, or atleast I did. Really looking forward to sharing it with my children and for it to be part of their childhood when we get to the states.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I wish I was there!!! I love saltwater taffy!!! And I live in NJ!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can wait til summer to go down the shore to get some.
Hey Beth, I absolutely LOVE red doors! I was just talking about that today. I think a front door makes a statement and when your driving around, look at the red doors, they look so inviting. Also, in the Cayman Islands, there is a Cayman Taffy shoppe, OMG, it is the best! Maybe not as good as your taffy, but it's still good!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
xxoo
