Mad for Half Moons? Don’t Miss March Moon Madness at Holland Farms!

No comments

The half moon cookie is unique to our area – in fact, it originated right in Utica in the early part of the 20th century. Today, Holland Farms Bakery & Deli bakes some of the very best half moon cookies, fresh from scratch, every day. We’re so mad for half moons here at Holland Farms that we’ve declared March as Moon Madness Month.

Of course, we offer the traditional chocolate half moon cookie frosted with half chocolate and half vanilla icing. And yes, we make the same cookie in vanilla. But we also know our customers have different tastes, and sometimes are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.

Do you like chocolate with all chocolate icing? Vanilla with all vanilla icing? Raspberry jelly and coconut? What about a chocolate moon with vanilla swirled frosting… or a vanilla moon with chocolate swirled icing? Maybe you’d like carrot with cream cheese frosting… or perhaps red velvet? No problem. Holland Farms Bakery & Deli makes all of these varieties and what’s more, we dress them up special for holiday entertaining – pastels for Easter, green for St. Patrick’s Day, orange for Halloween. You can even special order colors for baby showers, bridal showers, school events – we make your moon just the way you want it, for any occasion.

Don’t live in the area and miss the great taste of Holland Farms half moons? That’s no problem – give us a call at 315-736-6044, talk with any of our smiling clerks, and we’ll have half moons on their way to you in a jiffy. We mail our half moons priority mail on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays specially packaged to stay fresh, and you’ll receive them in 2 to 3 days. Or, you can order conveniently online, and we’ll contact you with payment and shipping details.

Don’t miss out on March Moon Madness, happening right now at Holland Farms Bakery & Deli!

Hey Cupcake! Albro’s Tasty Treats are a Holland Farms Standout!

No comments

When you stop into Holland Farms Bakery & Deli, one thing you’re sure to notice right away is our display case filled with beautifully decorated cakes, cupcakes and treats. Behind these designs is Sheila Albro, lead cake decorator at Holland Farms.

Sheila has worked at Holland Farms for two and a half years, but she’s been decorating cakes for more than 12 years. “My mom and sister are both cake decorators, so I grew up with it,” Sheila said. As part of her responsibilities at Holland Farms, Sheila works directly with clients to help them create the custom cake of their dreams, as well as creating numerous cake and cupcake designs which are sold daily in the bakery case.

Sheila said that she produces 30 to 40 cakes on a daily basis that are displayed and sold in the bakery case, as well as hundreds of cupcakes each week. One of the main highlights of working at Holland Farms for Sheila is the ability to put her imagination to work. “Here, I have the freedom to be as creative as I want,” she said. “I especially love getting creative with the cupcakes.”

Sheila enjoys working directly with baker Mark Scott on new cake and cupcake creations, as well as the rest of the staff at Holland Farms. “The staff here at Holland Farms is a close-knit group of people. It’s almost a family atmosphere.” Although she is surrounded by her own delectable creations all day, Sheila says her preferred Holland Farms treat is a seasonal favorite. “I love our Dutch almond sticks, which are available during the holidays.”

Sheila makes her home in Vernon Center with her husband and two children. An added perk to working with sweet treats all day? “When I get home my kids follow me around smiling – they love that I smell like frosting!”
