Embrace Sweets: A long chapter closes in Cincinnati
We are totally saddened and devastated over the news that our good friends Brandi and Sandra Daniels at Embrace Sweets are closing their business here in Cincinnati and moving west to California. Brandi and Sandra were an essential part of the emerging local food movement in our city, as well as an inspiration to us here at Park + Vine when we jumped into the uncertain waters of retailing in Over-the-Rhine. Their smiling faces, warm hearts and unforgettable sweets were well-known at markets, coffeehouses and restaurants around Cincinnati. We will miss them deeply. Their news release follows:

To our most valued customers,
After years of truly trying to make Embrace Sweets a successful specialty dessert company in Cincinnati, we are sorry to say that we must close our doors*. As many of you know, we have been seeking funding for over two years and without receiving it, there was only so much longer Embrace Sweets could go on.
This decision is not due to a lack in customers or accounts, but simply with the daily increase in fuel, supplies and ingredients the combination has taken its toll.
This has not been an easy decision, but we are excited about the new opportunities, and we will carry with us all of your support, love and encouragement you have given us the past four years.
As many of you know Embrace Sweets began as an online company and through our website (www.embracesweets.com) and www.amazon.com you will still be able to purchase our award winning brownies, cookies and granola!
On a final note, Sandra and I just want to thank all of you for believing in us, standing by our product and trusting us to bring the very best to your customers. We have enjoyed working with all of you, and we’re taking so much with us. Thank you.
Sandra + Brandi Daniels
*Effective June 24, 2008, Embrace Sweets will be closing in Cincinnati, OH. Ordering will still be available via www.embracesweets.com & www.amazon.com.
