On June 8th, 2024, The Gluten Free Bao Company held it's Launch Party to celebrate the grand opening of it's online store!
Did I mention Krisanna is an incredibly talented baker? For the launch party she baked this cake of our company mascot, Bao-ie on a throne! All hail King Bao-ie!
For the party, we offered 3 kinds of fillings for our baos. The first was the Rocky Bao-boa (Philly cheesesteak), the second was Ma-Bao tofu (filled with mapo tofu), and the last was a chicken salad bao (punny name pending).
At 4pm, we officially pushed the button to launch the website!
Congratulations to Jen for winning the "Best Bao Pun" contest with her submission "Bil-Bao Baggins"! She went home with a prize basket that included a one-of-a-kind Bao-ie plushie!
I also made this magnetic "Bao-ie Board" so people could create their own Bao-ie expressions!
But by the end of the night, Bao-ie looked like they'd partied a little too hard...
Thanks to everyone who helped make our grand opening such a fun and memorable event!
