The Official Dancing Deer Baking Co. Blog

As the summer heat drives the Deers to stay in the shade, it has become quiet on the blog. Fortunately, that leaves room for an inside view on Dancing Deer through the eyes of an intern!

So far, it sure has been an eventful summer:
• I witnessed Trish Karter, the inspiring leader who co-founded Dancing Deer, retiring from her position as CEO and handing off the torch to Frank Carpenito, who I have gotten to know as an incredibly passionate and amazing industry expert, who undoubtedly will steer this company into new and exciting waters.

• I have been working in the dark - literally! As part of Dancing Deer’s commitment to environmental sustainability, we partake in a program that reduces energy usage during peak consumption periods (such as those insanely hot and humid New England summer days). How do we do that? Well, for one… we switch off the lights.

• I am doing more sports… to counteract the insane amounts of brownies I let myself indulge in. My hands-down favorite: Chocolate Chunk! Closely followed by the delicious Caramel Pecan. And if I can’t find any brownies around the office, I go on a hunt for some Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. As you may be able to tell, I am a passionate Chocolate Lover!
• As a business student with a very corporate background, it got a fascinating glimpse into how different and fun work can be. The Deers care! It starts with simple things, such as the friendly, open and helpful environment in the office, all the way to the monthly birthday celebration sessions in the cantina. What I found is that this culture transcends the office and factory walls; it is part of Dancing Deer’s passion to not only satisfy the customer but to go above and beyond; to always put the customer first, without compromise.
