Huh. I like that font. I wanted a font that was easy to read for the large event I recently catered. Point taken though, and I'll change it to something else. Thanks!

A Google search of "comic sans" will give you an idea of the widespread disdain for comic sans, especially it's frequent incongruous use (a silly font used for serious subject matter). The Wikipedia entry for comic sans has a section titled "Opposition".
I'm married to a graphic designer, so I am probably exposed to a higher level of comic sans hate than you.

That's music to my ears, friend. For those who have participated and those who are casual watchers, I'll soon put together a pricing poll. I still need to work on a few details though. I'll bet pricing will be all over the place.
I really want pictures of the most recent shipment if any are available, so I can see how these survived. Heh. I have to admit it's getting better. Getting better all the time.

My pleasure man. It was delicious. A girl at work brought some "pastry" in yesterday and it look like she dumped an Entemanns onto a plate. I was like "blegh, this sucks ass compared to Dervacumens pastry". I didnt even eat any. Thanks for making me a pastry snob. ;D :cheers:

If you do another round of taste-testing please count me in, but it looks like I'm a little late to the party... ;D

Jumpin' Jehosaphat! BTW one of the articles I just read said it may be making a comeback as a retro-chic thing. I'm either out of touch or ahead of my time. I guess I better google some font's before I put them to use. :-[

For the record, I have no problem with Comic Sans font. It's simple, easy to read, and depending on the context conveys a fun type of styling without getting too silly. At no point while looking at your packaging did I think "My enjoyment is marred by his choice of font!"
Whatever you choose keep it readable and don't get too fancy/frilly. I think that will turn more people off than a simpler font will. The guys in my family were already on the fence about how "fancy" it was. A difficult to read gotchic type font would increase this feeling I think.
$20ish sounds good depending on shipping, $30ish + shipping may start to sound too high. Definitely blows away comparable items that I have seen and tried, definitely have us provide tesimonials and such when you put your site together. Word of mouth will work well for this, difficult to order something like this when you don't have or know anyone who had a previous positive experience.
My wife also had the cinnamon request, I'd like to see the "extra" cinnamon pieces offered as a yummy type option! :)
Keep plugging along!
