(download your bracket below)!
How to Play Sweet 16
Throughout the month of March, we will be holding a bracket challenge contest to find our very fan-favorite product! Each of our top 16 individual desserts and pastries will face off in “matches” all month-long, voted on by you — the fans!
We have put together a bracket of our Sweet 16 and for the next three weeks, we will hold daily matches via our Instagram Story, where you will have a chance to vote on which product you think is the fan-favorite.
Sweet 16: In-store BOGO!
But wait — what if you have yet to try the products competing, or simply need a taste refresher? Well, you’re in luck!
For each “match” day (and that day only!) we will offer the two competing products at buy one get one!
For example — our Tiramisu slice is competing against the Baba au Rum on Monday, March 8. For that day only and in-stores only, you can get our Tiramisu slice and Baba au Rum, BOGO!*
First, show your server or counter staff member that you are following Gourmandise on Instagram to qualify for the BOGO (@gourmandisethebakery).
You will receive a gold star dessert topper with your two desserts. Next, simply taste each dessert and decide which item is the fan-favorite! Use your gold star for an Instagram-worthy photo op (and get points for the Superfan award)!
Come back the next day for the next BOGO!
