If The Cookies Look Great, They Are!

April 12th, 2009
We make our cookies in house everyday!
We make our cookies fresh and in house everyday!

I was browsing through the web last night and checking out different sites that sell the same type of products we offer.  I was stunned to see how many of the sites use pictures that are not good. I can promise you that when our cookies arrive they look every bit  as good as they do on our website.

Be careful if having dipped cookies shipped via ground

March 22nd, 2009

It is getting that time of the year when you might want to consider having your custom dipped fortune cookies shipped either overnight or 2 day air.  With the warmer weather upon us the chances of the cookies showing up melted is increasing.

If you do choose the ground shipping just make sure you follow them when you get the tracking number, and make sure you have someone at home to sign for them.  We have companies that order dipped fortune cookies from us year round and don’t have any problems having them shipped ground.

Just a heads up! Lets remember that we are dealing with chocolate and it will melt!  Thanks all and please take the time to comment on our posts and visit our website here.

New font and it is snazzy looking!

March 18th, 2009

Last night I received a custom fortune cookie order from Judy R. who lives in Texas and she requested a font that I love.  It’s actually a pretty common font, I think, and it comes standard with Microsoft Windows.  The font name is Maiandra.  You  can see how her fortunes turned out by clicking the link below. www.tankinz.com/cfortunemasterjudyrfront.jpg

What I like most about this font how clean it is yet fun!  You could actually use it for any occasion, Judy used if for a wedding, but it could really be used for businesses as well.  One of the great things about ordering custom fortune cookies from www.tankinz.com is that you get to choose your font. This allows you to fully customize your messages for your event and make the event extra special for your guests.  Often times customers like to use upscale looking fonts for weddings and businesses like to stick with something that is easier to read.  The most common font we use is Arial, it’s clean and easy to read.  Even in a smaller typeset it is easily readable.

So there you are!  Thanks Judy R. from Texas for adding to our comprehensive font database.  You can see samples of all of our fonts by visiting our sample fortune pages which can be found on our home page. Thanks for visiting both our website and blog, please feel free to contact us with any questions.  For custom fortune cookies visit our site at www.tankinz.com or email any questions to us at customerservice@tankinz.com.  Thanks!

Use a good text color on your custom fortune cookie message

November 13th, 2008

Today I am going to change the blog up a bit.  In my 2 previous posts I have been quite lengthy describing why and how I got in the fortune cookies making business and a little bit about us. Now my daily blog is going to consist of one tip that you can use in not only choosing your custom message but its appearance.  As always I will also let you view a few of the order we received today and what messages were used.

So we will call this custom fortune cookie #1.

USE A TEXT COLOR OTHER THAN BLACK FOR YOUR MESSAGE. If you are a corporation I can understand using plain old black, it gives the message a professional look and is easy to ready. If you are using the cookies for a wedding, baby shower, birthday etc…. by all means use a fun color.  Maybe one of the colors of your wedding!  You can view some samples of fun custom fortune cookie wedding messages by clicking this link http://www.tankinz.com/weddingideas.htm, the font and color of text used is included.

Orders from today are listed below.  Remember a “/” indicates a line break, and at the bottom of the order where is says “arial bold” is the font that want used and the color of text is next to it. IGNORE THE COMMAS AFTER EACH MESSAGE, THEY DON’T ACTUALL

I make fortune cookies for a living!

November 12th, 2008

It’s hard to believe but it’s true, my career profession (at least for now) is making fortune cookies.  Hardly what youngsters dream of when they grow up.  But to tell you the truth, for the past 3 years I have been doing this there hasn’t been one day that I didn’t look forward to going to work.

My niche with the fortune cookies has become selling custom fortune cookies on the web. Whether its for weddings, corporate events, baby showers, birthdays, etc…  people come to me to get the fortune cookies made with their special message placed inside. When you consider all the other announcemnts, tradeshow giveaways, etc.. fortune cookies are actually a great idea.  Give your guests or clients a treat and leave them with your info at the same time.

My url is www.tankinz.com and thre you can find all sorts of ideas and cookie packages to meet your needs.  It’s actually a pretty slick site and very user friendly. I developed the website and update it myself, it is a fun website, check it out.

The other reason for creating this blog was to give those who are in need of the cookies some ideas in creating thier custom messages.  Though my website (www.tankinz.com) has many custom fortune cookie message idea samples for weddings, baby shower, corporate, religous events, etc… this blog will allow my to give more info.  What I plan on doing is daily posting the orders I received during the day on this blog.  This should be a great benefit for those of you looking for message idea samples.  I will omit the personal info from each order, but include the messages, etc…

So here are the orders from today.  Have at it!  Email me with any questions. customerservice@tankinz.com
This is how to read the custom fortune cookie orders

Fortune4, Delphi Method Team - Got Fortune?
