🟠 The 2026 Vendy Blendy - What you need to know.

In this week's Baking it Down Podcast - Episode 286 - The 2026 Vendy Blendy, it's that time of year where we talk all things Vendy Blendy that is only a mere 2 weeks away! This year, the lineup of shops is delicious, the door prizes are decadent, and the vibes are delirious (had to for the "d" adjectives) - it's setting up to be a blast! If you're new here - here's what you need to know:

➡️ The annual Vendy Blendy is a one-day online shopping event for cookiers taking place in a Facebook Group that exists for only 24 hours. Vendys (vendors) will offer 25% off their entire shop (or more if they're feelin' givey) for 24 hours, meaning great deals on cutters, baking supplies, merch, meringue, and… the list is endless.➡️ You’re a Pendy until the clock strikes midnight on Thanksgiving (EST). Then you become a Spendy (a person who has never heard of the word budget) who can shop the sales for the next 24 hours.➡️ To get the discounts, request to join the Vendy Blendy Facebook Group before November 27th.

 🧡 How it Works

For 24 hours, bakers around the world can shop dozens and dozens of bakery-themed shops and get 25% off (or more). If that's not sweet enough, throughout those 24 hours, there will be dozens of door prizes that require no purchase to enter (more on that below)!  

Why does it work? Because when thousands of bakers get together to shop dozens of bakery-related shops, everyone wins. The shops sell more, the bakers get better deals, and all the Vendy registration dollars go to really neat BIG door prizes (yes, the Vendys pay to sell to you at a discount).️ And when the clock strikes midnight? It'll be as if the event never even happened when everything disappears (your wallet does happen to remember lol).

🧡 Door Prizes

A fun added bonus of the Vendy Blendy is the Door Prizes. 🎊🎉 Door Prizes are offered by both the event (we call these the BIG Door Prizes), and prizes are also optional for Vendys to offer as well. Door Prizes can be anything cookie-related - but most shops will give away something their shop sells (think cookie-cutter bundles, gift cards, free tees or scribes, memberships, etc). 

🚪 No purchase required to enter.🚪 Do not have to be present to claim.🚪 Must claim within 7 days of the event.

The best part about all of the door prizes? 🚫 They require no purchase to enter to win. That means you can spend $0 on Black Friday (good luck with that) and still have every chance to win a Door Prize. Entries can require you to sign up for an email list or follow an account on social media, but none can make you spend money to enter. 

This year - we're giving away TWENTY Bambu A1 Minis! 

Our Vendys are what make the Vendy Blendy happen! Thank you so much to them for putting their cookie money where their mouth is. You can find that list at http://thevendys.com
