Personalized Fortune Cookies – Write the Perfect Sayings

a210_c3If you Wrote Fortune Cookie Sayings, What would they be?

Fortune cookies have become inextricably linked with American-Asian food and have infiltrated into popular culture as well. Customized fortune cookies are sent to family and friends for fun. They are often used to propose marriage to a special person. Advertising agencies use them in their campaigns. Fortune cookies, contrary to popular beliefs, are as American today as baseball and apple pies.

Have you been given a fortune cookie while visiting a Chinese restaurant? Chances are that you have wondered about how they manage to slip in that piece of paper into the cookie.

If you have never seen a fortune cookie, let me describe what they are like. They are small, firm golden colored cookies small enough to fit into your palm. What makes them unique is that they are folded in a butterfly shape to create a pocket which holds a ½ x 2” strip of paper “fortune”.

Are you planning to write funny fortunes? It is great fun to write funny and humorous fortunes for fortune cookies especially meant for friends. Write the fortune using your imagination, knowledge of the nature of the recipient and lastly keep the meaning precise and crystal clear.

* Keep in mind your friend’s personality.

When writing a fortune for your friend, keep in mind his or her nature, likes and dislikes.

* Predict fortunes that will take place at the event.

If you have organized a party for friends and plan to serve fortune cookies during the party, then you can write humorous fortunes foreseeing events that take place in the course of the party.

* Write separate fortunes for each visitor.

If you can make the time, writing individual fortunes for your guests is a great idea. Figure out one wish that each of your guests want and tuck that into their cookies. Watch the fun bubbling over during the party as they read their fortunes.

* Convert humorous fortunes into an entertaining game.

Make each fortune in a cookie a command and play a game with fortune cookies at your party. If a person’s fortune reads: wish the birthday girl mimicking a popular star, then that person will have to perform the task.

* Insert tongue twisters in the guise of fortunes.

One rib-tickling idea would be to inscribe the fortunes with tongue twisters. Your guests at a party would have to read out aloud their tongue twisters while eating the cookie. What fun!

* Concise and clear sentence construction.

If the meaning is unclear or the phrase is too long-winded the fortune will cease to be interesting. So remember this during composition. Most fortune cookie fortunes need to be kept to about 22 words max.

* Be equivocal.

If you want to predict some funny, exciting yet likely event, write a generalized fortune. For instance “you will meet an interesting person today” or “tomorrow promises to be an eventful day.” You can’t go wrong with these.

* Rhyming fortune message.

Phrasing the fortune in the form of say a rhyming couplet is a simple yet ingenious touch.

So just abide by the basic guidelines and let your imagination run riot.

How Fortune Cookies Are Made

“How are fortune cookies made?” is a question we get all the time.

It’s actually an ancient Chinese secret… and most of the time I laugh and say “Keebler Elves!” But now I will reveal a few pieces of the puzzle to you.

Fortune Cookies are actually birthed on high speed baking machines. First, our flavored fortune cookie batter is mixed fresh every day for each custom fortune cookies batch. Sorry, no fortune cookie recipes here as it’s our top secret formula! FancyFortuneCookies does use premium ingredients like grade a flour, raw sugar, and eggs. All our flavored fortune cookies are made with super specialized flavorings and food colorings. It took years to develop some of our flavors and our fortune cookies are very recipe specific.

In fact we are continually trying out new flavored fortune cookies to see if we come across something our customers would like. If you have any fortune cookie suggestions please let us know!

The fortune cookie batter is put on into a flat round pancake type shape. Here at FancyFortuneCookies we are a real live fortune cookie bakery. Every order is made fresh the day it ships out. Most of our orders are for custom fortune cookies. But there are many people who still order the Chinese good luck fortunes too. Regardless, we actually bake your fortune cookies right here in Indianapolis, IN.

HandFoldedGGate As the fortune cookie batter goes around the conveyors it is baked. For many years the hot fortune cookies where actually hand-folded while the fortune was slipped inside. But now the personalized fortunes are slipped into the fortune cookies and the folding system is also automated.

After that the fortune cookies need to be cooled, and wrapped. We use an entirely clear cello for our fortune cookies so people can see the colors or the chocolate dipped fortune cookies with sprinkles.

Many fortune cookie companies on the internet don’t actually make your fortune cookies. Often they are just re-selling someone else cookies, so to compete on price with the middle-man markups, they have to use ingredients that aren’t a good quality. Which is why most fortune cookies taste so bad. If you are ordering chocolate dipped fortune cookies with personalized messages, the fortune cookies are being made at one location and shipped unwrapped to another location, where they are finally dipped, sprinkled and wrapped.

FancyFortuneCookies New Gourmet Flavors

FancyFortuneCookies taste so good because they are baked fresh daily, dipped in chocolate, and wrapped all in the same day.

There’s a little glimpse into how fortune cookies are made!

Fortune Cookies Make Halloween a PR Treat for Your Blog

flavoredfortunecookiesThis past year FancyFortuneCookies has been working with tons of bloggers. All the bloggers have been doing such a great job reviewing our personalized fortune cookies and giant fortune cookies that I thought I would give them a little treat back.

Halloween, trick-or-treaters, we all pass out tons of candy. Especially if we live in a neighborhood with lots of kids. So why not pass out fun candy but also use it as an opportunity to broaden your business or blog base? If you are a blogger or a business owner that provides useful services to families and parents here’s an idea to get your name out there while passing out treat to the kiddos. And this way you won’t be the neighborhood dentist who inevitably gives out toothbrushes instead of candy… Party Poopers.

Personalized fortune cookies give you a chance to put a message about your blog or business and pass them out to the parents as the kids grab their candies. Since you can get 100 personalized fortune cookies for $38-$48 they aren’t going to break the bank, and you can even get them in flavors and colors. Kids love the orange by the way.

With creative little messages inside like, “Save a fortune, win a giveaway! Visit http://www.YourBlogAddressHere.com” or “Great products for moms, great giveaways to save you a fortune! http://www.YourBlogAddressHere.com” you are pretty much guaranteed to get a little boost in traffic and readership. Just by letting people in your own community know what you are doing. Communicating it in a fun and unique way is always a bonus. Believe it or not, personalized fortune cookies get a 92% read rate. Think about it, have you ever come across a fortune cookie and NOT cracked it open to see what your fortune was???

FancyFortuneCookies can also be a great way to promote your business. Back to the dentist with the toothbrushes… (Yes, we have one of those in our neighborhood.) What if you hand out a fortune cookie with a cute message inside like, “Our fortune is invested in your smile. New patients receive a free teeth whitening kit! Call Dr. Angela Greenaway, D.D.S 321-123-4321”.

With personalized fortune cookies, you can still have a bowl of Halloween candy for the kids and pass out the fortune cookies to the parents. I know when I go trick-or-treating with my daughter this year, I’ll be the one eating the treats. So if anyone hands me an orange fortune cookie personalized with their info, I’ll be the one reading it. Much better than handing a 15 month old little girl a toothbrush!

Juicy Couture Fortune Cookies

You may be thinking that personalized fortune cookies aren’t a promotional item that is right for your business. Or that fortune cookies aren’t an effective way to engage your customers and promote your brand. Both of these assumptions would be incorrect.

FancyFortuneCookies aren’t your plain traditional fortune cookies. As a result businesses that use our flavored fortune cookies receive a better response from customers and clients because of the uniqueness of the cookies. Fortune Cookies receive a 92% read rate according to Wharton School of Business. Imagine that! 92% of the people that get a fortune cookie from your business will read the fortune and see your sales message. Some studies say that as many as 97% of people read a fortune cookie fortune.

Juicy Couture has ordered from FancyFortuneCookies more than once. Here are photos of how they incorporated the cookies into their store.


The employees carried silver trays with the fortune cookies on them. Inside the cookies were messages to the customers about their latest product promotions. Some even offered discounts if a purchase was made that day. It went over so well, Juicy Couture is placing their second order for fortune cookies with us. They didn’t go to a different company, they stayed with us. Why? Because we take care of our clients from beginning to end.

Fortune Cookies personalized with your sayings can be very effective when used to promote your business, services, products, and even your blog. Have you ever been able to resist opening up a fortune cookie, tugging the little fortune out and reading what fate has in store for you? I haven’t. I read them all the time. When the fortunes are especially clever or meaningful I save them. I have a whole collection of fortune cookie sayings and I’m even surrounded by fortune cookies all day long.

Custom fortune cookies can be used to promote a specific product. Mention the selling points on the fortunes. “Did you know the Audi A4 receives 5 stars in all crash test rating areas? Ask about a test drive today.” Personalized fortune cookies can help you to “sell yourself.” “Sandy Johnson has sold over 500 homes in 2009 alone. I would be so fortune-ate for my next sale to be yours!” Promote your business with a clever fortune cookie saying or special discount. “You are fortune-ate! Present this fortune for 10% off any purchase today!” You can even use personalized fortune cookies to promote your personal blog!

When looking for ideas on what type of messages to use, we are here to help. In 20 years of business we have encountered many different businesses and have become experts at meeting our clients needs and helping our clients create effective fortune cookie messages and fortune cookie campaigns.

Martha Stewart Uses Custom Fancy Fortune Cookies

Martha Stewart Uses Fancy Fortune Cookies

Martha Stewart Uses Fancy Fortune Cookies

This morning Martha Stewart on the Martha Stewart Show interviewed Jennifer 8 Lee, the author of New York Times bestseller Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food. Jennifer Lee talked about fortune cookies in her book and needed a custom fortune cookie for Martha to open and read at the end of the segment.

Read More about it HERE.

Since Jennifer 8 Lee interviewed and even visited a few different fortune cookie companies for her book, she contacted at least 3 of those companies to get the  custom cookies she needed for the show. The only company that called her back was Fancy Fortune Cookies.

Fancy Fortune Cookies created a custom message for Martha Stewart to open and read on her show. The fortune saying entitled the audience to a free $25.00 lunch at Chinatown Brasserie in downtown New York. Then baked and shipped the custom fortune cookies the same day! Talk about a great fortune cookie coupon.

Fancy Fortune Cookies is a small family owned fortune cookie bakery that specializes in flavored and colored fortune cookies. They also have the largest fortune cookie in America. Their giant fortune cookies are all hand made fresh to order and weigh over ONE POUND. Giant fortune cookies make a great edible gift for all types of occasions.

Both Martha Stewart and Martha Stewart Weddings have used custom fortune cookies by Fancy Fortune Cookies. We have also done fortune cookies for Oprah, Donald Trump, Jennifer Love Hewitt, The Osborns, the Grammy’s, and many other celebrities.

But most importantly are our customers like you. Here we try to give everyone the celebrity treatment. Custom fortune cookies make a great addition to most parties and events and are an economical favor choice since they start at only $38.00 for 100 custom fortune cookies.

We’ve helped the Martha Stewart show, now let us help you!

Thanks Jennifer for letting us provide the cookies for your appearance on the Martha Stewart Show. And congratulations on the success of your book!

Also, thank you to the producers of the Martha Stewart Show for letting us supply the cookies!

Mardi Gras Celebration Ideas

Mardi Gras King Cake

Mardi Gras King Cake

Since I brought a very large King Cake into the office today, and have been munching on it throughout the day, I am doing a Mardi Gras post. Happy Fat Tuesday!!!!!

Here are some fun and unique ideas to incorporate into any Mardi Gras celebration.

Try a unique invite to your party. Sometimes especially on festive occasions, you need a unique invite for your guests. Consider personalized fortune cookies as a unique way to send out your invites. Fancy Fortune Cookies even has Mardi Gras colors in fortune cookies. Yellow is a Lemon cookie, Green can be Mint, and Purple is a Fruit Punch flavor.

Since the cookies come with your sayings inside, you can write the info for your party. When, Where, RSVP, and Dress!

If you don’t think they are the right invite, then consider using them at your party. They can be filled with fun stuff to inspire conversation – like at a mixer. Or even fun Mardi Gras facts! You can even use them as little take-home favors for all of your guests.

Maybe you aren’t throwing the party but have been invited and don’t want

Giant Mardi Gras Fortune Cookie

Giant Mardi Gras Fortune Cookie

to show up empty handed. Perhaps you need to send a fun thank you gift. A giant Mardi Gras fortune cookie with a custom message inside makes a great gift for the host or hostess.

The Giant Mardi Gras Fortune cookie even makes a great centerpiece. If you are having a costume competition then it can even be a prize for the winner.

There you have it, Mardi Gras custom fortune cookies.

Now go eat some king cake.
