Swiss Colony’s New Products Take Traditional Flavors to New Heights

MONROE, Wis., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Over 50 years ago, The Swiss Colony bakery was born with the arrival of highly skilled Meister Konditors from Austria, also known as “Master Bakers.” These Master Bakers spent many years perfecting Swiss Colony’s unique pastries and candies by combining their skills with fresh Wisconsin butter, eggs, superior chocolate and other fine ingredients. Their tradition continues today with eight new delicious products!


Among this year’s offerings are a Santa-inspired cake with five layers of white cake and four layers of smooth butter crème filling, an eggnog cheesecake, a sugar-free Chocoholics survival kit, whimsical milk chocolate reindeers and Swiss Crème Santas filled with peanut filling as well as other mouthwatering holiday treats.

The Gingerbread House Donation Project — 200,000 houses in 20 years


With every sweet dessert enjoyed by customers, a child’s holiday season can also become sweetened by “giving through gifting.” It’s never easy for a child to be hospitalized anytime, but it’s particularly rough during the holiday season. That’s why The Swiss Colony, in partnership with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI), conceived the customer-participation Gingerbread House program — to help make the holidays bright for children in need at over 200 children’s hospitals nationwide.


Every time someone orders a designated gingerbread house donation gift box of petits fours from The Swiss Colony catalog or Web site, a hand-decorated Gingerbread House is sent — in the recipient’s name — to brighten a child’s holiday. The Swiss Colony will let your gift recipient know that a Gingerbread House has been sent to a child in need, in their name, at your request. Plus, a “Thank You” card will be sent to your gift recipient from the hospital to recognize their gifts to these special children.


The Swiss Colony has been helping children in need and their families across the United States celebrate the holidays since 1986. The Swiss Colony and NACHRI have distributed more than 200,000 gingerbread houses since the program began.
