November's Business of the Month: Mints 'N More, LLC

Another business was celebrating its one-year anniversary in the Brick District, and this month it was Mints 'N More. Originally located on the north end of Fulton under the name Cake Creations, the company moved to its new location at 518 Court Street, and the new name was Mints 'N More. The owner, Lanette Kielbasa, changed the name to Mints 'N More as a way of paying tribute to the cream cheese mint recipe she got from her mother.

If you have not had the chance to order from Mints 'N More, there is no better time than now. They offer a number of products, including:

• Cookies
• Wedding Cakes
• Assorted Treats
• Traditional Cakes
• Cake Boxes
• Decorations (sprinkles, flavorings, ribbons)

For Black Friday, Mints 'N More offered their delicious homestyle cookies, as well as an even sweeter deal. The bakery was offering 25% off Christmas cookie orders, and may still run the deal thorugh the early part of this week, so make sure to stop by or give them a call to inquire about it.
