Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes, Taste of Home Partner for Holiday Event

This holiday season, Taste of Home, the digital-first lifestyle and food brand, teamed up with Kelsey Elizabeth, a content creator and founder of the Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes brand, for a festive celebration. Hundreds of home bakers gathered to sample, exchange and indulge in an incredible assortment of 20,000 homemade cookies at the second annual event.  

The highly anticipated Cookie Exchange was held at the Gordon Green in Cleveland on Dec. 5. The sold-out event celebrated the spirit of community and holiday cheer and connected local bakers through their shared love of baking and favorite recipes.  

For Trusted Media Brands, the parent company of Taste of Home, the event highlighted its dedication to showcasing and curating recipes from local communities, creating immersive experiences that deepen connections with their audience.    

"Kelsey Elizabeth has built an incredible brand rooted in creativity and connection, and we couldn't be more excited to partner with her," says Michael Boccacino, vice president, marketing, Trusted Media Brands. "Her passion for creating joyful experiences aligns perfectly with Taste of Home's mission to celebrate community and bring people together through food. This event is a wonderful opportunity to bring our magazine to life and create unforgettable moments for the Cleveland community."

Taste of Home plans to feature content from the event across its media platforms, including a showcase of the evening's top cookie recipes. Additional event sponsors include Plugra, the premium European butter.
