20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY
We're throwing one heck of a shindig, and you're invited. Come celebrate 20 years of delicious confections and amazing customers with us on October 24, 2026 from 4-10pm. Kids under 10 are free, with the “kids time” being 4-6pm - we’ll have th balloon twisting, face painting, and pumpkin painting during that time! Smoque BBQ is going to cook us up some meats, definitely porchetta and what else will we decide to grill out back? Our fantastic co-worker Mary will be making all of the sides, while our co-worker Michaela and production manager Katherine will be making a celebration cake. It’s a feast fit for kings, queens, and everyone in between.
ACTIVITIES
- Smoque BBQ will be roasting up some porchetta out back at the Irving Park shop. Enjoy sides from our very own Mary Moore
- Beer from Begyle Brewing: we’ve designed our very own beer! We think it’s pretty tasty: come try it out
- Wine and a N/A cocktail will be available!
- Book swap: share cookbooks or food-related books, or heck just a book you enjoyed and are ready to pass on
- Chocolate demos: Katherine Hall will be demonstrating chocolate molding, filling and capping. Will we get to eat the bonbons she creates? Time will tell
- Roll your own truffles to take home with you: mix and match ganache & toppings and create your own flavor!

- Kids 10 and under are free!
- Balloon twisting, face painting, pumpkin painting 4-6pm during “kids time"
Have we mentioned we’ve been working with 9 local chefs to create a 54-piece “best of KAC” box ? You’ll find some of our best sellers, some favorites from years past, and 13 totally new treats created with our team and some pretty cool local chefs. AND we’re donating $25 from each box to a fantastic local organization that teaches kids in disadvantaged neighborhoods how to cook.
Thanks to Chicago (and beyond) for supporting us through the last 20 wild years!
