A couple of weeks ago we told you that local bakers Embrace Sweets were planning to open a retail gig in Over-the-Rhine.  Well, we had the pleasure of meeting with Brandi from Embrace recently and found out a little more about their plans to bring fresh brownies to the Gateway Quarter.  

Embrace was started in 2003 by Sandra and Brandi Daniels as a way to "get out of the corporate world" and do what they loved.  So, Sandra built on her cooking background and started baking....and baking, and baking.  However, they wanted to make sure their sweets not only were high quality, but 100% natural.  Cheap, unhealthy ingredients "were never an option."  Said Brandi, "We use the ingredients our grandparents used...ingredients you can pronounce."  The duo quickly expanded, offering scones, cookies, and buckeyes, but they are known above all for their brownies.  And brownies are what you will find when they open up this Spring.
