The most important part of Sticky Fingers Cooking is what you can’t put a logo on—kids tasting new foods for the first time and learning new life skills to prepare food for themselves. Yet it is a business and branding is a factor so that the name makes an impression on people over and over.

At Sticky Fingers Cooking, we have cookbooks, aprons, chef hats, and kid-friendly knives with the company name prominently displayed on each. These items are used in the classrooms and available for franchise owners to buy. Sticky Fingers Cooking is currently working on other branded products and will announce the details when they are available. 

Sticky Fingers Cooking Cookbooks

After years of creating original recipes for kids to use in classrooms, Sticky Fingers Cooking founder and CEO, Erin Fletter, started to compile these in themed books for anyone to buy and try out their culinary preferences.

As of 2024, there are five Sticky Fingers Cooking cookbooks:

Global Taste Buds

Farm to Table

Basic Training Baking Boot Camp

Mug-nificent Meals

Kid Smoothies

All of these books are available on Amazon.com.

“When the pandemic shut down our in-person classes, it was an opportunity for me to tackle those ‘back burner’ projects like a cookbook,” Erin says. “In four years, we got five cookbooks completed!”

There are plans for more cookbooks in the future.

Knives, Aprons, and More!

At Sticky Fingers Cooking, we want kids to feel comfortable in the kitchen using the various tools necessary to create a healthy snack or meal.

In our classes, we provide kid-safe knives that still cut the ingredients effectively. In this way, children can practice chopping, slicing, and mincing with less risk.

In addition, we have kid-sized aprons with the logo front and center. To some people wearing a kitchen apron might just be a cute accessory, but we know that they can keep the splatters on clothing to a minimum. The chef hats are indeed charming and not exactly necessary, though some children like a uniform for the important job of chef.

With all of these items displaying the brand name, kids and their families associate Sticky Fingers Cooking with delicious fun in the kitchen.

Why Branded Products Matter to Our Franchise Owners

When you join a brand as a franchisee, you rely on the strength of the brand name for recognition and quality. In the global economy, people are familiar with brand names that appear in social media feeds and online news articles.

The fact that people can purchase a Sticky Fingers Cooking cookbook on a platform as widely known as Amazon.com creates a greater likelihood that they will trust your business or even heard of it before.

There are many reasons to become a small franchise business owner—more schedule freedom, income potential may be greater than relying on a salary, personal flexibility, pursuing a passion—and at Sticky Fingers Cooking, we strive to provide branded items that will leave a lasting impression.
