Former Barter-Pro Sondra Ames Teams With Daughter Allison To Create
National Footprint For Their Wonderland Bakery
Sandra Ames was a driving force with husband Mike Ames in building
TradeAmericanCard back in the early ‘90s. After going out on her
own, and subsequently selling her trade exchange to ITEX, she left
the barter industry. Then in 2005, joining forces with her culinary
award-winning daughter Allison Ames, they launched Wonderland
Bakery.
Wonderland is a high-end bakery and gift concierge business,
offering an array of highly customizable gourmet cookies, cupcakes,
cakes, chocolate-dipped treats and whimsical gifts, which are
available at the flagship Newport Beach location, or via nationwide
shipping.
The firm is on its way to becoming a national brand through its
strategic partnership with Errand Solutions, a Chicago-based company
providing on-site concierge services to more than 300 corporate and
hospital sites nationwide. (Wonderland launched the partnership in
February 2008, leading with a successful beta site at Irvine-based
Allergan, Inc.)
In just over two years, Wonderland has earned such titles as “Bakery
to the Stars” and “Official Sweet Ambassador of Newport Beach.” In
2007 the company celebrated its second anniversary with partnerships
with the giant toy-company GUND and Department 56.
