About Jar Joy
Discover our story at Jar Joy and how our mission to provide the world with moments of joy in each of our packaged desserts has fueled our success since 2014.
Our Mission
Jar Joy started with a simple mission: to provide the world with moments of joy through innovative desserts that make people happy. That was our mission when we started in 2014, and it still is today.
We believe whipping up exceptional flavor, premium ingredients and unique concepts “bake” for the best desserts possible. That’s why we are committed to this recipe for success in every jar we create.
And because we value quality over quantity so highly, our desserts are perfectly portioned into convenient jars to offer a totally satisfying treat without the guilt of overindulging.
Our Story
The Jar Joy story begins with a single chef — Sarah Hunte (founder) — who started it all from scratch with her love for baking cupcakes.
Once her cupcake business really started to take flight, Sarah opened two brick-and-mortar cupcake shop locations with her husband Shaun, which they would later trade in to create Jar Joy.
Through years of experience working with sweets, Sarah and Shaun saw how customers responded passionately to both traditional favorites and new combinations of familiar flavors. It was this experience that would later ignite their passion for creating desserts that would rekindle fond memories for many and create new ones for many others.
Today, dessert lovers everywhere can enjoy Jar Joy’s perfectly packaged mini indulgences in a growing variety of delicious and clean-ingredient flavors.
Quality Ingredients in Every Bite
At Jar Joy, we believe indulging in something sweet shouldn’t come with a feeling of guilt. That’s why all Jar Joy pre-portioned products are created with quality, clean and health-conscious ingredients — so you can just enjoy it. And with our thoughtfully designed packaging, you’ll always have full transparency as to what's inside each jar.
Each jar of joy contains premium ingredients like:
- Whole milk
- Real cocoa powder
- Real butter
- Real fruit preserves
All of our delectable desserts offer quality-made, portion-controlled indulgence that leave you feeling satisfied and guilt-free after eating.
Sustainability Top 5 Initiatives
Wastewater Management:
1. Our facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant specifically designed to remove fats, oils, and greases from our wastewater before it is sent to municipal treatment facilities. This not only helps in reducing the environmental burden on local water treatment infrastructure but also ensures that we adhere to environmental compliance standards..
Energy Efficiency
2. To minimize our energy consumption and enhance efficiency, our entire building is fitted with LED lighting systems. These systems are automated to ensure that lights are only on, when necessary, significantly reducing our energy usage and contributing to our overall energy conservation efforts.
Vertical Integration of Packaging:
3. Vertical Integration of Packaging: We have vertically integrated the production of our core packaging item, the plastic cup. This internal production eliminates the need to transport cups from external suppliers, thereby reducing our carbon footprint associated with transportation emissions.
Ingredient Optimization:
4. To reduce waste and lower the emissions linked to transporting heavier, bulkier materials, many of our ingredients are processed into powder form instead of liquid. This change not only decreases the overall weight and volume of shipments but also enhances the efficiency of our logistics.
Sustainable Packaging Materials:
5. All our jars are recycling friendly. All our cardboard packaging is made from 100% recycled material. This initiative reduces the need for virgin paper production, which is often associated with higher energy and water usage and greater environmental impact.
Our Global commitment is to relentlessly pursue ongoing improvements to business processes,practices, and quality of delivering joy in our jars without negatively impacting the environment andlocal communities we operate in.Jar Joy Management Team, Company & Culture.
