2023 Baonding Bites Event

It is often said that baobears have only one true love: food!
However, it is a well documented fact that a baobear's heart is as big as their tummy!
​
Every february, baobears take the time to show love to their special somebaos!
Of course, what better way to do this than by sharing a meal with them?
Thus, a tradition known as Baonding Bites was formed!

💕

There is something in the air... and it smells sweet! Could it be something like love? Or could it be... hang on, has that stand always been there?!

"BUHAHA!" A rather obnoxious laugh rings out through the streets of New Boa City, signalling the presence of one Brezel Baker! She is standing next to a delighted looking Baomeo, her paws crossed one over the other. Behind both of them is a small cart decorated in hearts and ribbons and flowers.

"Do you have somebear special on your mind? Now is your chance to tell them!" Brezel says, addressing any and all passerbaos who'd care to hear her. "If you're looking for the perfect gift this Baonding Bites, you've come to the right place. These treats are the surefire way to any bao's heart," and their wallet, she doesn't say!

Baomeo nods along. "There's nothing quite like a hand-picked gift," they agree, "especially one made and chosen with love! Of course, there is more to Baonding Bites than simple loveletters and treats; though nobao would refuse either!"

"Er, yeah!" Brezels says. "What Baomeo said! But the gifts are pretty im-por-tant, I'd say!"

Baomeo lets out a twinkling laugh. "Perhaps, but not as much as the thought behind it!" With a spin, a flourish, and a love-lorn sigh, Baomeo continues: "Gifts can serve as a symbol of one's most intimate feelings, true, but one must never forget: love takes time, love takes effort, and most of all, love takes two!"
