Hello! The Pudding Party Collection campaign has successfully ended! Thank you so much to everyone who pledged, we were able to unlock a handful of things during the campaign including the Pudding Bag, 4th enamel pin, and 2 new colorways: Pink & Mint!
Backerkit has started processing payments and will continue to do so for the next week, please make sure to check if your pledge's payment processes successfully. Pledges that are not updated with unfortunately be considered abandoned and then cancelled.
Surveys have now been sent! Please fill it out, it will help me get an idea of how much inventory to order for each colorway and design. Backers who chose Pay Over Time during the campaign, you will not receive the survey until after your payment plan is completed. Once your installments are completed, Backerkit will automatically send the survey to you!
If you missed the crowdfund but are still interested in the products of this campaign, I've opened the Pre-Order Shop! Everything that was unlocked during the campaign is available to Pre-Order until June where all additional inventory counts should be locked by that point.
if you have any issues with your survey or any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you!
hello everyone! with our campaign launching in just four days, I wanted to share some extra photos and info with you guys!
as a reminder, we're part of the fur & food pintopia collaboration - if you back our project and two others, you'll get a free sticker from each of the projects you backed!
you'll also be able to purchase a cottagecore critters enamel pin (from our last campaign) as an addon! returning backers will get an extra mini pin of their choice added to their orders at no cost.
I am slowly working on surveys. Formulating survey questions, setting up weights and postage rules, all the boring-but-necessary admin stuff. I'll be setting up the Pre-Order store for those of you who didn't have a chance to back during the project, too.
I'll be preparing the pin files this week and sending those off for production as well.
Plush prototypes sent for production
This past week I sent the payment for prototypes on the Mint Chocoturtle and Berry Chocoturtle designs. :) I hope to hear back from the factory within 2-3 weeks and will keep everyone updated once I have new photos to share!
International Shipping updates
Due to Spanish postal service Correos changing their shipping rules on January 1st, 2026, I unfortunately had to increase my shipping prices and logistics. Packages used to be classified as letters (which meant super cheap shipping), but with the new rule this is no more. All packages headed for international destinations must be sent as PAQ Light.
Shipping to EU countries has a rate of $18-22USD via the Spanish postal service, Correos. I expect most packages will fall into the 250g/$18 rate. I will ship your packages from my home in Spain. I know this is substantially more than it used to cost, but after exploring many options, it seems this one is still the best. At least this way you will not be charged customs fees.
Shipping to Canada is $18 and to AU/NZ/UK/everywhere else is $20USD. All packages headed to these destinations will ship from my US warehousing partner, White Squirrel. Shipping your packages myself to both destinations from the EU was a few dollars more, so I decided to pass along the savings instead.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this may cause.
Please let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment. I hope to share pics of the new cuties with you soon!
Good morning everyone! Just popping in to remind you to please fill out your survey if you haven't already! I use the information in the surveys to decide how many pins and stickers I need to order, so I need everyone to fill them out ASAP so I can tell my manufacturer how many of each design we need.
There are still quite a few of you with failed payments as well, so please check your survey to make sure your credit card was processed! You can check this by going to your profile (upper right corner on the website) and clicking on "Your Pledges and Surveys" then finding the Beetle Bakery. If your payment isn't or can't be processed, I will have to cancel your pledge and you won't receive any of your items.
If you recently paid off your card or got a new one, please check that BackerKit has the right number!
For folks who only backed the support tier ($1), I have updated your surveys so if you don't add anything to your pledge, you won't be charged for shipping. If you backed this tier, you won't receive any items, including the 'freebie' stickers you may have qualified for since this tier does not come with any physical rewards. If you wanted to add anything to your pledge in the survey, you can still do that and receive the campaign bonuses, but this is only if you add additional items and pay for shipping.
For anyone curious, here are the most popular pin designs right now: 1. Bread Beetle (43) 2. Mini Snail (39) 3. Croissant-opod (35) 4. Icecream Sandwich Beetle (29) 5. Maple Log Millipede (26) 6. Boston Cream Dougnut Spider (25) 7. Challah Centipede (24) 8. Cinnamon Roll Snail (22) 9. Pretzel Worm (22) 10. Sourdough Spider (19)
That's all for now! If you have any questions please let me know, and thank you all again for your love and support with this project :)
Since the campaign has ended and we officially transitioned to the survey phase, I just wanted to check in with everyone and share some information about what's going on behind the scenes. ✨
As you all know, we have reached the 2.000€ mark with the campaign and thus, unlocked all designs for production (THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!) 🥹💗 While the data for your individual orders are being collected through the survey system, the design files are being finalized to be submitted to the manufacturers as soon as possible (aka as soon as all surveys have been filled out ☺️) //Also, HUGE SHOUTOUT to my dearest Bunny&Tea for being the greatest help in setting up vector files. QwQ You are the best~!!💖//
That being said, production is getting closer and closer, as we are currently at a survey completion rate of 86%!💕 Only 10 people are missing at this point in time, so I hope this update might reach you out there as a small reminder to check our inbox (and potentially spam.....although I hope it didn't end up there haha) :3
I am still in utter disbelief that the campaign has grown the way it did and feel very excited about starting production soon 😭 Once again, thank you so much to everyone of you out there making all of this possible💖
Hope to hit you with a new update soon~! Until then,
I am very sorry for the delay in getting Surveys sent after the Boba Buddy Series 2 project ended!! My boyfriend moved the end of February, which is when the Surveys were initially supposed to be sent!! We were very busy with the last-minute packing and then the move itself + unpacking!! The first few things we unpacked was my computer!!
All Surveys are now SENT!! If you selected Pay Over Time for your pledge you will not receive a Survey until ALL payments have been sent!!
Please send in your Survey responses by April 1st!! With the Surveys I will be able to count the quantities of items I need for everyone, and I'll be able to order the merch!! 💖💖
I am waiting on receiving sample photos of the Wolf, Bat, and Calico Cat Boba Buddies! My manufacturer just came back from vacation and they've let me know I should be getting the photos very soon! I will post an Update when I receive those photos as well as the revisions I'm planning on getting!!
Thank you all SO so much for being so patient, I apologize that I was a lil MIA for a bit of time! We've settled in now so I will be able to be online more and answer any questions, etc.!!
Love, Benji
P.S. Did you want to support the project but didn't manage to pledge while it was live? No worries! The Preorder Shop is still open!! Anyone who missed pledging to the campaign can still grab merch/bags via the Preorder Shop!!
The Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag is also available on the Preorder Shop!! Similar to the campaign's Stretch Goals, we need to reach a certain number of Orders to unlock the bag!! Currently we have 7 Orders out of the 24 we need!! It is also possible to add on the Rainbow Tiger bag to your Surveys!! If we do not reach the 24 Orders I will be contacting Backerkit staff to remove the bags from Surveys/Preorders!
I am here with some good... and with some slightly bad updates!
Surveys & Pre-order store
I am here to remind you that it's last 3 days to fill-out surveys! I am still missing responses from 13 of you! It's also last 3 days to order anything from the pre-order store!
After this date, I will be locking every pledge & order and will be finalizing orders for my manufacturers!
Pay-over-time
For my pay-over-time backers – as you might have noticed, you haven't received your surveys yet... This is because Backerkit sends it either when the pledge is fully paid-for, or 4 months after the first charge happened. If I counted right, you should expect your surveys around middle of June! (Thank you to the backer who asked me about this!!!)
Fox Socks remain locked
As for the bad news... the new fox socks haven't hit the new lower order goal of 10 (as of writing this update), so I will be removing them the same day I will be locking orders.
Hi guys! There's about 15 of you who still have not filled out your surveys - and in terms of funding, we haven't yet gotten the $1000 that we need to fulfill the project. Please fill out your surveys if you have not already. Please note we cannot make or ship anything until we hit that $1000. If you want to support us but missed the campaign, the preorder store is open!
It has been a few days since we last saw each other! During that time, most of you filled-in your surveys – thank you so much for that!
Right now, there are last 8 days to fill them in/change anything in them and order from the pre-order store!
And as I mentioned in the previous update, here are some updates on the unlockable products: Sakura Fairies are FUNDED! They are actually even over-funded, haha. Thank you so much for everyone who showed them love ♥ As for the socks... they are not funded, but 7/17 orders were reached! So I was thinking... if we do hit 10 orders, I will make them nonetheless and just fund the rest myself! ♥
I bet most of you saw this already, but I have planned a new fox campaign for the end of March, Gaming Foxes! It's gonna be a small campaign of 5 designs, but believe me – they are absolutely adorable ♥ These will be available as stickers, prints and enamel pins! AND! –> if you back it, you can join the reward from Café Foxes with this one! So you save up on the shipping fees 😎
