Blogged by Chicago Sun-Times

I just found this randomly somehow - Cloud Top was 1 of 4 highlighted companies/products covered in this write up on Chicago Sun-Times' blog section by Janet Fuller (Chicago Sun-Times Food Editor)

She was a sweet person and genuinely took to our frozen yogurt. Check out the story below -


Four things from the All Things Organic trade show and conference, which wrapped up today at McCormick Place:

* You won't find Cloud Top frozen yogurt in stores, nor will you find a Cloud Top store anywhere yet. And that's a bummer.

* Kathy Kim, an affable young mom from Pasadena, lives in the land of Pinkberrys and Red Mangos. She admits she "very quickly" became a fan of the nouveau yogurt shops, as did her two sons. But there was always a certain creaminess missing from the hyped-up yogurt. With her background in food development and marketing, she figured she could fill in the blanks.

She quit her job in 2007 and starting making what she calls a "fortified dessert." Whereas other fro-yos start with a powdered yogurt base, Cloud Top starts with, well, yogurt. And while others are bright white and watery and leave an aftertaste, Kim's is a creamy, cream-colored treat with a pleasant vanilla tang.

For now, Kim is trying to find distributors to get her product into those same Pinkberrys that inspired her.
