Winnie Maher opened the doors for the first time March 1, 1977 with an unyielding vision. Her daughter Kim has taken over the management for Maher’s Florist and is carrying on the strong vision and tradition set in motion by her mother.

That vision is to provide superior customer service and creating unique and distinct designs. Maher’s Florist is a loyal supporter of local flower growers and uses locally produced flowers as frequently as they are available.

Our talented staff has a deep passion and love for flowers. Each with over 20 years of design expertise. Our designers are eager to help you create a lasting impression for any occasion. Maher’s Florist serves numerous markets in the Pasadena Maryland area including Gibson Island, Glen Burnie, Linthicum, Millersville, Severn, Severna Park, Brooklyn, Hanover, Harmans and Curtis Bay, Arnold, Annapolis and most Baltimore zip codes.

Recently, Maher’s Florist management hired Flyline Search Marketing to manage their online marketing and sales platform. In addition, the Flyline team just completed a make over of the the Maher’s Florist website.  Enhancements to floral product displays and ease of navigation were made.  Flyline has worked with florists throughout  the United States and produced tremendous sales growth for these florists.

Another great thing about Flyline is they bring a comprehensive approach to the table. They will help to develop lead streams while also reducing dependence on wire orders. They will manage social media, build brand recognition and enhance index information with the search engines. One of the greatest things customers have expressed about Flyline Search Marketing is their humble, dedicated and customer first approach. As the CEO Mark Lein likes to say, “we always put the customer first”.

Fruits and Sweets Christmas Basket

Holiday Treat Favorites

Christmas season offers so many delicious foods and sweet treats. Do you remember your mom or grandma making a batch of fudge, divinity or those yummy little wedding cookies with pecan pieces and coated with powdered sugar? It is so heart warming to give a gift of holiday treats to someone and see the excitement on their face. I began to wonder, what are some of the favorite holiday treats in other parts of the world. Doing a little research yielded some interesting results.

• Eggnog – If you live in the USA, chances are that someone will hand you a tasty cup or glass of Eggnog during this season. It has been referred to as the nectar of the Gods! Often it is accompanied with a touch of brandy, rum or bourbon. The main ingredients are milk, cream, whipped eggs, sugar and spices.  Not a low calorie beverage but it is enjoyed by many and sold in estimated quantities of 130 million pounds each year.
• Buche de Noel – The French translation is ‘Yule Log’. A yummy dessert of sponge cake filled butter cream icing and covered with decadent chocolate icing.  Sometimes it is even dusted with powdered sugar.
• Stollen –   This sweet bread, a favorite holiday treat in Germany, is eaten during the entire Christmas season. It is full of sweet raisins, dried fruit, chopped candied, nuts, cinnamon and cardamom.
• Panettone – This Italian sweet bread originated in the city of Milan. It comes in cylindrical shape and has candied orange or lemon plus raisins. Sometimes people add chocolate to the recipe.
• Mince Pies – These desserts are made from dried mixed fruit, brandy and spices. Kind of like the American Fruit Cake, these small Mince Pies are not a favorite in their home land of Australia.
• Pavlova – This New Zealand holiday treat is actually enjoyed at other times in the year as well as Christmas. It consists of a meringue-based cake that has a delicate, flaky and crunchy crust but inside is a delicious cream filling. Many times it is topped with strawberries and kiwi fruit.
• Apple Cider – Not a much better holiday treat to get you in the Christmas spirit than a warm cup of Apple Cider. In Canada folks are serious about their Apple Cider.  They also have versions  served with the addition of cinnamon, orange peel, nutmeg, cloves and other spices. These are referred to as Mulled.
• Christmas Pudding – Sometimes topped off with a sprig of holly, this boiled cake with dried fruit and spice is a favorite in Britain. Ingredients in the recipe date back for generations and include treacle, molasses, citrus juice or brandy.
• Turron – When in Spain for Christmas you will find a traditional treat called Turron. The Spanish translation is nougat. This confectionary treat is made up of honey, sugar and egg whites, mixed with toasted almonds, pine nuts or hazelnuts. You can get it hard and crunchy or soft and chewy. It is a favorite Christmas confectionary treat in Spain and actually other parts of Europe. The bite size pieces make it a favorite for popping in your mouth while you celebrate.
• Natilla – Similar to flan, which most of us are familiar with, Natilla is sweet and little bit spicy. Popular in Colombian, this Christmas pudding gets native Columbians in the spirit of Christmas.  The custard is eaten fried dough balls and pastry filling or in Columbia they are called bunuelos and manjar blanco.
• Allahabadi Cake –  Named after the city of Allahabad, this Indian cake is similar to the American fruitcake. Although similar to fruitcake, it differs in that it has the addition of marmalade, nuts, ginger and fennel. The Christian population cooks and serves Allahabadi Cake during Christmastide.
• Makowiec – Some people compare this traditional Polish treat to a poppy seed Swiss Role. It is a Sweet yeast bread that is wrapped around a dense, bittersweet poppy seed or walnut filling
• Gingerbread – A delightful and well know tradition, Gingerbread is so awesome. In Sweden it is a favorite Christmas treat. The Gingerbread there comes in the form of  biscuits that are thin and crispy. They are spiced with ginger, cinnamon and cloves and often cut into basic shapes such as love hearts or stars.
