Celebs love Friandise!

Recently, we had the opportunity to deliver cupcakes and Kirbycakes out to one of our favorite shows: Jimmy Kimmel Live! Who sent these delicious treats, you ask? That's right, none other than The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They were devoured quickly--who can blame the JKL crew?

So of course we sent off some Kirbycakes to The Daily Show--all the way from LA to New York City! The verdict? "They were a hit!" It was our pleasure, Jon!

We also recently had the opportunity to provide cupcakes for the beautiful Julianne Hough. As you can see, she loved our cupcakes!

We have also been the cupcake go-to gals for a Jennifer Love Hewitt photoshoot. We made a little figurine of Jennifer to go with the cupcakes--so cute!

A beautiful cake we did for the lovely Valery Ortiz' birthday:

What's a Kirbycake?

We have been busier than ever this week (thank you wonderful customers!) preparing for weddings and event orders, but let's take a break from the hustle and bustle to take a look at our favorite new sweet treat.

Last week I promised some words about the fabulous Kirbycake, so here we go. We have a love for nostalgic desserts here at Friandise. Many of you have had our "Classic Lunchbox" cupcake at the Farmer's Market. It is a throwback to the 2-pack of cupcakes from Hostess we used to enjoy as kids.

So Kirby decided to make another classic treat, but Kirbystyle. Remember Ding Dongs? So do we! Kirby used Red Velvet cake to sandwich cream cheese frosting with a bit of boysenberry jam inside. Then she dipped it in yummy imported dark chocolate and voila! A star was born, namely the Red Kirby. The snack we all loved as kids was reborn as a red velvet masterpiece. And since they're made so well by Kirby, we decided to call them Kirbycakes.

We also decided to make it Classic style. Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream in the middle, enrobed in chocolate. There's nothing boring about the Classic Kirby--it's amazing.

Since one of our housemade specialties is salted caramel, you know we had to do this as well. For the Salty Kirby, under that smooth chocolate coating you'll find vanilla cake sandwiching salted caramel and caramel buttercream.

The Kirbycake has quickly become one of our most popular items. Brides have ordered mini Kirbycakes for dessert displays. Coffee house around town** sell dozens to their their clientele. Jennifer sells dozens every Thursday at the Farmer's Market in Century City. And when we sell at events--guess what the crowd favorite is? Yes, Kirbycakes! We're also happy to say that Kirbycakes can be special ordered ($3 for each foil-wrapped delight) along with all of the amazing other goodies on our menu. Just shoot us an email!

We're always dreaming up new flavors for Kirbycakes--what's your dream Kirbycake flavor? Let us know on our Facebook wall or send us a Tweet!

That's all for now. Have a sweet week!

**[UPDATE 11/16]: Kirbycakes are available at Say Cheese, Jumpcut Cafe, Echo Lake Coffee Co., Marie et Cie, and The Shack at Bel Air Bar & Grill(Moraga & Sepulveda). You can also order a big Kirbycake as a dessert at The Federal Bar!
