November Roundup!

Zooooom! Whoosh! What's that? That's Friandise Pastries, jamming through a VERY busy month of November. Weddings--catering gigs--Patchwork Show--Thanksgiving! Let's review...

We had the pleasure of providing our signature dessert displays for some weddings this month. Congratulations to all our November brides and grooms!

Custom-decorated Cakes for Dessert Display

We sold tons of Kirbycakes and other Friandise Sweets at the Patchwork Festival in Culver City. The Patchwork Festival is a great way to get to know a ton of local crafters of clothes, art, jewelry, and more--including us with our irresistible Kirbycakes!

Tastiest Booth at Patchwork!

Did you know we make custom cake pops? We do! A very delighted customer took our custom cake pops to her party and they were a huge hit!

Too Cute!

We even had an order for black macarons! No problem--these were perfect for a Nightmare Before Christmas Bridal Shower.

Beautiful Black Macaron!

We mustn't forget about Thanksgiving! We had many orders for pies, tarts, cupcakes, and other desserts. Our favorite was this pear and sour cherry tart--mouthwatering!

That's just a few highlights from this busy month of November. This week we're getting ready for Unique LA, which is Saturday and Sunday at the California Market Center in Downtown LA. Come on down and check it out--10% of ticket sales are donated to Inner City Arts (an amazing non-profit for kids in LA) and you won't find a better selection of locally-crafted high-quality goods.

That's all for now. Until next time, stay sweet and send us a tweet! Pin It

Bon Voyage, Kirby!

This week, we prepare to send our Owner and Pastry Chef Kirby off to Italy!

Wow, Italy? That's right, our very own Kirby will be getting back to her Italian roots as she heads to Soriano to be a guest chef at Culture Discovery Vacations. She will be teaching guests how to create sweet culinary delights at the gorgeous 18th century villa in Soriano. Culture Discovery is an amazing life experience for all who attend. Founded in 2006, they offer cooking vacations that steep the attendee in the lush culinary culture of Italy including Tuscany, Umbria, and Sicily. Now they add the Kirby touch--lucky vacationers! (And not too bad of a gig for Kirby, right?)

All they need is Kirby! (pic from Culture Discovery)

Kirby is no stranger to teaching. She has done numerous classes at Whole Foods, showing customers how to create delicous tarts, bars, and more. Whenever she does a class at Whole Foods, the space is packed with customers eager to learn her tricks and tips.

Time for a class on tarts!

So that's all for this week. We're so excited to send our Kirby off to Italy! Hopefully she'll bring us back some Limoncello. Have a great time, Kirby! We'll miss you, hurry home!
