Is it too late to say Happy New Year?

It has been awhile since we have blogged. After a festive and busy holiday season, we are enjoying this first part of the year, adding new flavors, trying new designs and embracing 2012! We filled more corporate orders than ever during the 2011 holiday season, including client gifts for companies including Ippolita (this jewelry is amazing!), Periscope, Beyond20, CB Richard Ellis and KWall, just to name a few. We made glittering, jewel pops for Ippolita, custom koala pops for KWall and thousands of holiday themed colors and designs for dozens of others. Not to mention our seasonal favorites, Gingerbread, Eggnog and Chocolate Peppermint.

As we are in March already of 2012 (boy does the time fly!), we are making some exciting additions to our flavor selection. Though not yet finalized, we will be introducing some of the following flavors, Snickerdoodle, Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Cinnamon, Vanilla Latte and Chocolate Salted Caramel. Tune into Facebook to vote for your favorite to be added to our gourmet selections.

Brides and grooms are busy planning their summer and fall weddings and we have risen to the occasion. We have our always popular wedding selections on our website and we have added darling “Bride and Groom Flattops” to our selection. Add these to a custom colored assortment of our favorite flavors for your dessert table and these will literally take (the place of) the cake!

Don’t forget to like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter for new flavors and special promotions. Thanks for popping by … and Stay Sweet.

Today, Just a Bite got to participate in a B'nai Mitzvah at 7 Degrees in Laguna Beach AND an amazing wedding at the Fairmont in Newport Beach. The B'nai Mitzvah was for a brother and sister. The theme colors were neon green and hot pink. What fun colors!! We got to partner with Francie from Balloons Sound Great. She makes amazing balloon arrangements (check out her website) as well as custom sculptures and displays. We brought the cake pops and she created the fantastic displays to show them off. Check out these pics of us setting up, the finished product and a couple examples of Francie's creativity for this event.

We even ran into a couple at 7 Degrees that was checking out the venue for their wedding and we gave them a couple pops we had to spare.

Next, on to the Fairmont. The display for the wedding we created ourselves. And the brainpower to create a circular display designed to hold and show off 435 cake pops, each with a handwritten placecard, was no small feat. We couldn't have pulled if off without all of the great ideas and help.

The foam that made the base for the display was too large to assemble before delivery so we put it together onsite and then carefully placed the cake pops around the beautiful manzanita tree arrangement created by Manjit of Manjit's Flower Cottage. Three words, OMG. The centerpiece was amazing but that was just the beginning. The floral touches throughout the ballroom and in the entry area took your breath away. His creativity and detailed touch added such elegance to our shared placecard presentation. Enjoy the photos of the Just a Bite wedding display and some of Manjit's work. What a fantastic day.

It is such a joy to see all of the hard work come together when we get to share our creations for events such as these.
