friyay happy hour: cranberry + gin mule
so in the midst of this holiday season, myself and my little elves (my friends lindsey & jeanelle) have been working away to pump out some REALLY COOL new stuff over at newfoodtuesdayz headquarters (my kitchen & couch).
first and foremost, before i start gushing about all that is exciting and new, i have to take a second to thank the aforementioned elves for all their time, support, creative energy and technical expertise. with out their talents, neither of the projects i have bene working on would have been possible.
now, on to the goods. the first announcement you may have already noticed. newfoodtuesdayz has gotten a little makeover. there are new RECIPE GALLERIES, there is more information about newfoodtuesdayz and how to work with me, but most importantly, cakes can now be ORDERED ONLINE. and cakes are just the beginning. not only is the launch of our online shop an incredible way to order your cakes, it is the best way to order my next announcement.
NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! A CAKE CALENDAR IS NOW FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!
my amazing friend & insanely talented photographer, lindsey johnston, photographed and designed the layout of the calendar and we shot the whole thing in three weeks. it was a crazy idea that we came up with WAY late in the year, but we did it and it is BEAUTIFUL. you can purchase it HERE.
now to top off all the sweet, SWEET goodness i just dropped on you, i will leave you with a cocktail that won't disappoint.
