Following a great meeting with a great hotel, the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower, I walked around their block and tried more cupcakes. The hotel’s PR and Marketing Manager did NOT lead me astray. Thanks Lisa! The delicious treat I sampled (as soon as I left the little shop) and the box full of miniatures that came back to Youngstown for my precious Olivia and Calvin were very much enjoyed.
I’m now onto another sweet endeavor: creating macaron boxes for the infamous macarons created in ADOUR at The St. Regis New York. And next on my to-list is packaging for our friend DT, DOSM at The Ritz-Carlton Central Park. A glimpse at their cupcake package is enough to make me look for flights.
So what’s next? What’s coming from the left coast to replace the current confection craze? The LA Times featured a very interesting article about up and coming jelly shots. Yep, pretty close to familiar jell-o shots. Cheers to you, “J-E-L-L-O Bill Cosby.” That’s right high-end hotels, like Bar Nineteen 12 in the Beverly Hills Hotel, are now serving tasting menus of jelly shots. Cute! Curious to see when this sexy, sushi-inspired design makes its way east. Let’s just hope live nude sushi is a little farther behind.
