Tea Bridal Shower

Erin and I have been friends since we were four years old. We met in Sunday School at a little church in our hometown. We've had oh so many adventures over the last 24 years; growing up at the same church and sometimes in the same schools, spending a summer in Nepal together during high school, an internship in Dallas, and in recent years plenty of visits back and forth between her home in Los Angeles and mine in San Francisco. She's a gem, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of her big day - in Jamaica no less!


Last weekend was Erin's bridal shower, a tea party with flea market inspired decor. It was a very "Erin" tea, with every last detail well thought out. I'm not sure how her fiance will react when he realizes Erin registered for and indeed received every type of bowl and desert dish imaginable, but I'd say the event went off without a hitch and she got piles of fabulous gifts.

Oh my sweetness!




Sprinkles' 24-hour "Cupcake ATM" opened for business in Beverly Hills last Tuesday outside their flagship cupcake shop on South Santa Monica Boulevard. The "world's first cupcake automat" dispenses cupcakes, cake mixes, pet snacks and Sprinkles' apparel. The machine is clearly an instant success, dispensing an average of 1000 treats a day! 



Sprinkles has already announced plans for three Manhattan locations expected to open this summer, and has been asking their Facebook followers where they'd like to see Cupcake ATM locations pop up in the future. My diet is very grateful that the location closest to San Francisco is far enough away that there's no chance I'll sneak out for a midnight treat!
