New Santa Barbara Vendor to keep your eyes {and mouth} open for!

I received quite the basket of goodies over the holidays from a new local vendor here in Santa Barbara.  Jacqui Wou of Tartisan, specializes in artisanal savory and sweet pies.

A few of our favorites:

Pork Belly Pie
Zucchini Pie
Pecan Pie
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie


Jacqui can also do appetizer and dessert displays for your wedding or event.  Want to taste her pies?
You can find her pies daily at the Blue Owl here in Santa Barbara - so head on down and taste some new local yummies!

What will they think of next?!

We all know how hard and fast the cupcake trend hit the Special Events industry.  I still have my designated "Cupcake Allowance" for Enjoy Cupcakes of Los Olivos, Ca.  As most things do, the trend has become a bit stale...no pun intended there.  So, we began to see the cupcake trend morph into new and innovative ways of eating them.  I have seen Cupcake Decorating Stations, Cupcake Buffets, Gigantic Cupcakes, Mini Cupcakes, Cupcakes In A Jar, and Cupcakes On A Stick.  But now, there is yet another creative way of eating your cupcakes!

Introducing CakeShooters by Sprinkles!

 I was reading the current issue of Special Events, when I came across CakeShooters!   The CakeShooter is a portable push-up pop, filled with the perfect cake-to-icing ratio, and is available in a variety of flavors and colors. They are available for shipping nationwide!  This could be great for any special event, especially weddings, children's birthday parties, heck, even ADULT birthday parties.  I have attended events  before where I may have indulged in the bar a bit too much and really could have used this convenience.  They even offer vegan or gluten-free pops!

Stay tuned for what Bijoux Events staff has to say about these mini-indulgences...ring ring ring.  "Hello?"  "Ah yes, we would like one of every flavor you have to offer please!"  Yum!


Sprinkles Signature,  this classic creation features vanilla cream and white icing


Yellow Raspberry Swirl, swirled into the mix are cream cheese filling and icing. PiƱa Colada, taste the tropics with this mix of vanilla cream, pineapple coconut filling, and icing. OMG, that’s what you’ll be saying when you taste this delicious combination of raspberry swirl and chocolate buttercream icing. Vanilla, vanilla cake with a choice of vanilla or chocolate icing. Chocolate, chocolate cake with a choice of vanilla or chocolate icing.
