Last weekend I did something I’ve never done before. Flirting with Flavors officially became part of the wedding industry as we strutted our stuff at Martha Stewart’s Wedding Party at Gotham Hall in NYC. Claudia Hanlin and the Wedding Library produced a flawless event. We flirted all day with brides and grooms who were shopping for everything from honeymoons to wedding cakes.
There were so many talented vendors. The day was filled with music, delicious tastes of cakes and cookies and everything weddings! I couldn’t capture all the beauty, but here are some of my favorites, including our own Flirting With Flavors table! I think we made a great choice by serving a Pom Passion cocktail made with VeeV Acai Spirit, along with ice cubes with fresh fruit and mint in them, made by our friends at Fruzen Ice. After a long day of wedding planning, many of the brides and grooms drank our deep pink concoction with abandon.
