Today I had the absolute pleasure of turning a VERY big moment into an even BIGGER memory for my little sister. 🩷
She turned 21, so naturally… we went ALL OUT. 😂🥂✨
And because this birthday was extra special, I want to introduce y’all to some amazing new vendors that I cannot say enough good things about!
🎈 Balloons, backdrop, decor & snack trays: all by yours truly, Balloons & More by Tabby. 😉
🍰 Now let’s talk TREATS!
The cake pops, Rice Krispy treats, Oreos, and pretzels were made by the lovely Chantelle Carter with CC Creations — and y’all… SHE KILLED IT.
Honestly, these are some of the best-tasting treats I’ve ever had, and I have tried A LOT. 😂
Smooth chocolate, high-quality ingredients, incredible attention to detail, amazing customer service, and most importantly… SO freaking tasty.
OH — and she has a CAKE POP CART, Y’ALL! 😍
It’s on her porch in Norco at 549 Clayton Drive, and you HAVE to check it out. She has different flavors every week. Basically, it’s the Crumbl of cake pops. 😂
Seriously, go check her out. It’s absolutely worth the drive — and in my opinion, cheaper AND tastier than Starbucks!
🎂 And then there’s that GORGEOUS three-layer almond cake…
Made by Jan with Jan's Confections, and let me tell y’all… that cake was AMAZING.
The most decadent buttercream I’ve had in a long time. Hands down one of the best cakes I’ve eaten recently — and dare I say… better than my own almond wedding cake. 😳
And that is saying A LOT considering how much that wedding cake cost. 😂
Sweet, moist, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. The pictures honestly don't even do it justice.
If you’re looking for a home baker, PLEASE check out Jan's! He was super friendly, had amazing customer service, and delivered a top-notch product. 💕🎂
🍪 And last, but certainly NOT least…
Let me introduce y’all to an up-and-coming cookie maker: Austin Cochran with Cookie Cove Sweets!
And listen — DO NOT let the fact that she’s just starting out make you hesitate.
These cookies were THICK, soft, and DELICIOUS. Not overly sweet like so many decorated cookies can be. She nailed the balance of almond flavor and sweetness without making them feel like you just ate a cup of sugar. 😂
I will absolutely be using her again in January for my 16-year-old brother’s birthday, and I’m already excited about it!
Actually… I liked them so much I stole two cookies and tucked them in my purse for later. 😂😂
So to CC Creations, Jan’s Confections, and Cookie Cove Sweets — THANK YOU. 🩷
Thank you for helping me turn such a huge milestone for my little sister into an even bigger memory — and definitely a SWEET one!
I’m so grateful I found three amazing vendors to add to my little vendor family, and I cannot wait to work with y’all again! 🥰
Now excuse me while I go schedule my A1C check for Monday. 😅😂
21 only happens once, and we made sure she celebrated it BIG. 🥂✨
