The Cocoa & Fig retail shop was in the spotlight in the Star Tribune Taste section this week as one of Rick Nelson's picks for good restaurants in the Minneapolis skyway. He called us the "Sweet Spot" of the skyway!
From the article:
How many downtowners know that one of the Twin Cities’ best bakeries is parked on a skyway? It’s Cocoa & Fig, and the tiny Gaviidae shop is the source for a slim but wickedly tempting array of imaginative cupcakes (pick up C&F’s luscious riff on the Hostess fudge classic), cookies (it’s easy to fall for the scalloped-edged faux Oreos) and festive cake lollipops. The four-packs of bouchons, intensely chocolate-ey cork-shaped brownies, are ideal $5 gifts, or, better yet, as a midafternoon indulgence.

This adorable cake was made for McKenna's 3rd birthday, which is close to Valentine's Day. We used lots of pink and red along with a few hearts, but the main inspiration came from McKenna's favorite rag doll. Even the doll's pet puppy made it onto the cake!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, McKenna!
Ashley and Beau had a lovely nautical-inspired wedding last summer at the Lafayette Club. With the wedding experts at mi mi design coordinating the details, the celebration was truly amazing!
The centerpiece 3 tier cake had navy blue fondant ribbons around the
base of the top and bottom tiers and a fondant pearl border around the
middle tier along with elegant, white sugar flowers as accents. The mini dessert table included Key Lime and Tiramisu Dessert Shooters, Peanut Butter & Jelly French Macarons, Chocolate Chip and Sinfully Chocolate Mini Cupcakes, Peanut Butter Lollipops, and Fresh Fruit Tartlets.
What better way to send off the guests than with Minnesota shaped Pie-on-a-Stick guest favors. These were displayed in ribbon-tied wooden boxes with white crinkle paper and looked adorable. Congratulations to Ashley and Beau!
