Seattle Recommendation: Get Your Hot Cakes! // Ballard

You may remember that back in December, sweet Autumn from Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery in Ballard, Seattle sponsored our Pre-Kit Release Press Party and brought delicious sipping caramel, mini s'mores and devilishly delicious chocolate cookies. I've been dreaming about those goodies ever since, so I was excited to stop by the shop for a coffee and lunch with a close friend.

On my menu: Beecher's Grilled Cheese (it comes in that perfect package!) with pickled beets and cauliflower, a soy mocha and a S'more Chocolate Hot Cake (there are several different types). As a bonus: the fabulous branding. Everything in the the shop is adorable and streamlined, chic and crisp. If you haven't been, I highly recommend sampling a savory (béchamel pocket pie!) as well as a sweet. I'd like to go back and grab a boozy shake one evening! Valentine's Day, anyone? Get there!

Pre-Kit Release Press Party

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions with the upcoming release of our Assemble Crafting Kits (tomorrow!). Through printing snafus, wonderful help from friends and several very late nights, we think we are nearly ready to present them.

Last night, we were excited to host a party for our favorite members of the crafting & blogging community to come and check out the new kits, have a glass of champagne, and a treat from local pastry wizard, Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery. If you haven't tried their delicacies, we highly recommend the sipping caramel with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. I think we collectively gained 50 lbs last night. Whoops!

Take a look at a few sneak peaks today, then come back tomorrow for the full scoop on our eight new crafting kits, for sale tomorrow!










We haven't slept in days!! Yayyy!!
