Decadent Dessert Date Pairing

As the seasons began to change and Covid numbers began to climb, our efforts to comfort our community turned sweet! Over the winter we hosted three desert pairing lectures that were open to our friends, family, and locals. It took a lot of effort to organize the event between locals and two different shops, but it was our way of helping to stimulating local business. We helped facilitate around $1000 in sales for these companies.

This is a brain child of mine I've wanted to put together since the start of social distancing to help connect people through awesome local desserts. It is a great way to indulge your senses while supporting local boutiques. What I didn't anticipate was the shops being so excited to work with me! When I contacted Lavender Moon to inquire if they would be apart of this, they picked up the baton and enthusiastically started running with it. They are excited to hear the wines we will be drinking and will select from their extensive list of recipes which cupcakes they believe will pair best.

The morning of the event I will pickup all the cupcake box orders and deliver them to Revel Wine Bar. Revel is sourcing some awesome wines for our endeavor. Each order will receive 2 glass jars with 4oz of wine. You'll be able to pickup your dessert pairing at Revel anytime after 3p.

*Note* Please return glass jars to Revel, Preferably before the next dessert wine & cupcake event

Join us online at 7p for a dessert pairing lecture & tasting. You'll receive a background into the wines we are drinking and individual tasting notes to each. But dont drink too much too fast! We'll be going through each combination of wine and dessert to determine which dessert matches with which wine! We will vote as a group to see if our palates agree with each other.
