Last month I got to experience Unique LA Spring 2010 event in Downtown LA at the California Market Center, thanks to Sandra of Debutante Clothing and Stylesmith.
Found many talented artists and designers and chef's too. Here are my highlights:
Sandra and I came upon the Burlesque Bakery! Mini, delectable, sultry cupcakes named after 1950's pin up queens, starlettes and divas!
We both treated ourselves to the "Four Play" 1 Little Box, 4 Little Sins Cupcakes! Featuring (description taken from their take home menu):
Bettie Page - Chocolate cake, Marshmellow fluff filling, Bourbon buttercream, garnished with potato chip crunch
Eartha Kitt- Chocolate cake, peanutbutter filing, peanutbutter buttercream, garnished with dried banana chips. DANGEROUS-ly GOOD!!!
Kim Novak- Pink vanilla cake, vanilla pudding filling, Rosewater buttercream, garnished with edible flowers although this one wasn't. . .
And my favorite of the four; Brigitte Bardot - Vanilla cake, Lemon pudding filling, citrus Vodka buttercream, garnished with Belgian peal sugar!
Not recommended to eat in all in one sitting . . . only if you want to!
Really loved the clothing by Eva Franco. Did not buy but was very tempted. It's very vintage inspired but modern! Very cute prints and quality material.
Three Apparel.com- Loved the characters that they have come up with. Bought two screen print bags!
Was inspired by the graphics from rock scissor paper! Such whimsy and cute illustrations!
Effie's Heart had really cute clothing. Bought a knit cap!
Loved the illustrations by Dan Bob Thompson
Got a lovely new feather headband by Stylesmith because feathers are the new cherries!
I think I came with $40 on me and spent and extra $25. I was able to get most of the items plus lunch with that $40. So there were a lot of great deals. I think there will be one for the holidays so schedule me there!!!
