Finally I am getting to writing my wrap-ups of the craziness of last week. With Sonoma County Restaurant Week and the grand opening of Sift: a Cupcakery in downtown Santa Rosa, my week was filled with dining out, cupcakes and of course, I was never without my trusty iphone.
Friday night was the Grand Opening celebration of Sift. Owner Andrea invited local Santa Rosa business owners and media to come take a look around (their new party room should be open by the middle of March), eat some food, drink some Chandon bubbles, eat some mini cupcakes and.....Try pairings of Dogwood Zinfandel with cupcakes that actually had the zinfandel stirred in. This is something special that Sift does for different winery events. Any winery can call them up and purchase cupcakes with their own varietal blended into the frosting for wine. Unfortunately, Sift cannot sell these cupcakes directly to the public because the alcohol in the wine isn't baked out of the frosting like it would inside the actual cake part. Enjoy the photobooth in the party room. Not normally there, but it was a great addition to any party! Create their own cupcakes at the sprinkles bar. Part of the party package that is offered is a cupcake decorating class where everyone can pick and choose their cakes and decorate them with a frosting of their choice and then of course, with SPRINKLES!!!
If anyone ever visits Sift make sure to sign in on Foursquare or tweet a picture or two to @Sifted!
Cheers!
