“First we eat, then we do everything else.”
MFK Fisher had it right! How could we do anything without good food and drinks?! Our food and beverage partners for the MiLOWE launch party really came through with all of the sweet, savory and totally delightful sips and bites. Read more about each of our friends below. And if you (and your stomach) like what you see, head over to our launch giveaway and enter for your chance to win TREATS.
12 Oaks: The philosophy that drives 12 Oaks is that a great dessert makes life a bit sweeter. Based in North Hollywood (with delivery all across LA), they bring time-honored baking traditions to modern treats including cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and cake pops. They've helped with numerous corporate events, showers, weddings, etc, but their favorite type of orders are children's birthday parties. There is something whimsical and magical about taking a theme and using all your creativity to make it come to life. The small female-owned business is run by Katherine Coyne and her sister Missy Coyne.
Dream Pops: We are proponents of healthy lifestyles and ice cream’s appeal is undeniable, but its allure has also stunted its potential to change with the times. It has remained irresistibly delicious, while proving to be undeniably unhealthy. By creating a flavor-packed plant-based alternative powered by real food and real ingredients, we’re rewriting culinary history. Our goal is to create a product as moving as our licks down memory lane.
Spread The Love: Spread The Love® was created by the happy couple, Val and Zach Fishbain (read Val's "Mom's on the Move" interview here). They first started making peanut butter with a Vitamix blender when they were planning their wedding in May of 2013. They wanted to give something pure, healthy and made with love to their guests. So they made more than 150 small jars of homemade peanut butter as wedding favors. After the wedding, word had started to spread about their artisan peanut butter and Val and Zach were receiving special requests from friends (and friends of friends) to fulfill orders. This is when they decided to go into business and start Spread The Love®. Since then, they’ve been spreading the love throughout the country through their products. Our single-ingredient nut butter packets are the easiest, most wholesome snack for mom or kiddos on the go. There is no added sugar, no palm oil and no junk whatsoever. Just pure energy and lots of love to spread all around.
