Food from the bottom of our Hearts

From Miette


On Friday February 12th, the San Francisco Ferry Building will be hosting the annual Food from the Heart event: it sounds pretty delicious. Super delicious.

From Miette


Miette is very excited to participate! We'll be staying open late, and from 5pm - 8pm our resident cookie-decorating genius Jeff will be on hand to make beautiful custom inscriptions on Miette our heart cookies. They are going to be quite grand in scale- 6 inches, and just gorgeous.

From Miette


As you can see!

We'll also be making, for the very first time!, tiny ice cream sandwiches! House-made creme fraiche ice cream will be generously layered between two of our miniature graham crackers. Yes, that's correct, it will be the cutest thing ever. There's no photo because we've never made them before- that's how special this event is! You should totally go, and bring that nice valentine of yours.

Miette Advent Calendar Day 15: Tasteful, & Not-So

From Miette


Hammond's handmade candy canes have become a winter tradition here at Miette! Just look at how simple & tasteful & quintessentially candy-caney they are! Everything you could hope for in a candy cane, in seasonal flavors such as peppermint, cinnamon, apple pie, cranberry, and more!

December 15th : Hammond's Candy Canes
Availability: Ferry Building, Octavia, Chestnut
Price: $4
Notes: These are large! Approximately 10 inches!

From Miette


On a more personal note, the Candyshop girls would like to thank the dollar-stores of San Francisco, especially the one on 16th between Valencia & Mission, for stocking such awesome holiday decorations. We had our winter-holiday party last night, and there was hot-pink & gold tinsel galore. As much as we love double-satin ribbon, and hand-wrapped artisan chocolate bars, come quittin' time sometimes a girl just needs some glitter, some gaudy, and some Dolly.

Miette Advent Calendar Day 12, Oakland Edition: Eye-candy counts, right?

From Miette


Guess what! We are so excited. Tomorrow, Sunday, December 13th, the Miettegirls are going to be kickin' it old-school, farmers' market-style at JLS. That's cool slang for Jack London Square.

Our new shop there in Oakland is not
quite ready: we're still working on a few essential shop components, such as....a pastry case, but we just couldn't wait any longer! Think of it as a sneak-preview, or a tiny holiday candy bazaar. We've got lots of icicles, gnomes, gelt, the cutest marzipan snowpeople you ever did see, and so many darling & delicious stocking-stuffers.

We won't be serving our cakes & cupcakes & such, but you should totally come anyway. It will be super-fun, I promise. I mean, gnomes! And we have four Christmas trees. Four! Just for you, and your wintery, sugarplum, holiday pleasure.

So, in conclusion...
Miette Sneak-Peek
Sunday December 13th
10am-2pm, during the JLS Farmers' Market
Broadway & Embarcadero, Oakland

December 12th: That gorgeous table you see above. If that table goes missing, all of us, but especially Crystal & I, are suspect.
