Parallel Lines introduced their first Savor Los Angeles series last night which featured locals specializing in high quality sweets. The event had a great turnout and was a huge success. The event took place at an amazing gallery space, Miauhaus Studios located in the Miracle Mile of Los Angeles. The selection of participants was outstanding, it was truly the best of the best in L.A. Even the selection of DJs and music was on point. It was an intimate and well organized event which I enjoyed.

Now to the highlights

My friend Carol knows how much I love ice cream and sent me this link of awesome ice cream cone lamp fixtures. They are from a UK boutique called Mixko and the only one that is left for purchase is the white sugar cone.

Doughnuts are actually easier to make than you may think. I finally attempted making them and it was a surprising success. I made a basic yeast dough and a  few different glazes; vanilla, matcha and coffee. I topped the vanilla glaze doughnuts with sprinkles and fruity pebbles. The coffee glaze one’s had too much of a strong coffee taste then needed. The matcha glaze was a pleasant sweet (sugar, sugar, sugar) green tea flavor. The most fun part of making them has to be the glazing and decorating part. Click more for the basic recipe I used.
