We’ll be there from 11 am til we sell out. Come by, grab some cookies and flowers, then shop inside Felix & Pierre Picnic Shop for even more gifts. A portion of the proceeds from our flower and cookie sales will be donated to @chirla_org !

Rumor has it, these may be the jam flavors in the cookies in each box:
- blood orange and cappelletti jelly
- classic Seville orange marmalade
- strawberry-rose jam
- bergamot and Meyer lemon marmalade

Thanks again to @ivnatx for the fantastic flyer!

Last week was the most perfect night in L.A. Five of the best bakers in L.A.—Sasha Piligian, Catalina Flores, Erika Chan, Clemence DeLutz, and Jon Melendez—and I made L.A.-themed gingerbread houses and sold gingerbread cookie boxes to raise money for @lafamilyhousing at @dannydsmudshop , the most perfect place I know in the city.

Guests came in to peruse the houses and sip some @twhollisterco vermouth hot toddies, admiring all the hard work the bakers put into making these masterpieces.

In L.A., we have to make our own holiday magic because the weather doesn’t do it for us, and this was the best way I could think of to do that. We raised over $2,300 for LA Family Housing, and I want to thank everyone who bought a cookie boxes to get there!

Thank you to all the wonderful bakers who participated, @ivnatx for a killer flyer/poster, and @_emilygularte for documenting the night with her perfect photos. And the biggest thanks to Danny & @peyton.perron for allowing me to take over their shop for this event.

Can’t wait for next year’s party and happy holidays everyone!

UPDATE: Pre-orders for cookie boxes are closed to allow the bakers time to prepare their cookies. There will be extra cookie boxes at the event to purchase on-site if you missed the pre-order window!

Excited to announce the inaugural LA Gingerbread House gallery and bake sale! On Thursday, December 11th, stop by @dannydsmudshop from 5-9 pm to see some amazing gingerbread houses designed like iconic LA landmarks and made by some of LA’s best bakers: @catalinaawinemixer of PanHead LA, @sashimi1 , @jonjon33 , @erikaachan of Kato, and @clemencegourmandise of Petitgrain Boulangerie!

Each baker (including yours truly) will have gingerbread houses on view, and they will also have gingerbread cookies in boxes for sale. All proceeds will go to @lafamilyhousing , which helps people transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services.

Beverages will be provided by @twhollisterco and @drinkbalo, and I’ll be making some savory snacks as well. A big thank you to @ivnatx for this wonderful poster!

Head to the link in my bio to learn more about LA Family Housing’s impact in LA.

I can’t wait for you all to see these beautiful gingerbread houses!

Cranberries are the one ingredient I can’t do without for the holidays, and the @testkitchen app helps me find lots of inspiration for what to do with them, even if it’s a simple cranberry sauce I can use in many different ways throughout the season.

This one of my favorite recipes I’ve ever developed: Stuffing Cornbread. Instead of baking cornbread just to let it dry out then mix with aromatics to make my Thanksgiving dressing, I bake all the aromatics into the cornbread from the start. It streamlines the process so that’s one less thing to deal with on the day of the holiday.

Fresh garlic and sage, dried rosemary and thyme, and Better Than Bouillon chicken stock base (though you can use any powdered bouillon too) give the cornbread that savory “stuffing” flavor I want, but in much less time. Serve a wedge at your Thanksgiving table this year and see if you ever miss the old way of making stuffing/dressing.
