1 Month -Done! Out of Town Next Week and Back on the 13th!

What a beautiful Sunday in West Hollywood!  

We've definitely lucked out with blessedly beautiful weather and for the second week in a row, we SOLD OUT of crème caramel and bread pudding!  We loved seeing the new friends come back early on Sunday morning to make sure they got their treats early and we apologize for those who came by when we sold out.  We will definitely make more next time!  Thanks again to the Melrose Place Farmers Market and the West Hollywood community for your support and general awesomeness. :)

And as much as it pains us to not be able to bring treats to you every day, we will be out of town for work Thursday, March 3rd-Monday, March 7th.  We will not be able to take orders for delivery during that time frame, but you are welcome to place your order today for delivery on Wednesday, March 2nd or delivery anytime after Monday, March 7th.

We will also skip this Sunday, March 6th at the Melrose Place Farmers Market, but will be back on Sunday, March 13th with our desserts and perhaps a few more items off menu.  Make sure to ask what we have in stock when you drop by!

Thanks to SG, JniceV, and CreeseW for their help again this weekend.  Love to Rebecca, Diana, Geri, and all our new friends for stopping by.  We'll see you on the 13th!  (And special thanks to MJ for the keyboard shortcut for `e, :) )

Thanks again for your support.  We hope you all have a fantastic week!

XOXO

Thanks Manila Machine!

We have a small batch of Original Crème Caramel on the Manila Machine truck tonight!  Thanks to the lovely truck owners, Nastassia (Let Me Eat Cake blog) and Marvin (Burnt Lumpia blog), for the opportunity of having our dessert on their AWESOME truck!!

The Manila Machine is the premier Gourmet Filipino Food truck in Los Angeles.  With over 6000 followers on Twitter, their truck is a must eat destination for fantastic Filipino eats, but really it's just great food and wonderful people.  Chicken Adobo, Lumpia, and PAN DE SAL SLIDERS??  Yes, PLEASE!!

We're very lucky to be invited to bring a small batch of our Crème Caramel on board this illustrious mobile food palace.  For our Filipino loves, yes, our Crème Caramel is very much like the Filipino Leche Flan (< Burnt Lumpia's post, yay!).  Our dessert foundation started with our family's Leche Flan recipe and was adapted into our present day Crème Caramel dessert.

We hope you can grab one before it's sold out!  Let us know what you think.

Thanks again, Manila Machine!! :)

Crème Caramel LA Commerical

We foresee that this pretty ballerina will sell a million Creme Caramel LA desserts.  Thanks, Maliya, for the love and jingle.

And we can't possibly follow that showing of love!  But we'll try our best with our report of our 3rd week at Melrose Place Farmers Market summarized in 4 words:

Sold Out at 1:15pm.

We've been bumping our supply each week and we weren't sure what to expect.  Especially when we had other elements to factor in for our third week:  three day weekend, weather was much cooler, and we had a few days of crazy rain (by LA standards.)  Much to our surprise (and definite delight) we had a number of people return from our previous weeks to buy again, as well as new loves stop by and walk away with our white little bags filled with treats in hand.

Our Fried Baby Banana (fried in Cast Iron Gourmet's bacon renderings - natch) Bread Pudding was VERY well received.  We're going to make another small batch of this and a little something that will be off menu.  Be sure to ask if we have any of our off menu items when you have a chance to visit!!

Thank you again to everyone for supporting us each week - from afar and at the farmers' market!  Super special thanks to Janice, Sheila, Kyle, and of course, the man - Sean for your work this weekend.  We were like a machine!!

Thanks also to JD (All Spice Cafe - Holy Jolokiberry Jam!!  We'll have this at our booth as a wonderful topping to the creme caramel AND bread pudding!!), Nastassia, Rebecca, Diana, Patty and Neyda (Cedars Sinai, represent!) and Ana Garcia for stopping by our booth and grabbing the treats early.  Big love to Francisco for coming out, but unfortunately...

Hope you had a great three day weekend!!

XOXO, KdlC

Getting a Little Help in the Kitchen.

We hired a new chef at our kitchen and he rocked the sugar cookies with sprinkles.  Thanks, little J, for working your cookie skills.  They were delicious.

In less important news, we're on Four Square and Yelp!  Make sure to Check-In on Four Square and get a special deal!!

We're hoping this storm passes us by on Sunday, but if it does get a little sprinkly, we're offering a Drive-By Desserting option.   Get your treats without leaving the comfy confines of your toasty car!  Just Tweet us (@CremeCaramelLA) or send us an email (cremecaramella@gmail.com) 1/2 hour before you want to pick-up, get a confirmation, and we'll meet you at the curb!  You're also welcome to tweet or email to find out if we're sold out of any of the treats.  

Or put your galoshes and layer it up.  Rain is fun!  It helps make pretty things grow. :)

Hope to see you Sunday!  Have a great three day weekend all!

No, Not Scallops...

...Fried Baby Bananas (fried with Cast Iron Gourmet's Cajun Bacon renderings, of course!)

We're going to have a couple of off-menu bread pudding items this week: "Hot" Chocolate (With All Spice Cafe's Ghost Pepper Grind - we give you the goods, you control the heat.) and Fried Baby Banana bread pudding.  Come by on Sunday and ask for it.  We're making a small quanity, so first come, first eats!  Our small samples of new flavors will give us an opportunity to see what you, our loves, like/love/dislike.  If more people request the flavor, the more likely we will bring it back for a re-run.

It's going to be a little cooler this weekend, but fret not loves.  We offer a Drive-By Desserting option.  Just Tweet (@CremeCaramelLA) or Email your order (cremecaramella@gmail.com) 1/2 hour before you want to pick up, get a confirmation from us, and we'll meet you curbside with your order!  Tout de Suite!  Or Mas Rapido.  Whatever way makes you feel like we did it quickly. ;-)

In Other Awesome People We Love News:
Cast Iron Gourmet and Mothercluck Artisanal Jams, Jellies, and Preserves are going to be at the Altadena Urban Farmers Market, this Sunday too! 1pm-4pm.  These ladies are super fantastic and their products are too.  Like Rashida, owner of Cast Iron Gourmet said, "Visit Creme Caramel LA in the morning and Cast Iron Gourmet in the afternoon!"  It's a locavore's dream!

Thank you again for the love!!  Hope to see you this Sunday!!

2nd Week at Melrose Place Farmers' Market

2nd week of beautiful weather, awesome vendors, and wonderful new loves!  We bumped up our supply this week based on last week's sales and WE SOLD OUT AGAIN!  We went home with a few creme caramels and one lonely bread pudding (Caramelized Bacon - This little guy was tucked in the back.  Whoops.  Sorry little guy.  In me belly.)

 (Early in the mornin' - Thanks Jules Y.)

We did a little secret sample of our Fried Baby Banana (in Bacon Fat, no less) Bread Pudding.  Consensus?  Pretty amazing.  We might have a few to sell next Sunday, but you'll have to ask for it, since it'll be off menu.

Our biggest thanks to everyone for their support and big XO's for the new friends we met on Sunday.  Thanks to @LetMeEatCake (Our new donut friend.) , @SauceLA (Special thanks for the shout-out on her blog), @UniqueLA (Hope you get to try it soon!), @FrenchyFoody (Your little boy is ADORABLE), @OneMoreBiteBlog (So glad we were able to save some Bacon BPs for you!), @AllSpiceCafe (Our "Hot" Chocolate BP with Ghost Pepper is off menu too - Ask for it on Sundays!!) , @PlushPuffs (OOH - so excited to get in the kitchen to experiment with my 2lbs of Marshmallows!) Heidi (FB friend!), Rebecca (Doling out FB tips left and right), Floridos (Pre-ordered and pick-up at the market!), Hernandezeses/Binh (Brought love and kids to the FM), Yniguezesesses (parents of my AWESOME nephew), and of course, my mom and pops for stopping by!  (I tend to forget, so if I missed your name - my sincerest apologies.  We still love you.)

Thanks again to my valentine, Sean G and one of the best cuzzos, Kiara for helping with the slangage. :) (OH NO.  Sorry, THANKS CREESIES for your help too!!)

Happy Love Day, all!
