Custom Petit Four Wedding Favors

How many times have you received jordan almonds at a wedding and feared the loss of a tooth upon consumption? There are only so many knick knacks a couple can offer their guests before every little thing becomes “same ol’”. Perhaps consider going the “Castanza” route, and give donations to the “Human Fund” (aka nadda)?  However, I think that may seriously increase the chance of a rock being exchanged for bird seed as you exit that evening. Instead of “things” consider something incredible (custom, artistic, unique) and edible (petit fours, mini cupcakes, cookies)!

Today, Treet was honored to provide a lovely couple their wedding favors- two monogrammed petit fours, in their wedding colors, placed in an environmentally friendly kraft box, and adorned with a matching raffia bow. Simple, elegant, custom and a sweet bite after a great night of dancing!

Fashion for Paws- Petit Four Paws

Treet totally went to the dogs this past weekend…in a good way!

Brownie bones for F4P

We donated “dog-gone-good” brownie bones and paw petit fours for the VIP guests at this year’s Fashion for Paws event, benefiting the Washington Humane Society.  This fabulous “who’s who” fundraiser raised over $300,000 to help support the over 30,000 abused and abandoned pets in the DC metro area.  Treet was so proud to be a part of such a sweet cause!

A Chic Affair Petit Fours

“Green & So Delish: Treet Bakery” by Janice Wallace, Editor of The Bridal Wishlist

I recently had the pleasure of attending “A Chic Affair” last Sunday at the Longview Gallery in D.C. It truly was a chic affair. One of the most memorable vendors was Treet Bakery. I sampled the most delish mini cupcakes, as well as, one of their delightful Pretty Petty Petit Fours.

What was more amazing was Theresa’s (Treet’s Chief Sweetness Officer) commitment to incorporating green practices in her baking by using fresh ingredients from local farms. In addition, Treet packages their goodies in 100% recycled and/or compostable packaging, deliver their “treets” in a hybrid vehicle, and will soon work in an office that will run on clean wind power. For me, Treet Bakery puts its money where its mouth is. That’s my kind of bakery.

To find our more about Treet or just to order goodies for your stash, visit their web site.

Thanks to Katie for allowing me to sit in while she is working hard to make this world a better place. You can see what I am blogging about weekdays on my blog, The Bridal Wishlist. Have a great weekend!

I love a good guest in the Treet  kitchen! 

For the past few weeks we have been practically hosting our own baking club.  I’ve truly enjoyed all the positive baking enthusiasm amidst the ovens! 

First, our beloved intern from Field School spent 2 weeks learning the tricks of Treet!  If you have never asked a 16 year old their insight on your business, you are missing out!  Yes, what they have to say may have you wishing you could revert back to high school and stuff yourself in a locker. However in the end their youth, social “in-ness”, and honest point of view is completely refreshing.  My intern was particularly brilliant, and I believe you will all soon be catching a glimpse of some of her thoughtfulness on our website. 

Next, we were visited by a very talented blogger from The ModernDomestic.  Not only could she whip up some sweet brownie bites; she was a pleasure to chat “shop” with.  She was also kind enough to post about our visit, “Theresa Luongo Pineilli Serves Up Some Tasty Treats at Treet“!

Ya’ll come back soon now ya hear!

Congratulations to Ashlee from Chantilly Academy for selecting Treet’s new Mini Cupcake flavor…drum roll please…..Mocha Chocolate Chip!!!  There are sooooo many perks to this new flavor – coffee, chocolate chunks, vanilla…who needs Starbucks?  Jk- I still need my caffeine fix too!

In order to thank Ashlee for her flavor brilliance Treet will providing her with an exclusive taste test of the new flavor before it’s available to everyone!

Expect the new flavor to be available online & at the Bethesda Central Farmer’s Market FEBRUARY 1st!!

Mini Pecan Pies

Happy 2010 Everybody!  I had the pleasure of starting the New Year off on a very positive note with my first wedding of 2010!  What a perfect way to “ring” in the New Year with a brand new lovey-dovey beginning!  Plus, kudos to 2010 wedding couples for choosing such an easy year for remembering your anniversary (tip:  in 2020 you will be recieving a china or platinum themed gift).

This very chill bride and groom wanted Southern Bell & Crem Della Crem Mini’s for their “big” day, but they also requested a yummy seasonal twist- bite-sized pecan pies!

Christmas Mini Cupcake Towers

Treet had the opportunity to “deck the halls” with cupcakes for a surprise party last night in Old Town, VA.  The mini cupcake towers were decorated to mimic little edible Christmas trees!  I got so into the spirit of things I munched on a few branches of my own tree when I got home…it was not as delicious…in fact it was prickly and tasted like air freshener.  I hope the party guests enjoyed the smooth and creamy little mini cupcakes on their “trees” better!

Delia Sava from the Arlington Connection helps people still needing great “green” gift ideas in her new article, “Guide for Green Gift-Giving”, and Treet is included in the “good” gifts!  Check it out:  http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/article.asp?article=335858&paper=60&cat=104

Dipped in almonds, walnuts or candy cane
