Sweet Anthem Valentine’s Trunk Show

Sweet Anthem Show

This is a catch-up post.  I had gotten the photos from her awhile back, but only now finally uploaded them.  See, this is what happens when you forget to take photos yourself in the first place!  Throws everything for a loop.

This was for a friend of mine, the creative genius behind Sweet Anthem, making handmade vegan perfumes and other scented delights, for her Valentine’s Trunk Show at Sweet Petuna in Seattle.  I mentioned this when it happened back on this post.

Sweet Anthem Show I made heart-shaped lavender cookies, almond-anise biscotti, and sweet petit fours (the gold one is bittersweet-chocolate mint, the white one with spice dusted on top is chai, and the one with the red dot and edible pearl is strawberry).

Petit fours are really fun to make, and it’s such a lovely, ethereal treat - the poured fondant coating is thin and light, with a soft vanilla buttercream beneath, and then the not-too-sweet cake and filling within.  I think in this case, the strawberry one was a tad too sweet - next time I’ll use preserves that are a bit more tart and less sweetened.
