a candy-striped factory.

Creamy, delicious & now as cute as can be.

Who said adorable can't cross over

with industrial?

Another Restaurant & Bar Design Award winner this year .

(see other entries and winners here & here)

This entry was awarded "Best Bar in Europe"

This store is nothing short of what one can illustrate 

on a children's novel cover.

Incorporating a fantasy aura similar to
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory 

the playful shapes and colours don't trip the 

hearty authenticity of the hardware & machinery.

The concept came from a "creamery magic" a whimsical interior scheme

with a modern peppermint candy theme. 

Six individual "taps" provide flows into
tastebud magic.  As if that wasn't enough
they also have 34 savory toppings to add to your
small cup of fantasy.

food photo ops.

The other a bunch of co-workers asked me:
"Why do Asians always take pictures of their food?"

& my question to them is:
"Why not?"

I mean lets be real, food is delicious.
& yummy things are beautiful.
& beautiful things need to be captured.

Food photography drives me wwwwwild.
& so does branding... soo this post is just me
gettin' a little too worked up for these tarts

When LA based pastry shop, their brand concept
itself was mouth watering.

They're focus was not just on heightening the joy of the tastebuds
but inspired to create beauty in each little (t)art they made.
