At this Fullerton small business shop I was cordially invited to indulge on Patty’s Cakes, a pink-smothering dessert spot filled with a plethora of sweets and other adorable delights emblazoned with holiday decor and cheer all-around.

This dessert shop wasn’t solely offering their cakes in various shapes and sizes. Present were irresistible cookies –such as my personal faves, the snickerdoodle and chocolate chip — classic ice creams from Thrifty, sophisticated coffee from Illy, and make-your-own hot chocolate at the hot cocoa station featuring marshmallow-looking snowman housing this brewed chocolaty comfort.

I had the appreciative opportunity to take home 4 cupcakes as their Christmas gift. With over 20 flavors of cupcakes to choose from I picked the ones not only for myself, but something my best friends could indulge when I visited them the next day. I don’t have a solid picture of the eventual 4 morsels, but I meticulously picked the scrumptious red velvet, the delightful butter pecan, the sensual chocolate salted caramel, and the intensely tart lemon drop.

Another considerate feature about this dessert shop is the gluten-free option of some flavors of cupcakes, which would accommodate greatly when, say, I can order ahead of time online for party guests with slightly different diets from one another.

This fun-filled holiday event may be short and sweet, but my time spent there was unforgettable, all thanks to hostess Connie @occomestibles, and the hospitable owner and staff members of Patty’s Cakes and Desserts.
