Flour + Flower Bar
Chef Heather Wong’s whimsical cake bars and pastries usually involve some sort of edible flower — sometimes a whole pansy pressed into frosting, sometimes a scattering of loose petals atop a spiced apple coffee cake. Now, her Flouring pop-up in the Hotel Figueroa is getting a botanical counterpart. Every Saturday and Sunday in February, “funky florist” Stephanie Castaneda, also known as Vases to Vases, will join Wong to provide gifts for Valentine’s Day and beyond. Flouring is making an eight-piece Valentine’s Day-inspired sweets box and dessert charcuterie boards; Vases to Vases will offer bouquets and vase arrangements. To order, email flouringla@gmail.com or vasesatthefig@gmail.com by the Thursday before your desired pickup weekend.
