I am THE WORST at putting myself out there. I’m always scared of what I should say, I don’t want to come off too pushy, and I’m scared of being me because I’m worried they won’t like me. But I told myself that all that self-doubt ends this year. So, Charlie and I went to the Cream Event at the Vibiana on Sunday. I didn’t really know what to expect but WOW, we had a great time!
We arrived in DTLA right at 6 but the line was out the door and down the street so we decided to stop by Little Tokyo and grab a snack and a drink.
It was my first time at Vibiana, I’ve seen gorgeous photos but had never actually been there before. It’s a gorgeous venue. When you walk into the grounds you can see a view of the outdoor space and you’re immediately taken to the indoor area of the venue.

I ran into my friend Amber at Pitbulls and Posies, she had a gorgeous display up!

While we were inside, we got to see some beautiful spaces from Urbanic, Urban Palete, and Minted and Vintage.

Minted and Vintage had the cutest display. Gorgeous cake stands and plates available for rent.

The food we tasted from Urban Palate was to die for! Really yummy π

We also ran into Charm City Cakes West and got to taste one of their confections, their cake is really tasty and moist! This cake was drop dead gorgeous.

What a great event! Lots of eye candy, lots of people, and lots of good times. π What would’ve been icing on the cake would be Charlie entering into the dance contest, but I guess we’ll have to save that for next year π
