Jul 26, 2019New Canaan Florist Brings Local Charm, Quality To New Location - New Canaan, CT Patch
NEW CANAAN, CT — Customers who enter New Canaan Florist at 10 E. Maple Street, next to New Canaan Cleaners, will immediately find themselves surrounded by the sights and smells of roses, orchids, wreaths and more as friendly faces offer them a warm greeting. It is the type of service one can expect from a store with more than half a decade of local history behind it. According to owner Doug Pippitt, the store has existed in one form or another in town, under a couple different names, for over 50 years. The business recently moved from its longtime location on Route 123 last summer in hopes of being closer to the downtown area and offering customers more convenience in regards to size and parking. "This location gives people the opportunity to walk in from town," Pippitt said. "It has more of a neighborhood vibe. Now people walk by on their way to the library or the cleaners, or going to and from restaurants. They like to walk around here." It's something Pippitt knows firsthand. A New...

Jun 2, 2017A beautiful tradition: Flowering baskets return to downtown lamp posts
Schutte said.The commission compared notes and use the same watering/maintenance schedule as does New Canaan for their baskets. Th baskets are not without some complications, however.In the past, Schutte said they have received calls in the past from the Darien Police saying the baskets had to be taken down for fear that they would become “living projectiles” in the winds of the hurricane blowing through town. “We also have to be careful on which lampposts we hang the baskets. We cannot block the view of any signage on the lampposts such as parking, state or traffic signs,” Schutte said.She added that at times residents have gotten tickets because they didn’t see the no parking sign due to the basket. This year, the commission also purchased 71 plants in coordinating colors to the basket flowers, and will use these to plant 11 urns in town, both in Darien and Noroton Heights. Commission member Sandy Drimal is responsible for the coordination, purchase, hanging and ongoing maintenance of the baskets and urns.

Feb 9, 2017Not Bread Alone: This Valentine's Day, think original
So it’s no surprise that a bakery is the source for my new wrinkle in Valentine giving. The Forever Sweet Bakery (4 New Canaan Ave., Norwalk) has iced up a Valentine Dozen cupcake assortment — a treat you and your loved one can share. With hearts, flowers, Xs & Os aplenty, and with lots of chocolate, too, it’s got Valentine’s covered.
Forever Sweet is the realization of a dream for Fran and Sky Mercede. Fran is the designer, baker, and creative force behind their spectacular cakes. Sky is the customer service guy, frontman, promoter, and head greeter. Between them, they’ve created a warm, friendly, high-quality cake bakery.
Cakes used to be much simpler — baked layers, buttercream icing, some decorative piping around the edge, the occasional rose, and, for special occasions, your name written in icing script across the top. The Food Channel changed all that. In addition to turning cooking into a gladiatorial contest, it introduced cakes as sculpture, art, and fantasy — confections where structure is more important than flavor and showiness trumps all.
Fran is happy to make you the cake of your dreams, but you can be sure it will be great tasting, too. Yes, she’s made cakes that look like cars, bottles of wine, even beer pouring out of a can. But she’s also made cakes with beautiful icing flowers, stunning color schemes, and impeccably executed simplicity. It takes a good deal of talent and skill to make beautiful looking cakes, but even more care and expertise to make them taste so good.
A few years ago a cupcake craze swept across the country, with cupcakes the size of a loaf of bread. Fortunately, the massive, heavily iced cupcakes with trendy flavors didn’t last. But delicious, traditionally-sized and decorated cupcakes are a mainstay at Forever Sweet. Chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet are the most popular cake flavors. Simply finished with a dollop of icing, they’re an indulgent and satisfying treat.
Don’t get me wrong, you can have chocolate peanut butter, vanilla pink cloud and red velvet cream cheese cake flavors, too. Tiramisu, salted caramel, and beer batter bacon are also in their repertoire for the more adventurous cake seekers. But you can’t beat the classics.
Valentine’s Day as a celebration of love and romance can be traced back to the middle ages, perhaps even as far back as Roman times. It was the Victorians that started many of the traditions so familiar to us now. They were big on cards with hearts, flowers, and lace colorfully done up in reds and pinks.
In the mid 1800s Richard Cadbury, of the famous chocolate-making family, designed decorated tin boxes in Valentine’s themes to sell their chocolates. The chocolate sweets were a welcome gift starting the long-term relationship between Valentine’s and chocolate, and the boxes became popular keepsakes.
In the 20th century the Boston area New England Candy and Confectionery Company (Necco) began marketing heart-shaped sugar candies printed with messages of l... (Thehour.com)
