MUSEUM OF ILLUSIONS - Soft Opening
 

As a small business in the Dallas community, Make Your Life Sweeter® is always so excited to support and promote new local businesses. Last weekend, our team served sweet treats for the soft opening of the Museum of Illusions here in Dallas! Only a select list of guests were invited to explore the museum for the very first time. The museum is filled with mind-tricking and exciting exhibits. As they like to say, “nothing is as it seems and the unbelievable truly becomes a reality.”

To kick things off, our team served a Gourmet Hotpoppin Popcorn bar with a variety of tasty flavors including Buffalo Hot Wing and Better than Chicago! In addition, our team created a signature Hotpoppin flavor for the opening.  Orange Creamsicle is a fruity yet creamy new flavor designed to match the museum’s branding.

Amidst the sweetness, magicians performed magic tricks, the DJ brought all the music vibes, and photographers captured guest experiences. We continued the amazement with our signature Lychee Martini. 

Here, our Zphere Edible Vapor Bubble sits atop a tropical, color changing concoction and then bursts into a cloud of sweetness.

SHELBY ROBERTS WEDDING

Through the years, I have had the opportunity to create in depth friendships with many of my beloved clients. In my personal experience, I find that it makes life a little sweeter for both sides if you’re able to connect on a deeper level! I pride myself on connections and relationships with others, so when I was asked to attend the wedding of my dear friend and client Shelby Roberts (head of marketing for Lyft Dallas), I was happy to accept!

Located at the fabulous Joule hotel in downtown Dallas, my team and I arrived to begin setup for the nights festivities. After we set up for the reception, the Make Your Life Sweeter® team hurried down to watch the ceremony, which Shelby so graciously invited my whole team to! As I watched Shelby and Kyle share vows and prayers, I realized how joyful it was to see two people share so much love for one another. It was truly something magical!

After the ceremony, everyone made their way across the street and back up to the Joule Ballroom where they were all welcomed with a HotPoppin™ Gourmet Popcorn Bar with guests able to choose between 5 different assorted flavors!

During the reception, Shelby dedicated a table to my team and I so that we could be apart of her special day! After the decadent 5 course meal, we were all welcomed with speeches and dancing to last us through the night!

As guests made their way to take a dance break, they were able to grab a sweet little treat to end the night! Attendees were able to take an item from the Make Your Life Sweeter® Dessert Bar and could choose between an assortment of Le Mod Macarons, ModChocolate or Sugaire® Organic Cotton Candy!

As my team and I started to cleanup our station, I was approached by Shelby, who could not stop thanking me for making her special day so much sweeter! I am so thankful and so lucky to have such amazing and extraordinary clients like Shelby. It is such a great feeling to know that I have such great clients that can turn into lifelong friends!

Through this partnership, the Instagram team and I have had the opportunity to merge our photogenic materials with a highly adaptable platform for the biggest social media company in the world.

The Make Your Life Sweeter® team and I arrived in San Fransisco to begin setup for the days event. As we arrived to Instagrams corporate office, I was amazed at how beautiful the facility was. Throughout the year, I have had the opportunity to visit many different Instagram and Facebook offices across the country and have been astonished as to how every office has the same structure, but completely different layouts in every city.

Every year, the State Fair of Texas® promotes education, agriculture, and community involvement in a safe and family-friendly environment. This past September, the Make Your Life Sweeter® team was asked to participate and make life a little sweeter for a selected group of people for a party at the State Fair!

My team and I arrived earlier in the day to begin setup for the nights event. I was so excited when I found out that in order to get to the Hall of State, I had to actually drive through the fair and was able to see everything before it was open for the season. I was such a cool experience to be able to see the famous areas like “midway” completely empty!

As my team finished setup, we were able to walk around and see that the famous Hall of State was decorated from head to toe. The building itself is something out of a dream, and so remarkably beautiful. The theme for the night was influential people that were born in the great state of Texas! As you make your way through the main hall, you’d find cutout posters of Mathew McConaughey and famous memorabilia like Star Wars’ very own Chewbacca costume! It was so fascinating to be able to see all of the influential people that have graced our beautiful state of Texas.

As guests made their way into the party, they were all welcomed with a Hotpoppin™ Gourmet Popcorn Bar with a choice of 4 different assorted flavors! Everyone loved the popcorn bar and couldn’t get enough! It was the perfect addition to the party and was so delightful to see everyone’s face light up when they were handed some sweet treats!

After the party, guests were ushered outside to see a private performance by one of the most gifted dancing teams I had ever seen, the night ended with fireworks and an amazing light show! I was so thankful to have had the opportunity to participate in such an amazing event, until next year!
