CrEATe Introduces Organic Shaved Ice For Summer 2016 #BeUtahful

Are you from Utah, know someone in Utah, or plan on visiting Utah in the near future? Then listen up, there's this great little dessert place in Sandy, UT, below Alta Ski Resort, called CrEATe (get it, you Create your own dessert and then you EAT it!). It is based on a simple concept--choose your basic dessert and then design it with toppings, glazes and fillings of your choice. Only your imagination can limit you! The even greater part about this one-of-a-kind establishment is that owner, Ladonnia Jones has made sure that the ingredients are gluten free, additive-free, freshly made, and as wholesome as a sweet treat can be! It takes out some of the guilt one might typically feel when indulging a very unruly and hard to manage sugar addiction. I know I felt totally OK about eating these desserts!!!! When I eat the wonderful gelato, I know it is made with organic sugar, whole food ingredients and is gluten-free! But enough about me--

Disclosure: This review was not compensated. I did, however, receive samples of some products to facilitate the review!

Dessert Connoisseurs everywhere are raving about CrEATe because of the sheer variety and quality of their desserts and ingredients! Open less than 6 months, they already have an average 5-Star Rating on Yelp with 46 reviews! One great description I read is that it is a "Disneyland of Sweetness", which it truly is! As I toured the facility, I came upon this quote in the prep area, "Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it." You can definitely see that pure energy devoted to everything that is done at CrEATe! From the thoughtfully designed decor and cozy corners to the deliciousness that comes on a plate, bowl, or in a cup.

Another Cozy Corner

This month they are rolling out another great dessert option, just in time for summer---organic shaved ice! It is different than ordinary shaved ice because it is organic, gluten-free and vegan. There are no artificial flavors or colors in it and you can definitely taste the difference! A suggestion to try is a strawberry peppermint shaved ice. It is so refreshing and delicious! Or how about the root beer shaved ice with a dollop of vanilla gelato! It tastes exactly like a root beer float! Again, more chances to be creative and experiment until you CrEATe your own taste masterpiece! Hope to see you there! Come with a sweet tooth!

A Sweet Gift From California Delicious!

 Located between San Francisco and Napa and Sonoma counties, California Delicious has access to some of the finest California produce and other products. Do you need to find something really nice for someone who doesn't live right next to you?  I would suggest letting California Delicious do it for you.  They are experts at what they do!

Sweets For Your Sweetie Gift Tower

Just some of the treats I received

I received an early Valentine Gift from California Delicious! I got to sample their Happy Valentine's Day Gourmet Gift Basket! The sturdy basket came looking very pretty all wrapped up in a pretty bow and cellophane for freshness.    Now, I am a bonified chocolate fan, as attested by my Pinterest Board and those who know me! I was very interested in what kind of chocolate would be included.  I loved the Triple chocolate brownie, the Ghiradelli Chocolate bar, and the Godiva Truffles!  I liked the balance between sweet and salty.  The salty was good with the Smoked Almonds, and the cheese spread and crackers!  There were plenty of treats to enjoy myself and share with members of the family.  It was a big hit with everyone!

My Basket came wrapped like this!

California Delicious has hundreds of options to choose from.  From fruit baskets to Chocolate Towers to wine baskets to Gifts For Her and Gifts For Him.  Basically, if you want to send your Aunt's 2nd Cousin's Secretary a celebratory gift on the acquisition of her first cat, there is definitely something at California Delicious, starting at just $19.99.  I think the only reason NOT to think about sending a gift basket is if the person lives somewhere like Russia.  Now, if they are coming BACK from Sochi because they are participators or spectators at the Olympics, by all means a gift basket from California Delicious is in order!!!!

Right now California Delicious is having a great special.  It's called Give A Gift, Get A Gift and it's just that!  "No kidding…We will send you a nakedwines.com gift card valued at $50 for every gift* that you send from California Delicious.  It’s our way of saying Thanks for your business!"  This is only while supplies last, so hurry!
