AND DON'T FORGET THE FIRST THURSDAY CUPCAKE AND MACAROON QUEENS DEBUT AT NOSH EATERY THIS WEEK; A Mouthful of Surprises

Finally! Cupcakes in San Pedro! And now there will be macaroons too!

From 6 to 9 .m. Dec. 4, this Thursday, stop off at Nosh and try some of these delicious treats. Nosh is located at 617 S. Centre Street in San Pedro.

As you know, I've written many times now about my friend Rose Cigliano starting a cupcake rage here in the South Bay with her scrumptious pumpkin with cream cheese frosting along with red velvet cupcakes (not to mention the many other kinds she has) that will slide warmly down your throat. Come in and taste these treats and order for your holiday needs. You can visit her website @ http://www.italiancuppacakes.com/. or order through Nosh.

But don't forget about those macaroons.

Michelle Sanders, who came aboard Nosh to manage the kitchen, will debut her macaroons, which she has served at weddings and baby showers., the same evening The 2008 Cordon Bleu graduate started working with Susan McKenna, owner of Nosh, about six weeks ago, agreeing to help manage the kitchen.

Michelle has ten different flavors of macaroons that can be served for the holidays, including lemon vanilla and chocolate.

While she lives in Carson and was working in restaurants such as Providence in Los Angeles and La Mill Coffee in Silver Lake, her San Pedro boyfriend wanted her to try Nosh. "I just started talking to Susan and it just happened (to come aboard) at the right time. It's been fun learning the way she prepares food."
