Behind the Scenes of a Cake Pop Emergency: Balenciaga Edition
This holiday season has been nothing short of magical and chaotic at NY Cake Pops. From crafting snowmen and glittering Christmas tree pops to fulfilling weekend orders, our team has been working tirelessly to make every sweet moment count. But nothing could have prepared us for the surprise that arrived this week: a last-minute request from Balenciaga. And here’s the kicker—it had to ship to Canada within two hours!
At first, the request felt nearly impossible. We were knee-deep in holiday orders, our kitchen humming with activity as we prepared for a bustling weekend. But when Balenciaga calls, you answer. Their vision? Chic and elegant cake pops that align with their iconic aesthetic.
The clock was ticking, and our team sprang into action. We immediately coordinated flavors, gathered supplies, and crafted a design that mirrored Balenciaga’s sleek style—all while ensuring every other order for the day stayed on track. It was a flurry of activity, creativity, and determination, proving once again that we thrive under pressure (even if it’s not always the most comfortable situation!).
With moments to spare, the pops were packaged to perfection and shipped out. It’s in these moments of chaos that we’re reminded of why we do what we do: to bring joy through edible art. Whether it’s for a high-fashion brand or a family celebrating the holidays, every cake pop we create carries a piece of our passion.
While we’re incredibly proud to have pulled this off, it’s also a moment to reflect on the importance of pacing ourselves, especially during the busiest time of the year. This whirlwind day was a testament to our team’s resilience and teamwork, but also a reminder that we need to balance our time and energy to continue delivering at the level we strive for.
To our loyal customers, thank you for your patience and support during this busy season. Your trust allows us to keep pushing the boundaries of what we can do, whether it’s a holiday set for your family or a fashion-forward project for Balenciaga.
Here’s to a season of sweet surprises and even sweeter moments. Now, back to making your holiday orders as magical as possible!
xo,
Lerida & Team
