Since I have a sweet tooth I
make it a point to seldom go where sweets are the bill-of-fare. And if you
share the dilemma of hips that seem to widen whenever you’re around any sugary
food, I know that you understand all I mean without my having to belabor the
point, so ‘enough said.’ At least I’ve said enough, until tongue-in-cheek, I
share that I asked my publisher to book a signing for me at Powell’s Sweet
Shoppe. That’s right, I did! And I almost left without sampling anything, which
I believe shows how amazing my Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing book signing
was thanks to the help that treated me as one would a very special guest, and
those popping in for last minute Easter treats, a birthday party that outdid
any I’ve been to or made, or to watch parents as their kids shopped or they themselves eyed and
bought sweets to varied and delectable to mention here. Although now that I’m
salivating I must rave about their cherry gelato with pieces of cherry that
brought the sweet smooth treat to a level hereto not experienced by this
confection lover. And of course I’d be remiss if I did not tell you about the
handmade candy confections that were larger than I’d ever seen before! But
again I must remind myself that this blog is not about the sweets though you
must drop by Powel’s Sweet Shoppe in Laguna Niguel ,

Yet as delightful as the
confections both sugar-free and not where it’s the help and those that popped
in that made this book event stellar! And stellar it was from the perfect
weather which allowed me to sit outside and talk with those passing by, to the
gentleman who while waiting for the birthday party his daughter was attending
inside to end went inside and reappeared with a cold Diet Coke for me to drink.
Since I remembered that while visiting the place before my booking to speak
with Melissa who managers the location, I had thought of it as WILLIE WONKA ON
STERIODS, I was amazed that this man could go in and come out in a matter of
moments! For I believed that no one could do that! Perhaps it was the small theater
area where the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory runs nonstop. Perhaps the
fact that from floor to ceiling every detail of the place says ‘Yummy in the
Tummy,’ or as I am wont to believe, perhaps it was because this confectioners
and sweet lovers dream is what we all wish life could be like… Yummy with a
capital YUM and fun!
Think I’m overstating?
Hardly! Where else can one literally have their cake and eat it to? My answer, Powel’s
Sweet Shoppe where being sweet is not an affectation, not pure conjugation, not
done by the staff because it’s what’s expected, but really, truly experienced
by one and all because the setting, help, and every delectable treat was
selected by those who know that individuals, a party of any size, as well as a
really good treat is best enjoyed when experienced by those that love it while
surrounded by those that care!
