    A Closer Look at Our Lattes

    After that video blog I’m sure that everyone would love to get a closer look at what our barista artists can do.

    If you ever come in while Efrain or Elias are behind the counter, ask for one of these designs and they’ll create a masterpiece for you.

    Here are a few of the designs they can make.

    Mäni’s Raised A Bunch of Cash For AFA

    Some of you enjoyed your favorite muffin here last Thursday.  Some munched on a sandwich or salad.  Some of you were aware of that day being about helping the less fortunate.
    image

    In either case you helped reach our goal of raising as much as possilbe to benefit a local charity, Aid For Aids LA

    Last Thursday Dine Out LA had a very successful event.  Mäni’s customers came and participated and when the day was over we donated over $1,100.

    Thank you all very much for making Mäni’s a smashing contributor to this event!

    Cheeta’s 75th Birthday Party

    Cheeta the Chimp turned 75 and was lucky enough to have his birthday cake made by Mäni’s on Fairfax.
    image
    He’s pictured here on the cover of West magazine, a section of Sunday’s LA Times

    Cheeta became famous in 1934 when he starred in the original Tarzan movie with Johnny Weissmuller.  While living in Palm Springs, his sweets have been limited.
    image
    Mäni’s to the rescue… Cheeta’s birthday cake was our Chocolate Raspberry Fortress cake, sweetened with our famous fruit juice reduction, and made to look very festive in hot yellow with pink and blue frosting.  He really appreciated having that cake and being able to eat the whole thing without throwing off his blood sugar level.

    If you missed the article in print on Sunday go to The whole story of Cheeta, Cheeta Speaks, from West magazine, LA Times: April 22, 2007

    Aid For Aids LA

Their goals are to prevent homelessness and hunger and to enhance self-sufficiency and independent living.

    Please join us for some great food, drink and desserts and have 20% of your check donated to this deserving cause.  Thank you in advance for your participation.  It is greatly appreciated!

    More on the NEW German Chocolate Cake

    imageMany of you wanted more information about our fabulous, new VEGAN German Chocolate Cake.  Here are some specifics on the size and ingredients.

    CAKE:  Cocoa powder, organic unbleached flour, baking powder, sea salt, egg replacer, ground, decaffeinated organic espresso, organic decaffeinated coffee, tofu, organic maple syrup, canola oil, vanilla extract, white vinegar
    FILLING:  Organic coconut, pecans, organic soy milk, sucanat (sugar cane natural), agar agar, arrowroot, vanilla extract

    As you can see, this cake is made with a lot of high quality, organic ingredients.  The size may seem small at 4” in diameter and 3” tall, but with 3 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling, this really is enough for 2 people. 

    We wanted to make a gourmet, vegan chocolate cake that tastes as good as any other chocolate cake and we wanted it to look beautiful and unique.  It may be a bit much after your lunch, but it is really so delicious, we urge you to take one home to share with someone special.  Or you can keep it all for yourself and have dessert for days.
