#ad21+ When @makersmark approached me about a partnership for their “Toast to Remarkable NYC” program, I was genuinely excited. I loved that they wanted to commission an actual public artwork (rather than a marketing activation for an event). Plus, I grew up in Kentucky and "Maker's on the rocks" has been my go-to bar order for many years. 🥃 ➡️ Exhibit A = photo of the cupcakes that I made for my own birthday party 2012: rosemary and brown sugar cake + pecan pie filling + bourbon (Maker's obvi) Swiss meringue buttercream. ➡️ Exhibit B = photo of me from 2011 at the Maker's Mark distillery in KY, dipping my own bottle in the signature red wax. I was also pleased to learn that they are the largest distillery in the world to earn B Corp Certification (which means they have to meet high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials). I even read all 87 pages of their B Corp assessment just to make sure I knew what they were about! 😅 . . . .
