Pin-Up Pastries is Sweet


It's always exciting to see one of your friends do something fantastic. I've been friends with Erin Garcia, the owner and executive pastry chef of Pin-Up Pastries for quite a few years now. After working as a personal chef, and in many of New York's top kitchens, she's now running the show in her tasty new sweets shop.

Garcia's pastries totally hit the mark. What I like best about them is that they're not cloyingly sweet. By using high quality ingredients & amazing technique, Garcia is able to make satisfying deserts that don't overwhelm. Especially impressive are her macrons, which come in a variety of exciting flavors.

The store, decorated with namesake pin-up photos, is located at 13944 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. Check it out!
