This year, we’ve been inspired by the celebrated royal Fabergé eggs to design our Christmas Ornament holiday collection.
These majestic creations are known all over the world for their unique artistry and exquisiteness. In 1885, Tsar Alexander III commissioned the House of Fabergé, to design the first ornamental egg known as the Hen Egg, for his wife Empress Maria Feodorovna as a gift to her for the Easter holiday.
Each year after that, Fabergé would create a new ornamental egg for the Tsar to continue this tradition for his beloved wife, which later his son Nicholas II also continued for his own wife. These imperial eggs became more elaborate and innovative in their design, with intricate details and mechanisms, vibrant colors and precious stones.
Our Bon Vivant Christmas Ornament collection is a romantic and whimsical tribute to the magnificent beauty of these treasures. Our handcrafted petit cakes are created in the most decadent flavors of Rose Petal, Lemon Zest, and Bourbon Vanilla, featuring luscious fondant in rich jewel tones of amethyst, gold and turquoise, and each cake is adorned with a pearlized sugar flower or golden snowflake for a festive holiday touch.
The Christmas Ornament collection is available to preorder online at bonvivantnewyork.com. The Christmas Ornament Petit Four flight will be available starting Thanksgiving at The Regency Bar & Grill at Loews Regency New York.
