Send a few favorite photos to Texas-based Manjar (Spanish for “delicacy”) and the bakery can turn them into edible Instagram posts for you, as well as create sugar cookies frosted to look like the popular social media company’s camera icon. There is no minimum order, and clients can send in as many different photos as they’d like. For larger orders, call at least two weeks in advance. Also on Manjar’s hipster-approved cookie menu are sweets shaped and frosted to look like Wayfarer sunglasses, mustaches, Polaroid photos, and vintage cameras.

Kim Crawford Wines' "Sip Into Summer"
Another creation was rosé sorbet. The team shared the recipe: Bring sugar and water to a boil and allowing it to simmer until the sugar dissolves. Cool and mix in Kim Crawford Rosé, then freeze in a loaf pan. Process in a food processor until its smooth, and then freeze again until it’s firm and ready to serve.
