The wedding cake toppers stand about 4½” tall, in dark, milk or white chocolate. There are suave grooms in tuxedos and sleek brides in slim runway gowns (chocolate), at $25 per pair. If your brides are old-fashioned, there are “Classic Romantic Brides” in billowing wedding gowns at $35 per pair (more chocolate!). In either style, the gown and bouquet (or tux and boutonniere) can be custom-colored to match the theme of the ceremony. You can buy just one, of course.

Even if no one is marching down the aisle, these cake toppers are charming gifts for committed same-sex couples. You can order them online or by phone; or if you’re in New York City, visit Martine at 400 East 82nd Street (right off 1st Avenue) or her boutique at Bloomingdale’s, 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. Or head directly to MartinesChocolates.com.

Here come the grooms—and they’re delicious!

Say “allo” to Alo Original Aloe Drink.

The same gel-like sap that has medicinal and cosmetic uses is also made into beverages and other foods, popular in Asia. They can be absolutely delicious—juicy, fruity and fun—they’re filled with chewy pieces of aloe pulp. The challenge over the years we’ve been tasting them in the U.S. has been that they’ve been limited to Asian grocery distribution.

Now, through an arrangement with Ito-en, maker of the Top Pick Teas’ Tea line of bottled teas that have wide distribution in premium food markets, you’ll be seeing more of Alo Original Alo Drink (it’s also available online). It’s a better sweet drink for kids, who will love the floating pieces of aloe pulp and the groovy colors, and it’s hip and sophisticated for adults. Alo is a juice drink, a cocktail mixer and can be frozen into popsicles.
