Balloons and Cupcakes is now serving Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!
That is right, our new location has decided to
serve grilled cheese sandwiches. We have taken our grilled cheese
sandwiches to the next level while ensuring that the classic nature of
the sandwich that we all remember from our childhood remains intact.
Sandwiches are prepared with our special butter sauce on Deli Style
Bread filled with a hefty portion of shredded cheese and served with
your choice of house made dipping sauces: Creamy Pesto Parmesan, Secret
Red or Honey Mustard. Our mission with the grilled cheese sandwich
is to ensure that the best melted cheese sandwich is available only
at........that's right, a balloon and cupcake store.

Wow!
We were super excited to watch the behind the
scenes action of another company that
specializes in
balloon sculptures and designs last night! Unpoppables
provided a fairly accurate look at the industry,
showing everything from the amount of time it
takes to design, inflate and bring to life a
single element in a design to the use of various
types of balloons including: the 260Qs, 350Qs,
646Qs and even bee bodies!
We can't wait to see the next episode
about New Balloon Art called the
Unpoppables on TLC Monday nights at 8pm.
In the meantime check out some of our balloon
themed art we have created over the last 13
years.

Who Is Wally?
Several years ago the owners of
Balloon Wizards had a talented artist friend named Heather. We
told her that we have a business idea and we need a logo.
So she got out her paint brush and drew up the Balloon
Wizards logo that you see today. After we opened our
first retail shop in Des Moines, WA on Marine View Drive
South, We held a contest; "Name Our Wizard" The winning
name, of course, was Wally. Submitted by our favorite
State
Farm Agent, Vicki Bergquist. With the winning name she
received a $40 gift certificate to Balloon Wizards.
Thank you Vicki, for giving our little blue wizard an
identity. |
