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.  Grilled Cheese Menu Here!

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.
