Love on a Silver Platter

by Ramona Saviss | Angeleno magazine | February 6, 2012

One decadent plate at the JW Marriott Hotel’s L.A. Market Restaurant is making it easy to forgo the usual box of chocolates this Feb. 14. From homemade Hostess-style cupcakes to heart-shaped Rice Krispie treats and a strawberry milkshake with two straws, the sugar-coated spread ($9), created by pastry chef Alexandre Vacher, serves two lovebirds—or four if all parties are willing to share. One bite of a signature snowball (chocolate cake capped with gooey marshmallow icing and rolled in coconut) is sure to have you smitten. And for those guests who don’t make it out the door, the V-Day platter is also available through room service. True love has never been sweeter. 900 W.
