Ahem, please pardon the interruption, but I need to pause your busy day for a very important announcement: corsages made out of croissants are now a thing [1], and yes, I'm already looking into enrolling in high school again now that I have a reason to attend the prom once more. If you have a prom-bound teen — or a wedding, bridal shower, or any other fancy event, really — Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen has turned its signature honey butter croissants into a wrist accessory and even went the extra mile by involving a nearby florist to surround the flaky pastry in roses and baby's breath.
"Such similar words, yet so, so different! But now, they don't have to be — especially when they go so well together!" reads Cheddar's website. "Give your prom date a corsage they'll never forget!"
Unfortunately, for many of us, Cheddar's croissant corsages [3] are only available for purchase through the chain's Dallas location. However, if you are local, to get your hands wrist on one in time for a prom night, your order must be placed before 5 p.m. on Tuesday the week of the event and can be picked up at Petals and Stems in Dallas on either Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. The corsage will run you $20, but Cheddar's is apparently on a mission to make everyone's day better and will also throw in a $10 gift card to use at one of its locations whenever you'd like.
The honey butter croissants are four for $3 normally, so I guess we'll be buying 12 more pastries with our gift cards, should we make it down to Dallas in time for the promotion . . .
