One sunny morning in Los Angeles, Roger and Milena were enjoying their daily ritual: savoring freshly brewed coffee and indulging in one of Milena’s perfectly baked treats.
Roger, passionate as ever about coffee, was describing the subtle flavors of his latest espresso roast while Milena reflected on a recent sugar cookie she had crafted for a celebrity client. As they shared ideas, a spark of inspiration hit them.
What if they combined their two passions—Roger’s love for coffee and Milena’s incredible baking skills—into something unique?
That day, RR Coffee Bar and Milena Sweets took on a new vision. They decided to create an experience where customers could enjoy exceptional specialty coffee alongside beautifully crafted baked goods. Roger, meticulous and precise with his coffee-making process, saw this as an opportunity to elevate the experience by pairing the perfect espresso or pour-over with one of Milena’s delicate pastries. Whether it was a rich latte paired with a buttery croissant or a light cappuccino alongside a sugar cookie shaped to perfection, each combination was crafted to delight the senses.Milena, known for her creativity and quick turnaround in baking, saw endless possibilities in designing baked goods that complemented the complex flavors of Roger’s coffee. The two brainstormed a series of signature pairings, where customers could order a package that featured both the artisan coffee from RR Coffee Bar and bespoke treats from Milena Sweets.The fusion of Roger’s passion for consistency and precision with Milena’s artistry and speed became the foundation of this new offering.

When it comes to wedding traditions, few treats are as symbolic as Jordan almonds.
These sugar-coated almonds have been a part of wedding celebrations for centuries, serving as a meaningful and delicious favor for guests. At Milena Sweet, we cherish the beauty of traditions and are proud to offer these timeless confections, blending history with our creative touch.
The Origins of Jordan Almonds
Jordan almonds, also known as confetti in Italian and dragée in French, trace their roots back to ancient times. Historically, almonds were believed to bring good fortune and happiness, and the practice of coating them in sugar was intended to symbolize the sweetening of life. This custom became especially popular in Italy and Greece, where the tradition grew to incorporate weddings as a symbol of the bittersweet nature of marriage—bitter from the almond and sweet from the sugar.
The Meaning Behind the AlmondsTraditionally, Jordan almonds are given in clusters of five to represent five key wishes for the newlyweds: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. The number five is important, as odd numbers are indivisible, symbolizing the union between the couple, which cannot be divided.
Jordan Almonds in Modern Weddings
Though times have changed, the tradition of gifting Jordan almonds endures. These sweet treats are often placed in elegant organza bags or decorative boxes, adding a personal touch to the wedding favors. They’re not just a nod to tradition; they also add a sophisticated element to the table settings, often doubling as beautiful décor.
At Milena Sweet, we elevate the tradition of Jordan almonds by offering personalized packaging and custom touches that fit the theme of any wedding.
