Weddings - also known as Fairy Tales with Cake and Dessert...



Fairy tales exist.
They really do.

Especially when they involve lots of cakes and more desserts than you can count.

Oh wait, think we call those weddings! ;)
> Check out how we 'bake with love'

We had a chance to get involved with one of those fairy tale weddings recently, with a very apt 'Fairy Tale Knights' theme... bliss!
         > Get some sweet treats:
            Sugar & Spice
            Sweet, Sweet Strawberries

The couple chose a lovely silver, pink and white as their wedding colors, and we were thrilled to play a part creating their church luncheon dessert table, and the wedding gala dinner at night.

The Wedding Dessert Table
We had their theme colors accentuating the cute mini desserts

And itty-bitty personalized tags with the couple's
names and wedding emblem 

A little kerfuffle of panic when the air-conditioning
didn't work (humidity is dessert's worst enemy!),
but it got sorted and everything turned out perfectly.

Dessert world's definition of 'living life on the edge' LOL.  

The color-themed candy bar piled high with happiness
in all sorts of pink and white shapes and forms

Spot the Knights & Castle centerpiece, with
hidden mini cupcakes scattered around ...

Do you feel dreamy yet?

Glorious blooms adding zing to every table


The Gala Dinner
The amazing dinner ballroom, just minutes before the guests arrived

Our pride and joy - the 2-tier wedding cake
awash in pink and white blooms

Every one of the 130 guests received a
hand-wrapped slice of wedding cake to bring home

It was a mad day with too little sleep and too much to do,
but a beautiful note of thanks wiped all that away in a snap.
So. Worth. It.
