While I was at
Epcot this weekend, I was inspired to write this blog. We stopped in France for
some pastries and coffee. Mind=blow! If you are looking for a unique way
to customize your wedding cake or dessert bar, you have come to the right
place! Couples have been straying away from tradition and provide different
dessert options for their guests. From cupcake wedding cakes to a full sugar
free dessert bar, couples are customizing their selections to reflect their
style and personality.
I’m going to
touch on 2 of my favorite cultural experiences since I traveled around the
world in one day sampling the different tastes of the countries!
An interesting
French twist to the traditional wedding cake is not only a taste difference but
as an architectural structure. The traditional French Croquembouche contains layers of crème puffs drizzled in caramel that are constructed into a large pyramid. Guests can easily eat their dessert with their fingers and the
crème filling will make for fun, and messy, cake smashing! Adding a pastry
bar with croissants, macaroons, fruit tarts and crème brûlée will excite the
guests and give it an overall French feel.
Italian wedding cake is pretty incredible. White cake, already my favorite, with crushed
pineapple, coconut, and pecans all iced in a vanilla buttercream… yum!!! You
can have your entire tiered cake as an Italian wedding cake, or, you can choose
to have a simple single round for you and your hubby. A cool idea for additional
desserts would be having a whole dessert bar full of authentic Italian desserts.
Cannoli, tiramisu, and even a cheese board combined with a wine and espresso
bar would complete
the Italian cafe theme.
Whether you decide
to stick with tradition, or explore your many options, try to reflect your
personalities and style in your decisions. It's your day and it should be
special to you! If you have any further questions or would like more
information about how to customize your menu, please don’t hesitate to send me
a message!
Cupcake wedding cake? That sounds like a really cool idea:)
ReplyDeleteYes! They are becoming very popular!! They are also inexpensive when compared to a large traditional cake! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Alyssa! I found this post to particularly interesting since I'm a dessert person myself. It's a wonder to see how so many amazing things can be made and eaten! I think there should be more advertising for creative dessert makers. There are millions of events around the world that could be made a little more unique with a 7 foot cake or edible flower garden. I think you've brought a great topic to light that an dessert fan should take a look at (especially if they're getting married!). This was a great post! Keep up the good work!
