A First Dessert Table

I am so thrilled to be posting those pictures today! This dessert table came to life with the help of my friend Laetitia, owner of Praline Bakeshop (he website is under construction, but I will let you know as soon as it is ready!), the well known specialty cookie vendor at the Century City farmer's market.



When we were asked to create a dessert table to celebrate a wedding anniversary, we combined our expertise to offer an array of delectable sweets. From the main two-tier cake to lemon tarts, English toffee bars, choux à la crème, white chocolate marshmallows, sugar cookies, French macaroons, and cupcakes (of course!), we had something to please every guests present to this family affair. So now the pictures...


Who can resisit a bowl of M&M?


The party favors


Simple bow on the cake


Design inspired by Polka Dots Cookies and Cakes


Choux à la crème, or profiteroles, are the perfect bite-size treats


Chocolate cupcakes with hazelnut filling and vanilla buttercream


White chocolate marshmallow on sticks


One of my favorites: English toffee bars


Amazingly light and tasty, almond vanilla and lavander French macaroons


Hummm...


Sugar cookies


An extra treat to take home


Voilà!
