I had another dessert tasting last night. I do love them! It's always fun to work with a bride who wants her wedding desserts to be something other than cake! (Although I love cake, I really LOVE everything else!)

Here are a few pictures. Her colors are going to be wine and chocolate and she wanted desserts that would go well with wine. We wound up going with some seasonal favorites (it'll be an October wedding) that will be served on trays to each table after dinner service. Very interactive, very fun, very different and there is sure to be something there for everyone.

I adore figs and use them whenever I can! This can be a crowd favorite if your guests are foodies or food adventurous! (Maple Mascarpone Stuffed Figs with Butter Cookie)

Two more personal favorites! Blackberry Financier (talk about comfort food!) and Citrus Goat Cheese Tarts with Blueberries and Currants (definitely more savory than sweet, but a great go-with-wine type of dessert!).
