We create desserts as unique and special as you and your event. We believe you CAN have you cake and eat it too, but you can also have mousse, pies and tarts, crème brûlée, or éclairs! Special events are just that, SPECIAL and nothing says PARTY like those sweet little bites at the end of the party.

Christina and Mickey - River Highlands Ranch

I met Christina and Mickey through Kendra Pfeiffer of Pfeiffer Event Planning. What a darling, sweet couple. They were married last month at River Highlands Ranch near Grass Valley. What an amazing venue! Yes, it was country, no, it was not rustic. It was just beautiful.

Special thanks to Bruce Robinson for these pictures.

The Bride was recently diagnosed with Celiac (gluten intolerant), so we made smaller versions of the large chocolate mousse cups for the guests for her darling Groom to feed her.Don't you just adore the wheat grass base for the cake?
Lastly, a brief note on the cake, the Bride and Groom described the buttercream technique as "ceiling spackle", I call it "homestyle", but either way, it is a soft, relaxed, romantic look and when paired with the flowers and the wheat grass base it was perfect for their reception. Special note, if you have a smaller cake, place the cake on a bar height cocktail table, it'll give you additional height and the smaller surface area will make the diminutive size of the cake feel a little more in proportion!

Mini Abstract Chocolate Sculpture/ Dessert Pedistal

Pictured of some little place chocolate sculptures/dessert pedestals that I made for Wershing and Ward Eventeurs for their Chocolate Table that was entered into the tabletop design contest this past week at NACE's (National Association of Catering Executives) monthly meeting. This month was out at Wilson Vineyards and boy was it hot... so hot that the sculptures were starting to melt as soon as they were put out. This changed the look at bit... the little tartlet that is shown on the side was supposed to be on TOP of the sculpture... and the part that you don't see is that under the chocolate dome is another tartlet (kind of a hidden surprise). The tartlet was a salted caramel and chocolate tartlet with gold and silver leaf on top.


This is a great idea for an edible favor that can pull double duty as table decoration!


Enjoy!
