A Ceremony by the Sea

A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to create a rustic nautical dessert table scape, for the now newlywed, Katie and Chris. 

Remember my earlier post, in which I asked, "if you were the bride and groom, which desserts would you choose?"   Well, that was Katie and Chris!  And I must say, they made some delicious choices! 

Petit Fours From Left to Right: Vanilla Cheesecake Bites w/ Fresh Blackberry Garnish and Sauce, Pumpkin Meringue Tartelette,  Apple Oatmeal Crisp Tartelette, and Decadent Fudge Brownies with Espresso Ganache.

K & C  wanted their guests to have a choice when it came to dessert, but they also wanted a cake, just for the two of them to slice and share. 

Vanilla Bean Cake filled with Vanilla Swiss Buttercream, fresh Blackberries and Raspberries. Decorated with  Meringue sticks, and fresh berries.  Wrapped in a "tree bark" tie, and ribbon that states, "We Tied the Knot!"

...Um....excuse me.... Mr. Pelican?  I'm pretty sure you're not on the guest list, and.... oh....wait.... you were invited....and, you're not real....


Just one of the reasons why I loved working with this couple -- I enjoyed the quirkiness of the props they wanted to use.  It made the table really playful and fun!

Rustic Nautical Table Scape



This was my first official table scape, and I was very excited to bring it to life!



A few days ago, I received a wonderful e-mail from the Mother of the Bride, Mrs. Kent:
"Dear Mariana,   I just want to let you know that your desserts were over the top!!! They were a tremendous hit. Your display was wonderful too. I have several wedding guests that want your card and number. A  family member would like to contact you to do her Christmas party. I can't thank you enough for making Katie and Chris's so extra special."

Thank You Katie, Chris, and Mrs. Kent! It was a pleasure!
