Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal Cake & Dessert Table

For their 10th anniversary, our wonderful wedding vendor friend Jackie Just of Just Bloomed had a vow renewal ceremony with her husband.  It was a beautiful & bright backyard ceremony with pops of red, orange and teal. Her mini dessert table included a centerpiece cake along with chocolate mini cupcakes, banana pudding dessert shooters, and vanilla cake lollipops.  So many great vendors contributed to make the day extra special for the couple (see credits at the end of the post).  Congratulations, Jackie and Dave!

Rustic Outdoor Wedding Mini Dessert Table: Erin & Brett

Erin and Brett had a gorgeous, outdoor summer wedding at Gale Woods Farm on Whaletail Lake in Minnetrista, MN.  With a ceremony site that overlooks the lake and a big, red barn as the reception space, their day was full of rustic charm.  

The dessert table included Lemon Raspberry and Peanut Butter Mini Cupcakes, Salted Caramel French Macarons, Mini Chocolate Chunk Cookies, and Fresh Fruit Tartlets.  Their centerpiece cake was a Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake with fresh flowers accenting the top.  The bride provided all of the cake stands and platters herself along with the adorable "Sweets" sign and monogram table accents.

Congrats to Erin and Brett, and special thanks to Geneoh Photography for the amazing photos.  See more images of the wedding at Geneoh Photography's blog.

Twin Cities Wedding Mini Dessert Table and 4 Tier Cake: Jordyn & Pete

This soft and romantic cake and dessert table is a nice twist on the vintage theme.  We knew right away that this would be a fun table to put together.  The bride, groom, and bride's mother came in with lots of ideas.  And it didn't hurt that the MOB owns a vintage furniture store!

This 4 tier wedding cake with pale pink cream cheese icing and dusty peach sugar flowers was the perfect focal point for this table.  Arranged in an old suitcase lined with silk, this cake was filled with vanilla bean cake layered with rich chocolate ganache, vanilla bean mousse and crushed fresh raspberries.

Mini desserts included Black Velvet Cake Lollipops, Southern Banana Pudding and Dark Chocolate Dessert Shooters, Vanilla French Macarons Tinted Pink, Sinfully Chocolate Mini Cupcakes, and Carrot Cake Cupcakes.

I love the subtle color palette and refined rustic-ness  (yes, I did just create my own word!) of it all.  And this is a perfect example of a gorgeous cake with not one ounce of fondant - for those who are always asking me for alternatives.

This wedding was also featured on the Half Baked blog so check it out there too!
