Laura and Tom were such a fun couple to work with that we knew their wedding would be a day filled with fun, laughter, and lots of special touches. Check out some photographs from their beautiful September wedding at the Nicollet Island Pavilion, including desserts by yours truly!

Lindsey & Nick

When Lindsey and Nick told us about the term they had coined for their wedding - "urbustic" (urban-rustic), we knew that we were going to have a blast designing their wedding cake for the big day!  This three tier cake design incorporated a modern fondant ruffled tier, two solid gold tiers, and also one of the cutest cake toppers we've ever seen.  Enjoy the pictures of these two lucky ducks and their wedding cake!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

 Abbey & Mike's wedding day was a perfect way to encapsulate all that is wonderful about winter. From fur shawls and carriage rides, to hot chocolate bars and delicious desserts! Cocoa & Fig provided a miniature dessert table and cake for the big day.  The desserts tied in with the wintery theme with hints of silver and fruit tarlets topped with blackberries and blueberries.  Other dessert offerings included French macarons, mini apple pies, tiramisu dessert shooters, dark chocolate dessert shooters, cake lollipops, and mini cupcakes. The wedding cake had a rustic, spackled buttercream exterior, garnished with fresh succulents and an adorable pair of Mr. and Mrs. lovebirds.

A Winter Wonderland

We were lucky enough to be invited to do a photoshoot at the incredible Ice Castle at the Mall of America.  The gorgeous ice formations provided the perfect background for our wintery dessert table. The centerpiece of the dessert table was a beautiful white and silver fondant decorated cake, topped with a delicate gumpaste flower.  The miniature dessert offerings included French macarons, heart-shaped raspberry handpies, Russian tea cakes, key lime dessert shooters, coconut mini cupcakes, and mini chocolate chunk cookies. 

 

 

 

Thank you to all of the awesome vendors who participated! It was certainly a very fun and icy day!

Dreaming of Summer: Dessert Table & Flowers

      As we brave the sub-zero temperatures that a Minnesota winter inevitably brings, we find ourselves dreaming of summer.  One wedding that practically screams warmth and sunshine is Annie and Michael's.  The couple held their ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Semple Mansion, Annie's mom is a floral designer, and provided all of the gorgeous flowers for the big day.  Cocoa & Fig provided a delicious dessert table, which included French macarons, dessert shooters, mini cupcakes, peanut butter sandwich cookies, fresh fruit tartlets, and a centerpiece cake garnished with a fresh succulent.  

 

  

 

 

 We hope these gorgeous pictures of Annie and Michael's wedding day helped to warm you up a bit!
