Minnesota Wedding: Monica & Brendan

Monica & Brendan, along with the talented Sarah Trotter from Lasting Impressions, created a stunning wedding day for their friends and family to help celebrate with them. A beautiful venue on Green Lake in Spicer, MN set the scene for their day, and perfectly complimented their color palette of blush pink, gold, and ivory. Everyone's sweet tooths were completely satisfied, from a beautiful wedding cake, to a miniature desserts like French macarons, dessert shooters, and fruit tartlets, to adorable Minnesota pies-on-a-stick acting as both escort cards and guest favors! Congratulations Monica & Brendan!

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!

Brittany & Dan

Brittany & Dan had a gorgeous winter wedding at the James J. Hill Library in St. Paul. The space lent itself perfectly to the vintage-inspired theme, which was accented by fresh floral arrangements in blush pinks and ivories. Cocoa & Fig provided the beautiful dessert table for the day and incorporated the vintage theme into the table with gold cake stands and platters along with a vintage bride and groom cake topper provided by the bride! Desserts included salted caramel French macarons, pistachio French macarons, black velvet mini cupcakes, sinfully chocolate mini cupcakes, key lime dessert shooters, Southern banana pudding dessert shooters, and fresh fruit tartlets. Congratulations Brittany & Dan!

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!

Blush Pink & Gold Dessert Table: Mindy and Thomas

Mindy and Thomas had a stunning wedding at Villa Bellezza in Pepin, WI which included an 8' Cocoa & Fig miniature dessert table!  The color palette of blush pinks, gold and ivory worked perfectly with the venue and also their dessert choices.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Special thanks goes to Melissa Oholendt for sharing these gorgeous pictures with us!

The centerpiece of the dessert table was a 3-Tier Centerpiece Cake covered in a pale pink fondant with gold accents. Mindy and Thomas chose different flavors of cake for each tier. The top tier was a rich chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, the second tier was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing, and the bottom tier was a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. For the mini desserts, the selection included Mini Key Lime Pies, Butterscotch Budino Dessert Shooters, Raspberry and Salted Caramel Macarons, Fresh Fruit Tartlets, Peanut Butter Cake Lollipops, and Black Velvet Mini Cupcakes.
