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!
