I am not sure how this happened, but....16 more days!?! Wow. I have a lot to do....You would think with almost 2 years to plan I should be relaxing in the sunshine just waiting for the time to come. But that is not my style. Today I am finalizing lists: guest list, dinner list, dessert list, etc. I am going to try to post something everyday until the big day, revealing tiny little details as I go! Today....dessert!
My sister Jessica of Nothing Bakes Like a Parrott is baking all of our desserts & designing our dessert table. Our desserts will include:
- Croquembouche - a nod to our French heritage & our engagement in Paris
- Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - this is the groom's cake
- Spiced Orange Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - the cake we cut
- Mini cupcakes which include:
- Spice Orange Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
- Lemon-Raspberry Swirl with Lemon Buttercream
- Fleur de Sel with Chocolate Ganache
- Coconut with Coconut Buttercream
- Pizzels & Italian Anise Cookies - a nod to Rich's Italian heritage
- Janet's Famous Toffee - my mom makes the best toffee. Ever!
- Nutella Cheesecake Brownies - because they are delicious & I have a mild obsession with Nutella
- Classic Maine Whoopie Pies - because we are in Maine on a Farm, of course!
- Sugar Cookies - because they are cookies & delicious
So, as you can see we {er, mostly me...} are a bit dessert obsessed. Our dessert table is going to be bigger than our dinner buffet, I am fairly certain of it. Not only do we love dessert, but we are not having a specific favor, so I purchased a lot of kraft boxes so our guests will be able to take desserts home with them at the end of the evening {hence desserts that travel well like cookies, brownies, whoopie pies, & toffee}.
