I had the opportunity to work on a wedding this past week in Oxford Mississippi. I made a 4 tier wedding cake, groom's cake, and dessert bar. It turned out beautiful even after a few stressful moments when we realized we had run out of fondant. But my wonderful sister Christie drove down from Memphis to bring us some and help with all the Alabama A's. Thank you mom and Christie for all your support and hard work in helping me get this delivered on time.
The wedding cake layers were strawberry, white, and Italian cream. It was iced in butter cream frosting with fresh flowers on top. As for the groom's cake and table it was all golf and Alabama themed! He chose a banana cake with cream cheese icing. We made sugar cookies, strawberry pecan coconut, and lemon mini pies, cake lollies, and petit fours.
The groom's mom did a wonderful job of decorating the table for the groom's cake and the dessert display. I love the candles with the golf balls and tee's in it.
Yes, these are real petite fours! Not what most people consider them to be. They are made from my petit four cake recipe out of my pastry chef book that mom has swiped! They are two to three layers depending upon size and have an apricot filling. I have made them with chocolate which is really good, but these were the normal ones. To top them off they have a layer of marzipan and are iced in a white chocolate glaze. Yummie! I had several while making them!
Thank you again Megan and Patrick for trusting me with your desserts on such a special day!
