How Sweet It Is – Wedding Gowns & Wedding Cookies

So scrumptious wedding gowns or yummy cookies? Or is it the other way around? We found these amazing cookies, yes, they’re cookies, exquisitely designed by Connie dos Santos on ConnieCupcake.com. They’re almost too pretty to eat. Then we decided to teamed these gorgeous creations up with some scrumptious wedding gowns.

We must say, we can certainly get behind Connie’s outlook on life (please go visit her website and be amazed!). “It’s about kicking the rules, the diet, and most importantly restraint to the curb. I believe dessert is more than a treat, it’s a celebration – an opportunity for artistic expression, for beauty, for surprise and delight. It reminds us of our childhood, of wild expectations and unbridled joy.” Works of us! Bon Appétit

Cake Pops are Wonderful Addition to Traditional Wedding Cake

Desserts have always been an important element at weddings. However, in recent years we noticed that in addition to the traditional wedding cake, other “smaller sweet options” are offered. These mini-desserts – cupcakes, mini-pastries, and now cake pops – serve the function of those who constantly watch their sweet intake, yet even more (we think) is the beautiful display that they present. They truly are adorable and so very creative.

What are your thoughts? What sweet treat trend are you seeing at your friend’s weddings?
