Yes - we ARE having a wedding cake (two, in fact)... one large fondant cake, the other a smaller coconut buttercream cake.
Because I LOVE gourmet goodies I've decided to do a spin on the regular 'candy buffet' by offering a small sampling of various custom gourmet desserts and candies from local bakeries and from Etsy. There will be some candy, but most of the table will be one-of-a-kind, custom treats for guests to sample. I like this because it promotes a lot of local businesses AND the handmade wonders of Etsy.
Two of the items I am MOST excited about are:
Custom lollipops from TheGroovyBaker on Etsy (see pic) including 'lime in the coconut', 'gold alchemy' and 'orange blossom thyme'...
.. and awesome cubed gourmet marshmallows from HaveItConfections' shop including 'toasted coconut' and 'cocoa hazelnut swirl'. (see pic)
I am sooo excited! I'll definitely be sampling some of these goodies as they arrive before the wedding. Hahaha.
