A dessert table for my brother’s wedding reception! I made everything except the flan. I made 11 different desserts for the table and a small wedding-ish cake for my brother and his bride. That’s TWELVE desserts baked in less than a week’s time! What about the rest of the time I’ve been MIA? Recipe research. For the past 7 weeks I’ve been trying out different recipes to see what ones would work. I even made cookies, twice and two different kinds! Macaroons and monogrammed sugar cookies.
I’m happy to say the reception was this past Saturday and was a yummy success! Things here are getting back to normal. My kitchen is anyway. Sunday I cleaned it, put everything up and even organized my pantries and cabinets. Now I’m going to take the next few days to catch my breathe and try to get over my temporary dislike of sugar and flour. :) I just wanted to let you know what’s kept me away from my blog and yours for so long. I hope to be back posting and commenting more regularly.
Many thanks to the following….Michelle, Monica, Julia, Shelly, Jonna, Jamie and my parents ! Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!

How fortunate your brother is to have a sister who is so willing and capable of doing such a fabulous feat.

Being the sole cook on Thanksgiving Day, I'm grumpy for days afterwards...total kitchen burnout. You did all this??!! Where's the "S" tiara to match the cape? Amazing job, mom!
ReplyDeleteWow, your spread looks absolutely amazing - what a lucky brother you have!!
ReplyDeleteHats off to you Ingrid! You did an amazing job. I went crazy making just two kinds cupcakes for a friend's wedding, so I can't even imagine prepping 12 different desserts for your bro's wedding...what an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteI have to make a wedding cake in two weeks and I want to CRY!!!! A huge part of me wishes I said no! And when I say "a huge part of me" I mean "all of me." So was it rough??? Any tips?
ReplyDeleteIngrid, you put on a beautiful spread of goodies. Will you be blogging each one for us to see? Thanks for your well wishes towards my Ma's recovery. She is here at my house but is eager to get back home to her own house, I guess we all want to be home when we are recovering. I wish she would stay a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with your dessert table. That was a HUGE job, good for you for pulling it off so wonderfully!
Oh wow - how fun!!!! You little busy bee.
ReplyDeleteWow, Ingrid I am very impressed! You should be very proud, that spread looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's so insane, I could never do it! God bless!
ReplyDeleteDisplay looks great and very professional! I am impressed! :)
