I'm was so excited to help with their dessert table. Especially when Andrea and I discussed our vision for the table. We decided on a rustic wine theme with touches of purple.
I love the rustic look, so I jumped all over this!
The venue had several rustic looking wood tables, so we used one of those and decided against any linens.
I used tall apothecary jars filled with wine corks and a tall flower arrangement (provided by Andrea's florist) as a centerpiece for the table.
I also made some cork frames for the table... Love Is Sweet.
A cork frame was placed by the to-go boxes, which were stacked on a wine barrel next to the table.
I used a variety of glass vessels, tiered stands, and cake stands to hold the desserts. I also used two vintage wooden milk crates, which held wine bottles. I had hard plastic cut to place on the top to make it safe to put edibles on. I think these were fun statement pieces on the table.
The desserts consisted of:
Milk chocolate balls, grape gummy bears, and grape lollipops {from
Candy Warehouse}
Red velvet cupcakes, chocolate mousse cups, and fruit tarts {provided by the
Lodge at Sonoma}
Chocolate chip cookies {from
Bi-rite}
And peanut butter cake pops {by me!}
My cake pops were a hit! I've made them several times, and these were definitely my best ones yet. Andrea asked for peanut butter cake pops. Why didn't I think of this before?!
I used
Christi of P is for Party's recipe (from her
other blog --
here), which basically calls for adding peanut butter to boxed cake and store-bought frosting. I used yellow cake, and vanilla butter cream frosting. Easy & delicious! The pops reminded me of
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

And aren't they cute with their little purple bows? :)
