Victorian Gothic Wedding Dessert Table

Oftentimes, when someone tells you she's getting married, thoughts turn to white dresses, ethereal decorations, and string quartets at a country club. But since we're so close to All Hallows' Eve, let's take a departure from the well-traveled path. Our resident Lady of the Dark, Cheryl, created this macabre dessert table for the bride who wishes to wear black lace (or leather!) to her nuptials. She combined traditional goodies with elegant decor that will bring even the pickiest vampire out of the shadows for a petite sweet.

Exquisite treats like macarons and a gorgeous lace-flower detailed cake are laid out with irresistible goodies that take us back to our teenage nights of watching scary movies and making popcorn. The dark side has a sweet side and yes, it's hard to decide on just one--so try it all!

Popcorn Balls

Spiderwebbed Rice Krispie Treats

Caramel Apples and Dipped Pretzels

A cake for the most beautiful corpse bride...


This table was such a delight to create--Victorian, Gothic, Baroque..all of these styles hold so much elegance and beauty, but also a sense of drama and dreaminess that we just can't resist. It was such a treat to gather our darker decorations to bring this wedding dessert table together.


Until next time, stay your sweet selves!

Vintage Woodland Wedding Dessert Display

Here at Friandise, we think there's nothing quite like a brilliant dessert display to bring a wonderful event together. We've decided it's our favorite way to express the joy at any celebration. We like to use our senses of space and style to lay out Kirby's  gorgeous delectable petite sweets to bring together displays that are really more of a multi-sensory adventure than just a plate of sweets. For this wedding display we wanted to take you to a different time and place when you walk up to the table-- in this case somewhere like a party at a Swiss chalet--woodsy, a little sweet, and elegant all the way.

Desserts are hand-selected with taste and theme in mind. For the Vintage Woodland Wedding display, Kirby crafted old-school favorites like chocolate chip cookies and apple pie (in a jar!), offered alongside trendier selections like custom-tinted cakepops and Parisian macarons--which by the way, are one of her specialties. Holding court amidst the well-appointed table is a selection of mini-cupcakes and a ruffle-iced cake.

Did I mention we love putting together displays?--we get the fun of customizing a table to the party to create a special occasion for all as well as the opportunity to delight everyone with a variety of Kirby's mouthwatering creation!. We love getting creative and giving a wedding or party that "wow" factor.

Delicately sweet and chewy macarons tempt us all...

A jar of classic chocolate chip cookies tempts kids young and old...

Time-honored apple pie--in jars!

All-the-rage cakepops

And they lived happily ever after ...

We're so proud of this Vintage Woodland Wedding dessert table! It's refreshing, tempting, and just fun to stand and admire before you reach out for the perfect treat.


Next up, Gothic Victoria shows her sweet side!
