Photo Session with Amypunky Photography!

I recently fell in love with the idea of dessert tables, not only because they offer so many sweet possibilities (and I say the only thing better than a sweet treat, is lots of sweet treats!), but also because they allow us to tell a story, and to truly let our imaginations run wild!  

Then I met the adorable and uber talented Emilie Iggiotti, of Amypunky Photography, and it was a match in wedding inspiration heaven!  I created this dessert table for our first photo session together.

I can honestly say that my confections have never looked more beautiful!

This table is, well, very personal in terms of style, since I made it specially for our collaboration.  To me, it represents a marriage between art-nouveau romanticism, and a slightly darker, almost steampunk inspired edge.  I like to think that if Alphonse Mucha, Jules Verne and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle inexplicably decided to get into sweet table design, this would be their creation ^^!

Anyway, a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words.  So without further ado, here they all are!

The sweets mirror the style of the table.  The cupcakes (triple chocolate, and chocolate peanut butter. because let's face it, if I'm going to make desserts for myself, there will be peanut butter involved!), are topped with fondant vintage brooches, bows and peonies.  The madeleines and the pink and ivory macarons give that parisian romantic touch. The two tiered cake is entirely covered in fondant ruffles (I had this image in my mind of lace ruffles covering the cake like ivy), and decorated with peach and dusty rose fondant roses and peonies.
