Something brand new for Brenda's Wedding Blog . . . everyday I either see or hear about truly amazing dessert and food inspiration and I thought I should dedicate a section on the blog just for it. Plus, I love when a bride and groom goes for something a bit untraditional and puts their own twist on the wedding food. Maybe instead of cakes, they choose pies for dessert. Or, several wedding cakes displayed on cake pedestals. Or, maybe it's a self-serve taco bar for dinner. Whatever it might be, I'll start showcasing some great wedding food for you here {with recipe links when available}. So, here it is - hope you like it.
And . . . I have just launched the Sweet Treats Directory. This is a growing list of bakeries, cupcakeries and cookie shops across the US, Canada and International countries. If you would like to be listed, please email me at bestweddingsites{at}gmail{dot}com
Don't you just love how French macarons and cupcakes photograph? Today's sweet desserts were photographed by Simply Bloom Photography for an adorable engagement session.
Wedding Cookies, Wedding Cupcakes I adore these mini lace drink parasols as seen on Papermash. I've seen the common paper umbrellas, but who would of thought of using mini doilies to turn them into elegant parasols? Absolutely Briliant!!!! And, you know what the best part is? The free project sheet for these parasols is available for download from Papermash.

DIY Goodies, Wedding Drinks I love this idea as you don't have to serve the traditional wedding cake to your wedding guests. How about chocolate cakes and pecan bars for dessert? I'm in :) This bride also served strawberry shortcake. Yummm. Photograph courtesy of Heidi Ryder Photography.
Wedding Desserts Every so often I like to feature a paper good that showcases something edible. Today's Save the Date is perfect for the summer months. And, they're even more perfect if you plan to serve milkshakes and burgers as a late night snack at your wedding reception. This printable Save the Date is available from The Card Box on etsy where you will find wedding invitations and paper products that can be printed at home or taken to your local print shop.
Invitations + Stationery You simply can't go wrong with serving drinks in mason jars for summer weddings. I just love how they add so much character to the table settings. Plus, they seem like they were made for having a little tag hanging from them. This photo is from Clayton Austin.
You can view the entire July 4th wedding here.
Wedding Drinks Today's Edible Eye Candy Friday was photographed by Hilton Pittman Photography and I just love the close up shot of the sea shells and starfish surrounding the cake. I'm loving the blue adirondack chairs too. You can see the entire wedding here.
Edible Eye Candy, Wedding Cakes I love this tablescape from Southern Living - it's perfect for a relaxed and fun summer rehearsal dinner or engagement party. Maybe even a casual outdoor wedding. You can see more on re-creating this tablescape here.

These refreshing summer sippers from Southern Living would be just perfect for the summer bridal shower or garden wedding - they're a great way to treat your guests on hot summer days. Showcased Drinks include: Raspberry Beer Cocktail, Blackberry Cocktail, Southern Breeze, and Carolina Peach Sangria. Many more fruit-filled cocktails can be seen here.
I just love this entire dessert display that was photographed by Jules Bianchi Photography. The cake is beautiful, the plates and tea cups are perfect for the vintage themed wedding. You will definitely want to visit Jules' blog to see the entire wedding - it's gorgeous beyond words. There's a peacock, a rainbow and so much more. It's a definite must-see.

Sassy Sauces, a line of dessert and savory sauces, are the delectable creation of Pastry Chef Maureen Harder. The goal was to combine the finest chocolate with wholesome all natural ingredients to create a luscious product. Wouldn't these chocolate sauces be great to serve at an ice cream bar?
Sassy Sauces are crafted in small artisanal batches so attention is paid to every detail. Only the highest quality ingredients are used - pure Vermont cream and butter and Belgian and French chocolate. Sassy Sauces never puts any chemicals or preservatives in the sauces and they are gluten free.
The uses for Sassy Sauces are endless. Enjoy over ice cream or glaze a cake for a professional look. You can even roll into truffles or swirl into coffee for a special treat. Melt in the microwave for a gourmet fondue in seconds or just eat straight from the jar with a spoon. Oooooh, this is making my mouth water as I tell you about the sauces. They sound delicious. Has anybody tried the Sassy Sauces? I'd opt for the non-spicy ones, but if you like a bit of heat with your chocolate, there's an option for you. The dessert line includes:
Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce - intense rich flavor with just a hint of espresso
Rum Caramel Sauce - smooth and buttery with a burnt sugar flavor mellowed with cream and finished with dark Caribbean rum.
Spicy Dark Chocolate - wonderfully rich dark French chocolate with the kick of chipolte peppers and cayenne and the sweet accent of cinnamon. The Perfect amount of heat.
Peanut Butter Fudge - America's answer to nutella! Belgium chocolate mixed with all natural peanut butter. Simply addictive.
Milk Chocolate Caramel - creamy and smooth; smokiness of the caramel counteracts the sweetness of the milk chocolate. Perfect balance of sweet, salty and creamy.
