and now back to the wedding …..
While living in Upstate New York (Endicott) we attended many weddings. Many Italian weddings. At traditional Italian weddings there is typically a dessert or sweet table with cake and large trays of cookies. Sometimes the cookie platters are piled high on each guest table, sometimes a “cake” is made of cookies piled high. We loved the dessert/sweet table so much at these weddings that Cara and I decided to bring a little of our Endicott days to Minnesota!
The months before the wedding I baked.
Friends baked. My sister baked.
Lots of baking took place. We had a large assortment of pretty and tasty cookies in our
freezer.
Dozens of coconut cupcakes filled the freezers of friends and the remaining space in our freezer.
On wedding day friends pulled the cookies and treats from the freezer and other hiding places (the candy) and created beautiful and irresistible displays.
Seeing the beautiful display of sweets at the wedding reception made all the work very rewarding.
