If you’re a huge chocoholic like me and are looking for unique ways to include the sweet into your celebration why not opt for a handmade chocolate menu? I found this delightful idea off of Edward Marc who also specialize in personalized medallions and delicious truffles. Yum!
I love hearing did you know facts. Because more than half the time, I don’t know. Yesterday I saw a fascinating tweet from foodimentary who tweeted:
Did you know that the lollipop was first patented in 1931? The name came from a famous race horse at the time, Lolly Pop.
I don’t know about you, but I found that fact so exciting. Inspired by my new found knowledge, I went on the hunt for the perfect lollipop wedding favour. Instead, I ended up getting sidetracked by Bakerella’s latest creation–ice cream cone cake pops, which I think are just as “cool” and amazing as lollipops. Yum!
If only I could grab these chocolate chip cookies off my screen and gobble them all up, I totally would. Now, I’ve never heard of pillow cookies before, but ever since I read about these ones, made by Bakerella, I’ve been OBSESSED. Pillow cookies are basically your typical cookie wrapped around a brownie centre. So they look like your average cookie, but one bite out of them and I bet you could taste the instant chocolate gooeyness. YUM! Want the recipe? Click here.

Just looking at all this delicious food–croissants, cookies, cotton candy, etc.–is making my mouth water. Love the dreamy and inviting presentation of everything. Big thanks goes out to Maddy K Food by Nicolina Servello for such an inspiring and gorgeous set-up. In case you’re unaware, Maddy K Food is a catering division of Maddy K (an event design group) who specializes in beautiful creatives such as this one.
As I write you this blog, I kid you not, I am most likely surrounded by dozens and dozens of cakes. Yes, it’s our major week for cakes and flowers (I’m hoping to have some ‘behind-the-scenes’ images to share with you). But, in the meantime, I’ll let you feast your eyes on these amazing confections by Allyson Meredith and Bobbette & Belle. From mini-treats to luxurious cakes (I’ve included over 20 cake examples–couldn’t pick a fave), I’m sure you’ll find a sweet to your liking. Enjoy!
Have any of you heard about One Pop Cheesecake Lollipops? Let me tell you, they are deeee-licious, and if you ever get your hands on them, watch out as you might end up eating more than one or two–yes, they’re that good. Food Trends (located in Toronto) are the pros behind these amazing goodies. They’re available in various flavours (Caramel, Cherry, Vanilla, Pistachio, Banana, Lemon, Mocha, etc.) and can be easily placed in mini-boxes as favours or served on a cheesecake lollipop tree (think of your average lollipop stand). The chocolates can even be customized to fit your colour scheme.
The Toronto Wedding Co. Show, spearheaded by Catherine Lash, that I went to over the weekend was amazing as usual. It’s always so fun to go out and say hello to everyone. But, what I love most about the shows are getting to know and meet new faces, be it photographers or cake designers. One vendor that I was severely impressed with was MoRoCo. Immediately drawn by their lavishly decadent set-up, I knew I had to see what they were all about. Turns out, they’re this really beautiful and sweet chocolate lounge located in Yorkville, Toronto. Their chocolate was just scrumptious and can be customized with your names. It’s definitely a nice and different twist to wrapped chocolate bars. Below are examples of their cocoa bar set-ups. Yummy!
I don’t care what they say about butter, it’s darn good and way better than margarine and apparently healthier (or so they say!). Check out these amazingly, delicious goodies from Butter Baked Goods. I’m salivating just looking at them. Could someone kindly fly me to Vancouver so I can fulfill my sugar addiction? Anyone? Seriously, if you hail from the west coast, I suggest getting your butt to this sweet shop and devouring one of their tempting cupcakes or pecan bars.
More mouth-watering sweets after the jump.
