Wedding Favors: Cake Truffles

About a six months ago one of our brides asked us to start thinking about creating an incredibly special favor for her wedding reception guests. The bride told us how she has been a bridesmaid in 15 diferent weddings and she was tired of the same old favor set at each place setting. But she also kept talking about these cake truffles she had heard about.

After some contemplation I called Carly at 8:00am on Monday morning with an idea: a box of cake truffles in each each guests' room along with a small bottle of Neige Ice Cider.



I had a few sample boxes sent from a supplier and made them up today, these are not in Carly's colors (brown and blue) but don't they look cute!



We'll have the cake truffles for sale at the holidays as gift boxes with an assortment of four varieties with 15 total truffles per box. They come in a variety of flavors: Three Brothers Hazelnut Chocolate, Raspberry White Chocolate, Lemon Twist, Raspberry Chambord, Cookies & Cream, Brute Chocolate Truffle

Custom Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Althouth Wedding Cakes have become quite elaborate we're seeing a rather large trend in wedding dessert displays. We recently created this assortment of chocolate covered strawberries for a wedding tasting. They included chocolate dipped bride and grooms strawberries, sparkling pink chocolate covered strawberroes covered in white and dark chocolate, and finally milk chocolate strawberries striped in white and dark chocolate.



We choose only premium, completely unblemished berries for their superior flavor and use only couveture Callebaut chocolate for dipping which we temper by hand.

A chocolate covered strawberry bar is a fun alternative to a traditional cake or the bar can be accompanied by a small two or three tiered cake for the traditional cake cutting ceremony.

Here's the great note we received from the bride who ordered an assortment of chocolate covered strawberries for her wedding reception at Rotch-Duff House in New Bedford, Massachusetts....

Hi Meredith,
I just wanted to let you know that your strawberries were a big hit @ my wedding reception. Several guests commented that they were the best that they ever tasted.

They looked and tasted delicious! Thanks again.

Take care, S.
