This Week's Sweets: Holiday Gift Boxes

This year's boxes contained milk chocolate dipped coconut macaroons, vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, pink peppermint sugar cookies, and white chocolate dipped hi-hats. 

I didn't even get to eat one. Not one. If you didn't get to eat one either, be sure to order some next time! They won't disappoint.

Winter Wedding

Here are some pictures from a beautiful Winter wedding. We did a dessert bar and a cupcake tower wedding cake. Photos by the talented Heather Tycksen at Heather Tycksen Photography.

Cupcake tower wedding cake in reds and creams. Cream-filled chocolate cakes topped with chocolate ganache and personalized monogram cookies. Chocolate cakes topped with cream cheese frosting and tinted coconut. Vanilla cakes topped with home-made vanilla almond marshmallow cream and dipped in white chocolate. Vanilla cakes filled with fresh raspberry butter cream and topped with amaretto-whipped butter cream and fresh raspberries.

Cupcakes surrounded the tower on an elegantly dressed table.

The dessert bar included: Milk chocolate dipped peanut butter blondies, meyer lemon bars, mini berry-topped cheesecakes, white-mint-dipped brownies, sour cream sugar cookies, white and milk chocolate dipped strawberries, and coconut macaroons.

I had so much fun. And thank goodness my mama came to the rescue and aided me in dipping and transporting these sweet confections. Aren't moms the best? Well mine is anyway.

Father's Day Boxes and Now Accepting Credit Cards...

I've finally decided to enter the modern age! Drum roll please...... Très Sucré is now accepting Credit Cards. I have gotten a lot of requests from customers, so there you have it. Voilà! And now on to the fun stuff.

I had so much fun making these little boxes. Especially since I was making all of hubby's favorites. He was hovering over my shoulder the entire time, drooling. He loved all of the treats and I hope all of your dads did too! Thank you!

Inside the boxes: Moravian Kolache, Dad Cupcakes, Little Lemon Delights, Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons

Pink Flamingos and I'm Going Coconuts.

A friend of mine called and asked me to make her some Pink Flamingo themed cupcakes. I thought it sounded easy enough. I figured I would find some cute mini flamingo cookie cutter and make some little sugar cookies to go on top. After about 5 hours of searching on the Internet and calling various stores, I realized that mini flamingo cookie cutters do not exist. I found mini hot dog cutters, and mini lighthouse cutters, and basically any and everything else mini - but NO flamingos. Then I had a stroke of inspiration and decided to make them out of chocolate. They turned out so cute (in my opinion:). The beaks are made out of licorice, and the bodies out of pink chocolate. The cupcakes were dark chocolate with cream filling. The pink and green cakes were carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla with fresh strawberry frosting. Mmm mmm good! And I do need to note that until this week carrot cupcakes were my nemesis. The last time I tried to make them, which was well over a year ago, they sank into a soggy mess. But alas, I got my mom's recipe and they turned out really good. Nemesis - Conquered! Merci, mom!



This same friend also asked for something chocolaty and gooey. So I made her some chocolate dipped coconut macaroons.
