now that we are "newly weds" and my wedding checklist is complete, i am ready to start sharing some of our unique ideas and money saving tips. wedding cakes can be expensive, and i saw this as a place i could save money. i decided to have a home made dessert bar instead, with a small cake for us to cut. i asked some friends and family if they would be willing to bake (or buy) some bite sized goodies. i got all my platters together and my caterer helped to set up the "dessert bar".
we had an assortment of brownies, rice krispies treats, lemon squares, mini cupcakes and cookies.
our dear friend bought us a small cake from lido bakery in manhattan beach for pictures and cutting.
my mom and sister found some awesome candles that were day of the dead bride and groom skeletons, which is very suiting for jarad and i. it was the perfect wedding topper for our mini cake. as my mom said, "you probably won't see it in a bridal magazine, but it fits your style perfectly."
i kept the candles, and plan on getting a slice of the same cake from lido bakery every year for our anniversary.
