A Case for Wedding Pies

While a towering white cake complete with buttercream roses is certainly the traditional dessert to cut into on a wedding day, I love (and encourage) my couples to enjoy the sweets that are their favorites on their wedding day.

If you’re not a cake eater, let me introduce you to the wedding day pie: a perfect solution if you still want something flaky, delicious, and possibly served alongside ice cream.

The way I see it, your wedding guests are there to celebrate you. They will eat whatever you serve them, and they will enjoy every second if it because they know you love it! So have fun! Put together a dream menu of all the desserts you could enjoy if you had one day to eat whatever you want and boom: you just made your wedding dessert menu!

For Lauren and Red, that meant a table of fruit pies handmade homemade, buttery crust alongside chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies painted with their favorite Colorado animals and cowboy hats. Instead of traditional lattice, the cakes had a braided lattice and were surrounded by dough cutouts of leaves, roses, and flowers.

Congratulations, you cuties!! I loved making your wedding day desserts!
