These little wonders have increased in popularity as a dessert ingredient. They have a chewy texture and a naturally sweet flavor - making it easier to use less processed sugar in recipes. As an added bonus they contain antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals.</span></span></li><li><span style="color: #515555; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">Dates have a wonderful sticky texture which makes them useful as a binding agent in recipes. They help hold together ingredients which is useful for desserts that require shaping, such as dessert balls and cookie bars. This moisture also helps keep desserts moist and tender.</span></span></li><li><span style="color: #515555; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">These fruit wonders have a distinct taste which adds richness to many types of desserts. </span></span></li></ol><div><span style="color: #515555; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;">Check out a few of our date dessert recipes on the blog:</span></span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #515555; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><a href="https://dessertswithstephanie.com/oatmeal-date-bars-recipe/">Oatmeal Date Bars</a>: The date filling for this recipe is baked between two layers of an oatmeal cookie dough. </span></span></li><li><span style="color: #515555; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><a href="https://dessertswithstephanie.com/rugelach-cookies-with-date-filling/">Rugelach Cookies with Date Filling</a>: the perfect treat when you want something sweet and fruity.

Most commonly it is a baked pastry cream made with finely ground almonds, eggs, butter and various flavorings. If you have ever had a Bakewell tart – you have had frangipane. This recipe replaces the almonds with walnuts since they are the perfect pairing with apples.</li></ol><div>The above is just a small selection of the many pie recipes on our site.

<div style="text-align: left;">
We all enjoy making a fuss over a new baby, even before the little bundle of joy arrives! We 'shower' the parents-to-be with well wishes and gifts. Not only is a baby shower a way to congratulate the parents, it also helps family and friends feel connected to the big event.</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
A baby shower indubitably calls for something sweet! At Confectionary Designs we consider it an honor to create cakes and dessert tables for our clients' showers, and we love working with them to create a unique design that works with their theme.<br />

One of the most important decisions a bride will make in planning her wedding will be the design of her wedding cake. It is not the most important design decision, but it should be made together with the other decisions that will make your wedding the special event you want it to be. Here's a guide to help.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Eight Months to Go:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Come up with design ideas that you think will work as an overall theme for your wedding. Browse the internet or bridal magazines for inspiration. Don’t just look at cakes; use other elements for your design. For example, do you want your cake to compliment the lace on your dress? Use any idea to spark your imagination! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lJx15qjrSmc/TR9TTSpvQLI/AAAAAAAAAP4/CSRLIdkb5h0/s1600/Mini+Wedding+Cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_evdo2y="3" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lJx15qjrSmc/TR9TTSpvQLI/AAAAAAAAAP4/CSRLIdkb5h0/s200/Mini+Wedding+Cake.jpg" height="171" n4="true" width="200" /></a></div>
You should have an idea of the type of cake you want – will it be a traditional cake, a farandole of mini cupcakes or a whimsical cake that fits your personality? The style of cake may also depend on the number of guests at your wedding. Discuss this with each baker you interview. <br />
<br />
Start to narrow down the list of bakers you would like to meet with and make tasting / design appointments. Make sure you discuss your budget with the baker prior to making the appointment as some may not be able to work within your budget. Your goal during this initial meeting is to determine if you are satisfied with the product quality, review the baker’s portfolios, and determine who can help you create your dream cake.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Six Months to Go:</strong></u><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lJx15qjrSmc/TR9Soi5NzvI/AAAAAAAAAP0/YiNKdm8uk3A/s1600/Fondant+Bow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_evdo2y="4" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lJx15qjrSmc/TR9Soi5NzvI/AAAAAAAAAP0/YiNKdm8uk3A/s200/Fondant+Bow.jpg" height="133" n4="true" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Many specialty bakers are booked several months in advance, especially during peak wedding seasons, so book early if you have a specific baker in mind. Your baker should be working with you on the design, and asking questions such as: "How do you envision your wedding? What color/design are your flowers? Is it a lunch or dinner? What is being served? Is this an outdoor wedding? What's the theme? Are you thinking of something offbeat or classic? What does your dress look like? Approximately how many guests are you anticipating?" All of these questions, and others, will help determine the best design and flavors to fit your preferences.</div>
<br />
Most bakers will require a signed contract and a 50% deposit to book a date. <br />
<br />
<u><strong>One Month to Go:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Double check all the details with your baker – from the final payment to the delivery instructions.<br />
<br />
<u><strong>The Day After:</strong></u><br />
<br />
Enjoy the first day of your new life and let your bridesmaids or mother do all the work for you! If you want the top tier saved for your first anniversary, they need to remove any sugar flowers, double wrap the tier in several layers of plastic wrap, seal it in an airtight bag and store it in the freezer. Also, they will need to return any items you may have rented from the baker, such as a cake platform.<br />

And although your guests may be impressed with the appearance of your wedding cake, what they will remember most is the taste.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lcpj3BjNQKg/VFP0Wg3DxVI/AAAAAAAAAxY/7PJYSF0jlxA/s1600/11195529_ml.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lcpj3BjNQKg/VFP0Wg3DxVI/AAAAAAAAAxY/7PJYSF0jlxA/s1600/11195529_ml.jpg" width="336" /></a></div>
Selecting flavors for your cake should be one of the sweetest
parts of planning your wedding. Can you think of a better way to spend a
Saturday afternoon than sampling a few slices of several delicious cakes?</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Finding the right bakery to work with is the first step in selecting the flavors for your wedding cake. Many bakeries will charge a small fee if you wish to taste specific flavors. Often this fee is deducted from your final cost should you decide to order from them.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Have a good idea of what your wedding menu will be like when you go to your tasting, so you can tailor the cake to the rest of the meal. For example, if your meal is focused on Spanish flair, how about a rich vanilla cake with dulce de leche or a guava filling? Or maybe a cake with hints of ginger would be a perfect ending to an Asian feast.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Think about choosing a flavor that might have personal meaning to you and your beloved. Was your first date over coffee? Perhaps a mocha filling. Is your fiancee Italian? A fresh cannoli cream may delight him.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Don’t be afraid to stray from basic flavors such as vanilla and chocolate. Some of the more unique and complex flavor combinations we like are: </div>
<ul>
<li>Coconut cake striped with key lime curd and vanilla bean filling. This cake is not only a delicious pairing of flavors, but it also looks amazing when plated .</li>
<li><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Dark chocolate cake with coffee buttercream and almond toffee bits. The crunchy toffee offers an unexpected yet delightful texture.</div>
</li>
<li>Vanilla cake with banana cream and passion fruit filling. The combination is so very refreshing and perfect for a summer wedding.<br /> </li>
</ul>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LVVim-FA94c/VFP2ENlrM5I/AAAAAAAAAxk/Q_VVbokjQoQ/s1600/18585458_ml.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LVVim-FA94c/VFP2ENlrM5I/AAAAAAAAAxk/Q_VVbokjQoQ/s1600/18585458_ml.jpg" width="200" /></a>You may also want to serve more than one flavor of cake at
your reception. This can be accomplished by having a groom’s cake in addition to the
wedding cake. Traditionally, groom’s cakes are a richer flavor like chocolate,
red velvet, or a dense fruit cake. Of course, you could just choose the groom’s
favorite flavor! You may also request your baker to make each tier a different flavor.
This can often be done at little additional cost.<br />

A very sweet welcome to baby Levi! We were thrilled to make this baby shower cake for a special couple. We usually create a sketch for our clients but in this case the father-to-be created the sketch and sent to us. We loved his design and enjoyed making all the sugarpaste elements, including the baby crab and boat. </div>

This cake was made for a 'fashionista' birthday party. The lovely recipient is known for her saying "it's all about the accessories!" We hope she liked gobbling up these sugar accessories.</div>

The only thing better than the outside of the cake is the inside! We made equal amount of servings of 1) chocolate with raspberry puree; and 2) key lime cake with key lime curd - both wonderful and refreshing flavors. <br />
<br />
The couple asked for a special added touch to personalize the cake even more - can you see the sugar replica of the groom climbing out from the sugar peony on the bottom tier?<br />

This is another cake where we are feeling like part of a family. We made the baby shower cake for this client also. Looking forward to making his wedding cake in a few decades!</div>

Hand piping seems to be one of those skills I don't get to use very often anymore so I am thrilled when I get to break out my piping tips for a cake! <br />

The design on this cake was inspired by a classic mehndi design. The pale green color is not typical of what you would see on most mehndi cakes, but I think it combines well for an American - Indian wedding.Desserts With Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07477506810021444374noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820218294189021708.post-82928281172274097902013-09-11T15:35:00.000-04:002013-09-11T15:35:24.234-04:00Corporate Logo Cookies from our New Jersey Bakery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
