Make your special day a little sweeter with Macarons
Ah yes, the macaron. These pretty little French pastries have definitely grown in popularity. They are the perfect size for wedding favors and since they’re so colorful (each flavor having it’s own distinct hue), they’re the perfect addition to the ever popular dessert bar.

Macarons are delicate French pastries that date back to the 18th Century. These sandwich-like pastries are often filled with a sweet cream or ganache. Paulette is an exquisite bakery housed in both Beverly Hills and San Francisco that creates these delicate Parisian sweets. Out East there has been a trend toward giving these as wedding favors in a sweet little box. Why not consider using these tasty treats as the main dessert at the reception? Paulette offers some classic flavors and many innovative specialties, as well. Très chic!
Perfect for any occasion, these round meringue-like domes have a flat base, making them perfect for stacking and creating the most unique presentations.
Worried that our Macarons will upstage your wedding cake? They also make unique wedding favors that you can leave with your guests.

Delicious Vendor: Whimsy Spice

Take a look at this yummy looking cookies with a whimsy packaging.

I came across this delightful etsy store via Swanky Tables a long time ago. Whimsey & Spice is the creation of Jenna and Mark, an art direction and a pastry chef living in New York. They specialize in making sweet food with a dash of spice. I have to admit, I haven’t tried Whimsey & Spice personally, but I can tell you that if it tastes only half as good as it looks, I might develop an addiction!
Among their products, my favorites have to be the pillows they call marshmallows, butterscotch bars, and the gorgeous earl gray sandwich cookies. Yum! For more delicious goodness, visit their etsy shop. They also have a wonderful blog, sweet fine day, where they share insight into their business and family. It is one of my favorite daily reads in my rss feed!
