Arthur's Christening Cake & Dessert Table

I've been wanting to do a dessert table for ages and I thought it would be perfect to do one for my nephew's Christening day which was on Sunday. There was a lot of work in it but it was well worth.

I told my sister Vivienne I had an idea of doing a nautical theme with a wee boat on top of the cake or I could do a baby elephant/animals theme but I'm so glad she chose the nautical theme!

I really want to do another one now! lol

 

It all went really well and everyone went home with plenty of goodies.

 

Table included:

- 2-tier cake: red velvet with vanilla mascarpone filling bottom tier and vanilla pound cake with swiss b/c and raspberry jam top tier

- chocolate cupcakes

- lemon cupcakes

- cranberry and white chocolate cookies

- raspberry & creme fraiche meringues

- wee fruit cups (to freshen the palate amidst all the sweet treats! lol)

- lemon desserts - creamy lemon curd and lemon shortbread layers

- assortment of cake bites - vanilla, red velvet and chocolate

- popcorn and mini eggs

- we popped champers to go in the glasses when everyone arrived

 

 

Safe to say a good time was had by all and Arthur was a wee star on the day. X
