Decadent Dessert Displays! | Dessert Options | San Diego Catering

For some, a cake isn’t all it’s cut out to be.

 

 

Dessert trends have been pointing away from classic tiered cakes, with their overly sweet inaccurate count issues,

and towards experimenting with smaller portions or varieties of treats as options for guests.

 

 

Donuts in particular over the last few years have rocketed off the charts in popularity!

Honestly, who can resist fried dough covered in sugar?

 

 

Especially when it can come this personalized!!

 

 

Cupcakes can offer different options for your guests as well.

Instead of ordering one layer of cake hoping and worrying about anybody’s dietary restrictions,

ordering cupcakes allows for specific numbers of different flavors to please everyone.

 

 

Cookies, brownies, lemon bars, candies, and any other sugary concoction can also go on a dessert station.

Choose your favorite, and go wild!

 

 

We love seeing couples get creative with their choices.

Just ask for ideas on how best to display all of your treats!

 

Jessica + Dave | Aldous Photography | Martin Johnson House

Modern Twist on Traditional

 

Jessica and Dave had a modern take on a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony and reception at the quietly stunning Martin Johnson House.

 

 

Jessica and her Bridesmaids all glowed!

The gorgeous rose gold dresses, styles customized to fit each individual’s personality, were such a complimentary color to the bright pops of purple.

 

 

To shake things up a bit, Dave had two Groomswomen!

He and the rest of the Groomsmen wore more traditional Filipino outfits, breezy formal and transparent button-down shirts.

 

 

Once the Bridal Party was all together, they painted a beautiful picture of rose gold, creams, plums, and lavenders.

 

 

The ceremony was out on the front lawn overlooking the sea and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful!

 

 

A traditional Filipino wedding ceremony is often conducted in a Catholic Church, but they incorporated many aspects of that traditional ceremony to theirs so as to bring forth the traditional values into their marriage.

 

 

 

 

In the black and white picture below, we see the Bride and groom wearing a garland of flowers.

This garland was woven into a circle and placed over their heads in an infinity symbol to represent their lasting promise to each other.

 

After the ceremony, the happy couple was able to escape to take some quiet time for themselves where Aldous Photography worked their magic and caught some priceless moments.

 

 

 

 

The Martin Johnson House has access to some of the most breathtaking spots to look out over the ocean.

 

 

Jessica and Dave chose to go with a rustic, vintage motif for their decor and we love all these tiny details!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The many custom doorknobs and lace were such a delicate and thoughtful touch!

 

Thankfully for Jessica and Dave, they had a brilliant Coordinator, Jenna Carino,  to help them achieve their vision!

 

 

 

After dinner, instead of cake, Dave and Jessica wanted to further celebrate the Filipino culture

by having us serve their guests with a colorful mix of desserts!

 

 

 

We provided an ice cream sundae station with coconut ice cream and a mountain of exciting toppings for each guest to serve themselves.

 

 

Dave’s family also brought traditional home-made Filipino desserts!

 

Everything was lovely and we felt so honored to be chosen to help spend this special day with Jessica and Dave!

 

 

We wish them all the best!

 

Craig + Heather | True Photography | The Ultimate Sky Box

Another Sky Box Stunner!!

 

Craig and Heather worked with Creative Affairs at The Ultimate Skybox who provided them with Chauncey to help coordinate their big day!

We absolutely love working with these ladies at Creative Affairs Inc., their events are always beautiful and run so smoothly!

The couple’s choice of colors reminded us of Diamond View’s amazing sunsets: Tiffany Blue, Peach, and Magenta.

The bridal party had a blast with True Photography, who really knocked it out of the park exploring all of downtown and taking every opportunity to have a bit of fun.

We’re always amazed at their sharp eye for the priceless angle or unique captured moment!

Their ceremony was outside on the balcony overlooking the spectacular views of Downtown San Diego…

…one of our favorite parts about The Ultimate Skybox!

Guests were encouraged to sign the “Guest Board,” a snowboard that the happy couple can proudly display in their home for years to come.

 

By this time in the night, the Bar was open and the happy couple treated guests to some signature drinks!

The Old Fashion and the Moscow mule were their concoctions of choice and both were fabulous crowd pleasers!

For dinner, we helped Craig and Heather choose from our extensive menu items what to serve for their guests’ seated meals.

They started with our colorfully delicious Watermelon Caprese Stack Salad, dressed with a Blueberry Basalmic Glaze.

For the main course, they chose our Filet Mignon topped with Garlic Butter and Sauteed Onions or the Mahi Mahi with our Lemon Chardonnay sauce, per guest preference.

Paired with each entree was our decadent crowd-pleasing Goat Cheese Whipped Potatoes and Asparagus Spears.

For dessert, Heather and Craig opted out of a large cake, and after cutting a cake topper from Flour Power, went mini with these adorable cupcakes!

After cake and a little more dancing, Craig and Heather had us offer some late night snacks, and with the ballpark so close, they had us serve up some of our delicious All American Sliders.

These are perfect for those late night cravings!

We just wanted to thank Heather and Craig for choosing us to help celebrate their wedding and to wish this happy couple a wonderful (slightly belated) one-year anniversary!

So grateful to Creative Affairs for all of their hard work and, as always, to True Photography for their spectacular pictures!
