Yesterday I made my way up to Big Bear to tie up some loose ends before the wedding. Stop #3 on the to do list: North Pole Fudge and Ice Cream Co. (Posts on stop 1 and 2 to come).

North Pole is located within the Village and full of so many scrumptious and yummy treats. But I was there for one reason and one reason only: secure 1/3 of our reception dessert bar. Such a tough job I know…

Mr. Espresso and I decided to forgo a wedding cake in exchange for a dessert bar. Our desserts will include caramel apples, cupcakes, and cheesecake for Mr. E.
My purpose at North Pole was to order the caramel apples. And they, combined with all the other goodies in the store, were overwhelming my senses. I wanted everything. And even now, the pictures are making me hungry again.

I ended up choosing 3 different types for our reception:

I love caramel apples. They remind me of fall, blustery weather, harvest festivals, and October. And now- I’ll get to add our wedding to the list.
Are any of you forgoing a wedding cake for a special treat you love?
I love Carmel Apples….I always think of them as nutritious, yet super delicious! Great choices Miss Espresso on your apple selection. For dessert, we’ll be serving ice cream sandwiches made with chocolate chip cookies and vanilla bean ice cream! Although…I’m still thinking about having a cake! Who can ever have enough sweets?
