Creamy Cake Alternative

October 15th, 2008 @ 11:27 am by Mrs. Meatball

I have a confession to make. I regularly lust for another man. I saw him again last night, and wow—did he ever satisfy my hunger! He even seduced Mr. Meatball, too. That’s just how temptingly irresistible his powers are…

Meet my 2nd love, the Beard Papa.

If you’ve not yet tasted his delicious cream puffs—then you haven’t quite lived. They’re the perfect confection. Fresh, buttery, crunchy puffy goodness, filled with succulent, velvety vanilla cream, and sprinkled with powdered sugar… these puppies are the best cream puff in all of creampuffdom.

Last night, as Mr. Meatball and I licked the last traces of vanilla bean from our happy lips, we contemplated trading in a traditional wedding cake for a tower of Beard Papa’s finest.

See? How can a girl resist?

We’d still have the groom’s cake for those who either insist on cake (fair enough), or dislike cream puffs (unthinkable!).

It would probably be more budget-friendly, and it definitely represents our tastes better than a cake would. Plus, we’ve already come up with a few adorable “cake-cutting” alternatives to do with these delights.

What do you think? To puff, or not to puff?

Beard Papa’s is sick. Just amazing. I’m in NYC this week, and plan on stopping in there tonight–we are lacking in the midwest, and it’s a must have when I’m in NYC. I say go for it.

To cream puff or not to Cream Puff..
I am biased. We aren’t having a wedding cake (much to my mother’s dismay)- so any alternative that is yummy I am all for!

TO CREAM PUFF!!! DO IT! (And maybe provide some ice cream???)

I’ve never had a Beard Papa and it’s all anyone can ever talk about on Yelp San Francisco! Even Mr. Peng has had one! I suck. But anyway, I say… to cream puff! You guys could build quite an impressive display with them!

Love that idea. We’re serving breakfast for dinner at our wedding next summer (omelette bar, crepe station, cereal buffet, bagels, etc), and for our cake we’re going to have a mountain of French Toast and Belgian Waffles. Will it be pretty? No. Will it be delicious? You bet. I’ve never felt attached to the idea of a wedding cake, so I figured we may as well save the money and go for something that we actually like.

We love them so much that we’re actually have beard papa cream puffs in place of the wedding cake!
