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).
More, More, More…

I have a huge sweet tooth but funny thing is, I don’t like cold sweets very much because I have very sensitive teeth. But all of that went out the door when I encountered Bubbies mochi ice cream at a food trade show last year. Mochi is originally a Japanese creation of a sticky, glutinous rice shell with some sort of sweet paste filling (usually red bean or green bean) but in this case, the filling is delectable ice cream!
Alternative To The Groom’s Cake

For our wedding reception, I want to try incorporating new ideas that are fun and entertaining that our guests will remember for a long time to come. Partly because I like to be a little different, but mostly because I want everyone to have an awesome time.
In the South, you grow up attending wedding receptions where there is the wedding cake…and then there’s the groom’s cake. If any of you have seen Steel Magnolias, think blood red armadillo cake. To many, it’s the chocolate cake at the reception, usually depicting something important to the groom, whether it be his alma mater, favorite sports team or hobby.
Mr. Hydrangea is pretty impartial to the whole wedding planning process. He likes to stay in the background and watch Mom H and I plan, and only gives his opinion if it is something that really concerns him. A few months ago, I brought up an alternative for his groom’s cake which he seemed to like.
Tasting: Desserts in the Desert

The best part of the tasting was, of course, the dessert! Now I must confess, I LOVE desserts. I live for desserts. I’ve been trying to curb these desires given that I have two months to get into a wedding dress, but this was the day I could throw caution to the wind!
After deciding on our starter, we were brought three delectable plates full of desserts. You may remember that for dessert we’ll be doing a sampler. Basically, we’ll have a smaller “show” cake so we can cut the cake. Guests will get a dessert plate with a small piece of the wedding cake, a sorbet and a mini creme brulee. Here was our first option:
