Hot this season are meat cutting stations, in addition to dips, bread, crackers, cheeses and chutneys, “design your own skewers,”  think charcuterie plate across a whole table. Breakfast weddings are becoming popular with waffle or pancake bars,  or later evening weddings with ice cream bars, juice and smoothie bars and cocktail style entertaining! Don't forget to adorn with props and flowers to bring it all in together.

Culinary Lavender
Lavender is being used not only in cakes, but as lavender cream frostings or fillings. Decorated on the outside of the cake makes a simple minimalistic but sophisticated impact. Bakeries are doing this by adding lavender extract, and Culinary Lavender. If your baker needs some guidelines we have that here.
