Today I awoke with an insatiable craving for cake and sweets.  As a child, I despised your typical breakfast foods and would often beg to skip breakfast.  My pediatrician told my mom that anything could be acceptable, as long as it was paired with a chilled glass of milk.  It was then that my lifelong obsession with frosting was born.  My mother used to keep a frosted sheet cake in the basement fridge, from which I would start my day with a slice and a glass of milk.

While I don’t have hidden confections to indulge in this morning, I thought I’d help satisfy my sugar craving by sharing a few of these gorgeous photos from the dessert table Renny and I designed for the shoot…

A petite four and a glass of champagne adorning the vanity.  Nothing like dessert paired with one’s dressing drink!

I absolutely adore this pale yellow meringue cake, presented on my vintage silver platter.  Home made marshmallow puffs, sprinkle donuts and a topiary of pastel pillow mints continue to make my mouth water.  

This darling gold-dusted cake is protected from showers of cotton candy by a sweet glass cloche covering.

Petite fours, cream puffs, sweetpeas and strawberry shortcake…love.

If a refreshing first course of melting sorbet awaits, I can only imagine what the rest of the meal will reveal!
