Brides Magazine Part I - Spiced Chocolate Dessert Table

Remember when I posted behind the scenes shots from our shoot with Brides Magazine over here and here? Well I'm here today to show you the first of three dessert tables that we created for them. We created a retro table, spiced chocolate table, and modern table for Brides Magazine's May issue which is available today on newsstands!

For this table, we incorporated spiced chili and naga curry infused truffles, rosewater malban, pyramid-shaped chocolates, sesame candy and a macaron tower, all on bronze and rattan vessels filled with whole spices. For decorative elements, we included Moroccan lanterns and a pussy willow branch display. We also sewed together burlap fabric to create spice sacks to give the table a "Moroccan-market" feel and filled up Moroccan tea glasses with spiced hot chocolate and cinnamon sticks.

Here is the full shot from the very talented photographer Andrew McCaul.



And some behind the scenes photos that I captured during the shoot...




Pick up your copy of Brides Magazine today. Come back tomorrow to see the full shot of the another dessert table with behind the scenes pictures.

More Behind the Scenes Photos from Brides Magazine Shoot

Yesterday was the last day of a three day shoot for Brides Magazine.
We created some fabulous edible spreads and I can't wait until the spring so you can see the dessert bars in print! Brides Magazine brought in Andrew McCaul and his team to capture everything. Not only does Andrew have a wonderful eye for capturing stills and food, but his calm demeanor and fun personality made it a pleasure to work with him for the last few days. Below are some shots of us prepping and shots of Andrew and his team at work. This was a great experience and you will be thrilled with the results when you pick up your copy of Brides in the spring! This weekend I am going to spend some much needed time with my family and get some rest, but I'll be back next week to fill you in on more exciting projects. Have a great weekend everyone!
