At 2tarts Bakery & Catering  we live and breathe weddings. We read all the wedding blogs, constantly scan the shelves at the grocery store for the latest wedding magazine, and we also have a serious addiction to the wedding boards on Pinterest .

Why as bakers/business owners/artists/mothers/farmers/crazy busy women would we spend so much time and energy doing all this information gathering? Well, because we LOVE weddings! Especially the desserts at weddings.

We love sitting down with a Bride and talking about flavors, colors, flowers, and the latest cake design we are obsessed with. We love getting to know each Bride; her style, her likes and dislikes, her vision! On average we spend 10 to 20 hours meeting, calling, emailing each Bride. (This doesn’t even include time spent baking or decorating each cake.) We do this to insure that the Wedding Cake that we deliver is exactly what the Bride wants.

Brides choose 2tarts because they can see our desire to create delicious and beautiful cakes that reflect their personality. You are salty/sweet girl, we make you a Chocolate Ganache Cake topped with Bacon.

You don’t like cake? No worries! We will make you a Dessert Bar with Apple Tarts, Cheesecake Brownies, & Salty Sage Shortbread Cookies.

 In the end, the shared passion we have for weddings will ensure that everything created for YOU will be made with lots and lots of Love.

Peace & Love from your dearest Tart Family, Sisters April & Ashley

A few years ago dessert table pioneer, Amy Atlas, brought the delectable art of styled tables filled with sweets to the forefront of the event community.  Today the trickle of this trend has turned into a waterfall…making dessert tables a standing staple in the event and wedding world. Of course we here at Styled Yum always believe a dessert table to be a necessity of any stylish affair…and here’s a few reasons why:

1. You can have it all! Instead of only focusing on two traditional flavors and desserts (wedding cake and groom’s cake) you can instead put together all of your faves. Hubby loves key lime pie? Wifey adores chocolate caramel cupcakes? The flower girl’s fave are strawberry lemonade cake pops? The true joy of a dessert table is your choices are absolutely endless.

2. Your dessert table becomes a focal centerpiece of your reception decor. From the colors, to the printables, to the overall concept and design, your dessert table should tie in and reflect all the small details of your wedding.

3. You can still have your wedding cake! Just because you have chosen to have a dessert table at your wedding reception, does not mean you have to let go of the cake you’ve always wanted. There are two options Styled Yum encourages, and both are delightful. Your first option is integrating your wedding cake into your dessert table. This can make for a very striking and dramatic effect, while keeping your cake as the centerpiece of the table. Your second option is crafting your dessert table as something separate…often being used as a favor for your guests to pack up and take home.
