Sparkle Berries
For my wedding, my dearest Aunt Paula (queen of all catering goodness. Maker of family memories and mouthwatering meals) insisted that my sorta cheap and plain plans be exchanged for inexpensive but extravagant ideas. Love her. She turned my wedding from blah.blah.bloo to va-va-voom with her magical touch. Her favorite touch changed my wedding cake from what.e.va to WOWzers with the addition of crystallized fruit. Is it possible to NOT love anything which includes the word crystallized?
*
1 egg white
1 t. water
1 c. white sugar or organic sugar
1 c. fresh berries or grapes
*
In a small bowl, whish egg white and water together. Use a basting brush to gently brush egg onto fruit. Generously sprinkle with sugar. Set on a cooling rack and allow to harden for 1-2 hours. Serve atop store-bought waffles cookies with fresh cream and orange zest.
*
Speaking of our wedding day…
*
All I want for Valentines:
A handsome lad to tote
these two fine ladies to the annual
Daddy-Daughter dance.

Wish Granted.
Still my k.i.s.a after all these years.
XO, My Sweet.

    Love it, Brooke! And I love those cuties. Alyssa still shocks me when she stands next to me, and I think she can’t possibly be that tall now. I guess Becca will always be a kindergartner who gabbed with Stuart, and Alyssa will always be my little preschooler.

    Was it on your cake?! I love sugared fruit – it’s so Martha Stewart (my hero). I think it’s just gorgeous on cakes…

    those sparkly fruit are quite inspired.
    They are gorgeous and elegant and all those lovely adjectives that are used to describe princesses and fancy birds!
    I’m pretty sure that when you and I go to the store for eggs, milk and butter, a princess would send a handmaiden to pick up your list of sparkly items. Standard princess fare.
    Is that a lovely new banner too? I like the white background.
