Another happy customer!

"I really enjoyed working with the women at Simply Sweet. They truly helped make my wedding day beautiful and delicious. I was surprised how much effort they took to make my wedding day the way I wanted it. I really appreciated how friendly and efficient they were at the same time. The food looked great all night, and despite having so many fingers (guests!) eating the desserts so fast, the plates were kept full. Guests at our wedding are still raving about the great desserts and beautiful candy table!"

YUMMY CREAMY ICING

As you requested....here is the recipe for the icing we use on cini minis. Enjoy!






1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cube butter (NO margarine allowed - ever!)

1 bag powdered sugar

Mix on LOW til incorporated. (will be crumbly) Add 1 T pure vanilla (no fake extract!) and mix on low while adding hot water or warm milk by the teaspoonful until icing is at desired consistency. (We use hot water - it keeps the icing smooth and soft. Adding cold water can make butter and cream cheese firm again and your icing will be lumpy.) Mixing on low keeps air bubbles out of the icing so it stays smooth. Don't whip it! I usually turn the Kitchen Aid on low and walk away for 15 mins or so while it mixes. Keep in refrigerator in an airtight container.

Mmmmm...... enjoy!

Good Things Utah!

We had a great time on Good Things Utah this morning with Nicea, Angie, Marti, & Reagan. We demo-ed our SIMPLY SWEET CINI MINIS...on a stick & in a mini muffin cup. They are always a hit and we loved sharing with the GTU viewers.

WEDDING FESTIVAL at SOUTH TOWNE EXPO CENTER...
Friday & Saturday. Come by and say hello and have a taste of something SIMPLY SWEET!

La Caille Bridal Show

The show at LA CAILLE was wonderful! Again, it was so fun to see so many of you there, and meet so many new, darling brides. (OK, and grooms, too) It was a great day and we look forward to working these great upcoming events. The booth...candy table on left, main dessert buffet middle, info table & the fabulous popcorn tree on right. (hey, it isn't easy to smash all of this into an 8 foot space. But we did it!)


The ever popular candy table. The black & white with apple green and fuschia was eye popping and fun!

Mini wedding cakes....

Mini cupcakes....

Peanut butter blossoms....

And our most popular favor...homemade fortune cookies!

featured carrot spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (of course!), our famous almond sugar cookies, vanilla petit fours, peanut butter blossoms, red velvet cake pops, fortune cookies, and our newest item - mini wedding cakes!

The candy table is always a favorite...but we featured a popcorn tree as well, and it was a hit! We also introduced our "cake to go" boxes with our exisiting favor boxes. All such fun, exciting additions to your 2010 wedding!

Our original cake stand/cake display is always a highlight of every event...

And introducing DEVIN DIAL...the most amazing floral designer you will find. His ideas are fresh and fun - and he is just a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for an incredible floral designer - and an all around great person - contact Devin at ddialacutabove@yahoo.com or 801.870.8204

Sweet Stations!

Why stop at the dessert buffet? Look at the fun stations Simply Sweet has to offer you!

In addition to a dessert buffet, you can add on any - or all - of these fun stations!

S'mores! Who doesn't love a s'more? Your guests can stand and and visit while roasting their own marshmallow, and then assemble their very own s'more with the chocolate and grahams right there, too.

Childhood calling? Try a homemade cookie station of your family's favorites. Guests can eat there, or take home in cello bags we provide.

Kid's favorite? A sugar cookie decorating station! Yes, it gets a little messy, but it keeps kids happy and entertained at your event. Let's be honest...it's better than having them terrorizing the guests!

Italian sodas keep things fresh and fun. Guests choose their flavor(s) and our staff creates the beverage...DELIZIO!

Our caramel apple station is a seasonal favorite! A crisp, tart Granny Smith apple enveloped in delicious, rich, gooey caramel and ready to be rolled in the topping(s) of your choice. If you aren't into getting your hands dirty, our staff will gladly assist

.

Make your event a little sweeter with any of our stations!

Whitney & Brandon's wedding

The Bourdos Wedding was held in La Jolla, CA, followed by a reception a few days later at Serenity Ranch in West Jordan, UT. Their use of peacock colors made a beautiful aesthetic at a wonderful evening of fun! They chose an 8 item dessert buffet with a beverage table and 3- tiered cupcake wedding cake.
The drink table with two punch flavors - refreshing key lime & wild blue raspberry.


The 3 tiered wedding cake with a double top! Mini carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and toppers of white cake with almond frosting.

The candy table is always a hit for young and old!

Peanut butter blossoms, vanilla petit fours with almond glaze, red velvet cake truffles, and vanilla sandwich cremes.
A shout out to the groom's favorite treat - Rice Kripsie Treats! The R.C. treat pops are dipped in white chocolate.

Mini carrot cupcakes w/ cream cheese frosting.

Personalized popcorn boxes brought a bit of salty to a sweet night.

The beautiful cake!

CONGRATULATIONS BRANDON & WHITNEY!
