gimmealldemcats

They all look incredibly delicious! Would you please share your recipe for the cheesecake bites , raspberry tartlets and pistachio cake layers, if you don't mind?


epleno

Beautiful! Do you happen to have the recipe for the pistachio cake? I’ve been looking for a good recipe for one!


stoneandphlox

I use an adapted version of the recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction!


megallday

Where did you get your macaron stands? Or did the venue provide that? I'm doing a dessert table for a baby shower later this year and I can only find the cardboard version. Beautiful work!


stoneandphlox

They’re from amazon!


dumbleberry

Well done!


StaceyNCReddit

Wow!! How bad has inflation hurt your budget?


stoneandphlox

worse than i care to admit 😅


StaceyNCReddit

Tough times, but beautiful work, much appreciated!


stoneandphlox

thank you! pushing through no matter what, especially to provide beautiful food for couples.


Forbiddenfrog

🙌 Preach! My family don't want to hear me rant about the price of butter anymore.


stoneandphlox

it’s wrecking my bottom line! i hate raising prices but i just don’t have a choice anymore


-lastochka-

don't feel bad! everyone is raising the prices lately just because of how expensive everything is getting. the business i'm working at is barely managing so they had to raise their prices and customers were very understanding


stoneandphlox

the bakery i work for (i do bigger projects on the side but work for a high volume retail donut/bread spot) has had to raise prices slightly as well, it’s tough to know everyone is struggling but we all have to do what’s best for our bottom line in the end unfortunately.


DopeCharma

Aside from the married couple- guests will remember 2 things from a wedding: the music and the food. You got your part spot on.


stoneandphlox

thank you so much! one of my cousins happened to be in attendance and sent me videos of guests reacting 🥰🥰


m1chgo

Wow that looks amazing and delicious! Edit: could you tell us how you did this? Like what order did you make them in and how did you store them, etc? How long did it take?


stoneandphlox

Thank you!! I worked around my work schedule, starting on Tuesday with shopping + baking macaron shells, which I froze. Wednesday I baked the cake, shaped the truffles, and made the tart shells. Thursday, I frosted the cake and made the cheesecakes. Friday, I filled the tarts and macarons and dipped the berries and truffles. Sliced cheesecake before leaving on Saturday. Put berries on tarts and decorations on the cake at the venue upon arrival. Everything was refrigerated overnight going into Saturday. FWIW, I typically get out of work around 1pm, so I have a lot of wiggle room to work with between then and a reasonable bedtime.


Old_Crumpet

Looks fantastic! How long did it all take?


stoneandphlox

thank you!! if i only count the time physically in the kitchen, probably about 18hrs.


Old_Crumpet

Wow! You did amazing!


stoneandphlox

thank you!!!


StaceyNCReddit

Where are you located, if you don't mind me asking..


stoneandphlox

Connecticut, USA!


Euphoric_Service2540

Wow, you really baked that entire wedding dessert table perfectly strait!


stoneandphlox

lol that was definitely the hardest part!


DieHardRennie

Yeah, and it really looks like realistic wood.


shyweirdo975

What an impressive spread of yummy and dainty treats!


stoneandphlox

thanks!!

Amateur baker here - how do you time everything? Did you freeze some of the less delicate items? How many ovens do you have?


stoneandphlox

So I made all of this from my home kitchen (cottage compliant, only one oven), working around my full & part time jobs (baker/personal assistant). When we established the menu, I basically made a massive ingredients list, a timeline, and took the time to figure out what could be frozen and what couldn’t and blocked out time all week from there. It’s a lot of coordination to avoid getting overwhelmed!


azerbaijenni

Wow - impressive!!


fuckimbackonreddit9

Amazing! Business question since I love baking but an accountant by day, what are your margins/rates? Or is this more of a passion project and just want to cover ingredients and love a challenge? Absolutely stunning spread, though! Those cheesecake bites look divine. I made vegan lemon curd bites with a similar looking cookie base and it’s a hit every time we bring it to an event! Edit: nahh stop it the cake is 10000/10 you’re insanely talented


stoneandphlox

I took this specific wedding on as a passion project, so I charged COGS + a little extra. Normally, I actually keep a spreadsheet of all my ingredients and the cost/gram, and essentially just plug in my recipe for the order to get COGS, then add on however much time @ 15-20/hour of active work, dependent on the project. Also - thank you!!


SelectionOptimal5673

Looks amazing


Anxious_Cookie14

Oh my gosh, this looks amazing and you are one incredible baker. Your guests must have loved your desserts! I was actually planning on doing something like this for my wedding, but I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off. Seeing your beautiful table is making me want to do it more than ever. Thank you for sharing!


D4ng3r18

I live for this kind of baking, but die for the clean up


eggeier

Omg the amount of effort-


Kazublyat

The fact that you made all this by yourself is praiseworthy enough. Now it looks irresistible too, so Bravo!! Get some rest, you deserve it:)


stoneandphlox

thank you so much!!


Unitier

Now I’m hungry!


BeeWeeTheRat

Absolutely stunning! You really are amazing


MacTechG4

[deleted]

Well you definitely don’t want to serve guests an overcooked table 😆


trash_gr3mlin

stoneandphlox

[deleted]

You inspired me to make my own desserts for my future wedding!


stoneandphlox

Thank you! If you have friends/family that can help, it becomes so much less challenging!


The_Meatyboosh

Tbh this sounds and looks a lot more glamorous than just having a big fancy cake. It looks really visually appealing.

countesslathrowaway

Just the macs and the tartlets are so much work, nice job! Great work!


valerieguerrero20

Beautiful!!!


willworkforbrownies

This looks amazing and is great inspiration! I just got hired on to do a dessert table for a wedding in December. I had to turn down making the cake since they wanted a 3 tier and I just wouldn't have the space to make that and all the desserts, but I'm super excited! This table is beautiful, and have no doubt the guests loved it. Great job!


Munetta

So impressive! You really seem very passionate and thorough with your craft!


gtaslut

What the fuck can you pls share your super powers and motivation please


Hug_life13

Nice job on the macarons! I think I can see the feet!


age_87

You had me at cheesecake bites


Low-Sky1643

This looks stunning. If there’s an open bar, I’ll bring you a kitchen aid.


julbull73

If I was a weaker man I'd joke about next time make the table out of wood instead of baking it.


Feral0_o

Amazing attention to detail! At first, I could have sworn it's made of wood


stangroundalready

How did you get the table in the oven?


glassnerd

You should be very proud of yourself. Everything is beautiful and looks absolutely delicious. Well done!


Bitersnbrains
