The Dessert

One of the many high points of the tented reception was the wedding cake. Sida had seen a cake -- well, make that cupcakes -- in a bridal magazine that she had fallen in love with. After searching high and low for a square, tiered stand like the one she'd seen to no avail, Andrew managed to put his carpentry skills to use and with help from his dad created a perfect replica. An old friend of Andrew's, who is also a professional baker, created the cupcakes -- in lemon torte, white, and chocolate sour cream -- all with buttercream frosting topped off with white chocolate squares monogrammed with green Hs. The cute cakes were a hit with all of Sida and Andrew's guests, especially the kids.
