Of course it’s nice to have your centerpiece four-tier cake, covered in white fondant, but lets be real, who remembers those flavors you spent an hour arguing over…Enter: the dessert table. On the day of your nuptials, you want everything around you to be a representation of the both of you and what you have shared.  And, let us hope that you have exchanged your favorite sweet treats.  Take an old wooden table and cover it with blondie bars, caramel filled b...
