Italian inspired Dessert Table

I have been hanging out with my Best friend Ivana, she is Italian. Learning the language and the customs of her country. Since we are both going to a wedding in NAPOLS this summer.

Her sister´s wedding. So she is encouraging me to be as italian as possible.

Something that describes an Italian wedding better than anything else is food. So we head out to her favorite ITALIAN Bakery and Coffee shop in Cancun, where we both live and she explains everything about ITALIAN PASTIES.

I figure out its a great idea for your DESSERT TABLE, since it doesn't matter where your Destination Wedding is taking place a little italian inspiration never hurts...

My interview to Ivana:

Italy is all about family. People love to get together in coffee shops called "BAR"
this is a tradition. Specially on weekends people are outside the "bar" waiting for their friends to come by and everybody goes there to meet their friends.

This magical place has amazing coffee and pastries. For example "corneti" a very typical pastry found from the north to the south of Italy, found only during breakfast. "Capresse" a heart shaped bread filled with an almond paste original from Capri. "cantuccini" original from Florence and they are always served with a very fine spirit called VIN SANTO.

Another typical dessert specially from Italy is the famous "gelato" there is no way you can survive an Italian summer with out your Gelato.

My friend

Ivana Locacio (more italian than pizza) introduced me to this Amazing pastry in my home town Cancun, called ISOLA DOLCE.

For her the perfect place to have breakfast, an amazing spresso with a Corneto, for me an amazing afternoon coffee shop where we can talk and drink great lates and enjoy exquisite Italian (original recipe) pastries and desserts.

I really hope you find this desserts as tempting as I did and apply them to your dessert table, you can always do a mini version of them so they can be a cute piece of finger food delicious to indulge any ones sweet tooth.
