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.

NEW ITALIAN #venue ready for #Cancun sunsets





WE NOW FIND

My dear friends from GRUPO CENACOLO
Georgina Medina Public Relations manager,
Rocio Cárdenas Groups & PR and Patricia Yedro Manager
gave me a warm welcome as I arrived with my Italian friend Ivanna
and my two new amazing friends Walter & Michel;
last night to the opening of their NEW baby:

CENACOLO MARE

Many of Cancun Jet sets gathered to witness a new HOT Spot,
to taste their delicious selection of wines and to have a sample
of what makes this place amazing their

CLASSIC Italian cuisine.


But I had another idea in mind. I needed to go and check out
for my self the newest Venue in cancun.

A place so romantic
amazing for intimate weddings with spectacular sunsets and
PERFECT for romantic dinners, rehearsal dinners and also PROPOSALS.


So I took my camera with me and started shooting every little
detail, as I tried a glass or two of their bubbly PROSECCO
I started to imagine the possibilities of a beautiful
wedding with an amazing menu and their impeccable
WINE selection.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GRUPO CENACOLO
this is their 4th baby they have one location in downtown Cancun,
another one on Kukulcan plaza, another one in Playa del Carmen
(where we had a menu tasting just 2 weeks ago)

I LOVE ALL THINGS ITALIAN
BUT ABOVE ALL OF THEM
THEIR FOOD!!!
