Sweet treats that tell your story

An infamous favorite sandwich, reportedly loved by the King himself (as an American, I am of course referring to Elvis) was a fried peanut butter, bacon, and banana sandwich. The cholesterol raising sandwich was a signature dish at a Denver-based restaurant called the Colorado Gold MIne Company. It's basically a loaf of french bread, hollowed out, stuffed with bacon, peanut butter, and bananas and deep fried. Elvis was famously loved other fried comfort food sandwiches: peanut butter and banana, and fried baloney. Do you and your fiance have a food that you love, or that you are famous for in your respective social circles? Why not serve it at your wedding?

Love breakfast for dinner? Have a little waffle or pancake bar with fun toppings.

Or serve fun mini sandwiches at an afternoon tea wedding. Wrap them up in pretty paper and ribbon to make it festive.

Make common treats extraordinary by using a heart-shaped cookie cutter (or any other shape that strikes your fancy) to cut out sweet and whimsical shapes. Below are heart-shaped whoopee pies and brownies.
