Dessert Table: French Fete

This month's issue of MSW features a couple's French-inspired dessert table. I love the idea of a dessert table that focuses all of the treats on a specific region or country's foods. This one showcases a croquembouche, macarons, and madeleines. Mini eclairs and tarts round out the selections.
This is a great idea if you want a dessert table that reflects your heritage or maybe a city/country that has special meaning to you and your family. A table with traditional German, Italian, or African sweets would definitely provide some unusual options that would keep your guests interested.

    Anonymous, I know that macarons and madeleines are French, hence my title (French Fete) for the post. I also mentioned in the post that this was a French-inspired dessert table. At the end of the post, I was saying that no matter what your heritage, whether it's German, Italian, or African, that people should consider incorporating those cultural desserts into their dessert table for an equally unique display. I wasn't saying that madeleines and macarons are from those regions. Thanks for commenting, though! :)
