Who doesn't love a good beach party? The GATHER girls styled a gorgeous beach rehearsal dinner shoot that was featured on 100 Layer Cake a couple weeks ago and petite pig was fortunate enough to take part.
The GATHER girls envisioned a cozy get together, filled with pretty paper details, big knits, delicious cocktails and yummy treats.
Lupa & Pepi made clever little favor tags for our Pigmints and when the GATHER girls asked me to come up with a fun beach side dessert we decided on campfire bananas foster.
Banans, rum, caramel, whipped cream...it's a combo that can't miss. By putting the bananas on skewers and roasting them fireside, it adds a fun interactive element without falling back on the ole standby S'mores (which there is nothing wrong with at all).
At home you can re-create the same thing, either by making a classic bananas foster in a pan, firing bananas under the broiler or roasting over an open gas flame, like I did when I tested the recipe. After roasting, dip the bananas in rum, light a match and instant bananas foster! We finished it with salted caramel sauce, candied pecans and vanilla whipped cream, but the possibilities are endless. Just because it's a classic dessert doesn't mean you can't change things up!
A big thanks to the GATHER girls, Heather Kincaid for her beautiful photos, the rest of the team which I was so lucky to be in great company with and of course, 100 Layer Cake for the post. Please check it out if you haven't already!
