Royal Wedding Sweets
April 25th, 2011 by Carrie Sellman | 4 Comments

The big day is almost here… only 5 days until the Royal Wedding.   Prince William and Kate Middleton will have us all swooning over their enchanting nuptials.  I’m bummed because my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.  I’m sure yours did too!  Since we’ll have to settle for watching the royal festivities on TV, maybe we should celebrate with some Royal Wedding inspired sweets.  So gather your girlfriends, a royal dessert and enjoy!
