One of the absolute highlights was the selection of pastries and the cake from Honey Corner in Jastrebarsko.
What Barbara does is top-tier. 🙏 The butter, the high-quality chocolate, the decorating—she even made these adorable little bride and groom figurines. Honestly, I’m at a loss for words to describe how happy both we and our guests were.
The feedback on the sweets was basically just that people hadn't tasted anything better in years. 😁
I negotiated the price $20 based on weight (with a bulk discount), and the cake came out to $4.00 per slice. The pastries were perfectly sliced and arranged, the cake arrived just before midnight perfectly chilled, and they even threw in some sprinkles for free. 😁
I don't say this lightly because I'm usually pretty picky about desserts, but I was genuinely thrilled. ☕
We almost went with Vincek from Dug Resa instead—they seemed amazing at the local fair, but when we ordered a few pounds to test them out, it was a total disaster. It was all pudding and margarine, and the peaches were soaked in some heavy syrup. To make matters worse, their communication was clumsy and confusing. When you consider those were meant to be the "samples," how can you trust them? 🙄
How many pounds did you end up getting?
wiredranger10 and ambergull38, thanks for the heads-up.😉
I need some help here 🤔😉. My fiancé mentioned hearing about this pastry shop back in Columbus that supposedly has incredible homemade desserts, but he can't for the life of him remember the name... apparently, it's right there at the entrance to town 🤔. All I've heard about is Absum, but I don't know if there are others? Does this place actually exist, and does anyone know the name? 😵

I didn't skimp at all on the music or the catering. But when it came to those little extra things that don't really matter? Yeah, I definitely saved some cash there.
My goal was to have the best food in town and some seriously delicious treats. I skipped the fancy crepe stations, the yard decorations, picking everything up from my place, and all that other fluff. Honestly, nobody even notices that stuff anyway!
I'm with you on that, 🙂. I have no interest in skimping on the things that actually matter either—I was just trying to point out that I found some great desserts that were a bit easier on the wallet.
That cake looks pretty legit 🙂. Honestly, I’ve always thought Vesnin’s treats were top-tier too, but I decided against going with them for the wedding. We’re planning a bit of a larger bash, so looking at the price per pound $27—it just adds up fast when you need that much volume. Plus, everyone I talk to says people barely touch the cakes and desserts at these things anyway, so why bother... 🙂
