Clay Turtle and Rabbit Cake Topper
After a meal of decadent vegetarian fare, including vegetable tarts, polenta with wild mushrooms and roasted root vegetables, the couple treated guests to an assortment of delicious desserts. Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Brooklyn, New York, whipped up a selection of fall-inspired pies, like salted-caramel apple, bourbon, pear crumble and buttermilk chess, which Lisa and Ezra’s close friend brought to Amherst, Massachusetts, for the wedding. To give guests a taste of local flavor, they also served cider doughnuts from Atkins Farm in Amherst and vanilla ice cream form Herrell’s in Northampton, Massachusetts. Following tradition, Lisa’s sister made a small ceremonial cake for the couple to cut, topped with a colorful rabbit and turtle topper that tied into the illustrated invitations and programs.
