Meet my 2nd love, the Beard Papa.
If you've not tasted his delicious cream puffs - then you haven't quite lived. They're the perfect confection. Fresh, buttery-crunchy puffy goodness, filled with succulent, velvety vanilla cream, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.... these puppies are the best cream puff in all of creampuffdom.
See? How can a girl resist?
Last night, as Hunter and I licked the last traces of vanilla bean from our happy lips, we contemplated trading in a traditional wedding cake for a tower of Beard Papa's finest. We'd still have the groom's cake for those who either insist on cake (fair enough) or dislike cream puffs (unthinkable!).
It would probably be more budget-friendly, and it definitely represents our tastes better than a cake would. Plus, we've already come up with a few adorable "cake-cutting" alternatives to do with these delights.
What do you think? To puff, or not to puff?

Puff!
Hey I thought I was your Puff Daddy;-)
Do it! My family made our homemade cream puffs instead of cake for my wedding. We also used different flavors. If you want to accomodate the cake lovers then do a small grooms cake. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27687069@N08/2685829948/
I say...Puff it!!
what a great idea. i've lived in LA for 3 1/2 years now and just tried one of those puffs for the first time a few months ago - i was in love. i had chocolate - yummm! u could get diff flavors and mix it up a bit.
In France, tradition for weddings IS a big cake" make out of cream puffs. It is called a "pièce montée". Inside the puff is either ice cream of vanilla cream.
