We’re feeling the heat this week and it looks like summer has (unofficially) begun!  For those of you who’ve chosen to wed in this fun-in-the-sun season, how about letting classic summer treats inspire your dessert choices?  We’ve already talked gelato here, but if you’re feeling nostalgic, offer a banana split bar, cotton candy and ice cream sandwiches, or pass around mini milkshakes and popsicles to those on the dance floor!  Berries are another famous summer craving, try strawberry shortcake or fruity sorbet!  Just think cool, frozen and refreshing!
