Using non-GM and organic ingredients they will take your favourite desserts and shrink them into mini treats for your guests to enjoy. Tiny tiramisu, pygmy pot au chocolat, teeny weeny waffles... you name it! You could stick with one type of mini dessert, or pick a whole range and let your guests go wild.

Over at our fabulous sister site Bridalwave I recently wrote about The Dressmarket, an online resource where you can find a huge selection of worn once wedding dresses. This is a great example of recycling in action, as let's face it, not many people make a habit of getting in their wedding finery many times after the big day.

Find our more right here.
