Brazilian wedding sweets, Portuguese, and cities of Brazil

"Bem Casados" also known as "Well married" or Good Marriage" are sweet morsels of delicious Brazilian wedding tradition. These little cakes are filled with a dulce de leite filling and covered in a sugar coating. The guest are supposed to make a wish for the Bride and Groom before their first bite! These were a big hit at the wedding and a great way to incorporate a bit of Brazilian tradition to share with our American guests and bring our cultures together. 

Another touch of Brazil was added with our table cards all named after cities in Brazil including Fortaleza- the home town of the Groom, Brasilia, Recife, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and many others. 

Of course I little Portuguese for everyone to enjoy. "La vem a noiva" - "Here comes the bride" !
