These mini pancake stacks make a delicious addition to your wedding dessert station. They look elegant, taste great and even better there is no cooking required. I love how quick and easy they are to whip up and how the gorgeous jewel tone berry colors pop on my Elegant Navy & Purple Wedding dessert table.
