Dessert Party

Back in July, I hosted our Global Hawk Squadron Spouse's Coffee. We had such a nice turnout. Thank goodness because we had a lot of desserts. It was a fun night with old friends and new friends. And we all had sugar highs by the time we left! haha. My friend, Trish Larsen, was nice enough to stop by and take a few pictures for me. Thanks, Trish! Check out her website www.tlarsen.com. Stephen and I are on her website. She is very talented!

Let's get back to the desserts...my favorite topic. I've decided sugar is evil and one of the worst things I can put in my body. That being said, I love to bake sweet treats. I love to host parties, also. So, it was a perfect combination....a Dessert Party!!!!

I also have to give a shout out to Sandy and Jessica who were my party consultants. Sandy helped me bake all these delicious desserts. Thanks, Sandy! Your double ovens, rock!

The menu included...Mini Cookies 'N' Cream Cupcakes with a little Oreo (the vegan version) on top

Mini Parfaits (No-Bake Pecan Crust crumbled, Vegan Vanilla mousse, blueberries, strawberries whipped, chocolate chips, and a cherry on top)

Also, we had Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. Olivia and I picked the flowers at Jim's Farm that morning.

These are the little door prizes I put together. They were filled with cookies!

It looks like a spread from a magazine. I can also attest that the food was fantastic. I loved those little parfaits...mmmm, just thinking about them makes me hungry.
