so late last year one of my best friends had her engagement party. she asked me to take care of a dessert buffet and i was sooo excited to do it. it was the first time i had to make a large amount of food for a specific occasion.
on the menu was...
VANILLA FUDGE! my mom makes this fudge every year for christmas and she got it from my dad's sister (aka my aunt!) this fudge is the most delicious thing in the world. it's very rich and sweet so i can't take big bites of it.. but that's probably for the best.
TRUFFLES! i just found a random truffle recipe online and coated them in chopped almonds, walnuts, icing sugar and coconut. not all together of course! gotta give the people some selection!
CAKE POPS! another Bakerella classic! these things are the cutest thing i've made. what's better than cake on a stick? that's right, nothing.
CUSTARD TARTS! cute little tart filled with homemade custard topped with a few fresh blueberries. tasty tasty!
PIE POPS! these are a little time consuming and i was on a tight schedule, but i really wanted to make these for them. they call eachother "pie" as a pet name so there was nothing more fitting. so i threw together a bunch just for them.
overall i think the dessert table was a hit! i sort of lurked around the table to hear what people were saying and everything i heard was positive, especially the aesthetics of it all. there isn't one thing that i made for that night that i wouldn't be excited to make again.
ta da!!!
so everytime i don't feel like making food but i feel like making a post, i'll just reminisce!!!
And what a hit that dessert table was!!!! It was soooo yummy wowiwowowowoowoww was all we could say!!!! My 'pie' and I reaaaally loved it!
