Hubby and I hosted a pink-themed – okay, I chose the theme and he kindly went along with it – dessert party this past weekend. Fun, calorie-rich times 🙂
MENU
Brownie Bites with Strawberries & Whipped Cream
Red Velvet, Chocolate, Yellow Cake, and Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Mini Cheesecakes, Tarts, and Eclairs
Strawberry Shortcake
Cookies & Cream Milkshakes
Bottled Water, Sparkling Water, Milk, Coffee, and Moscato

I usually set out my buffet well in advance of the get-together. Visualizing where things are going to go helps me get organized and makes things so much easier the day of the party.

Beverage Tub: Target/ Cups, Saucers, Sugar Bowl, and Creamer: Crate & Barrel
KuppyCakes Red Velvet Cupcakes
Ms. Cain at KuppyCakes (Atlanta area) makes from scratch the most amazing cupcakes! We were drooling over the list of cupcake flavors and had a hard time limiting ourselves to just four different types for this party. These red velvet ones are a must-have. Y-U-M.
More KuppyCakes! I love the design and the perfect amount of icing, plus chocolate sprinkles! See, now I’m going to have to type with one hand while I eat the only leftover.
Simple, easy dessert #1: Top small brownies with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices. I love how they look displayed on a lidded cake stand.
Simple, easy dessert #2: Blend milk, vanilla ice cream, and crumbled chocolate sandwich cookies. Top with whipped cream, and garnish with a cookie. Throw in a striped old-fashioned paper straw, and done.
Simple, easy dessert #3: Layer cubed angel food (or pound) cake, sliced strawberries, and whipped cream for a no-bake strawberry shortcake.

You just gave me wonderful ideas for mini treats for my daughter’s 13th birthday party!! Wanted to make it look less like a kid’s party as much as possible!! Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad this post inspired you 🙂
