Dessert Table - Lindsey's Pool Party

One of my mom's friends was a guest at my niece's birthday. My dessert table must have left a good impression because she booked a dessert table a few weeks afterwards. She requested a colorful, pool party themed dessert table for 20 kids. Her daughter Lindsey celebrated her 4th birthday at the Fontana Aquatic Center this past Saturday.

 

• 2 Dozen Oreo Chunk Cupcakes w/ custom toppers
• Chocolate covered mini pretzel rods
• Chocolate dipped marshamallows
• Chocolate dipped Oreos w/ gummy fish
• Teddy Bear in a pool Funfetti Cake Pops
• Jelly Beans
• Twizzlers

 This dessert table was fun to create! I had lots of fun trying out new ideas and being creative. I can't wait for the next one!

Cake Stuffed Strawberries

Browsing the internet for yummy cake pictures... I came across these heavenly creations by Jasmine Fine of 1finecookie.com: (Click through for her web-site and recipe!)

Cupcake-Stuffed Strawberries

Thanks to Jasmine's creation (www.1finecookie.com), my next baking project consisting of making my very own cake-stuffed strawberries. 

 I started with half a sheet of funfetti cake mix.

 Crumbled it up!

 Added some leftover, purple tinted, cream cheese frosting.

 Cleaned a bunch of yummy, fresh strawberries.

 Made little openings at the ends, and emptied out a small section in the centers.

 Stuffed with cake mixture and covered the bottom half of the strawberry. I tossed them in the freezer after this for an hour.

Finally, dipped them in candy melts and decorated with nonpareils. Oh how yummy!

Dessert Table - Jasmine's 2nd Birthday

For my first dessert table ever, I was honored to do it for my lovely niece Jasmine.

Jasmine had a Minnie Mouse themed party, so my dessert table had to include bright pinks, yellows and purples. Because it was my first dessert table, I spent 2 weeks shopping for dishes and display pieces, as well as materials to create the different treats for the table. After hours of work in a tiny kitchen... here is the final outcome :) 

Unfortunately, I had to share a table with a ginormous birthday cake, so I had to make do with the smaller than expected space, but it still looked great!

• Giant Chocolate Cupcake with a marshmallow fondant covered bottom and strawberry icing on top with colored nonpareils, topped with a custom "2".
• Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Chunks, topped with purple tinted cream cheese frosting and pink sparkles.
• Funfetti Cupcakes topped with strawberry frosting and colored nonpareils.
• Straweberry Cupcakes topped with chocolate frosting and white nonpareils.
• White chocolate covered pretzel sticks.
• Sweet Tart Jelly Beans
• Starburst Smoothie Jelly Beans
• Red Vines
• Chocolate covered Oreos
• Circus Animals
• An assortment of rice krispie treats on sticks
• Strawberry Cake Cones
• Dipped Marshmallows

Over 10 hours of single man power and over 350 pieces of hand-made sweets, I accomplished my very first dessert table with a huge smile on my face and with hopes of doing many more in the future.
