Elegant Desserts

Elegance is something everyone strives for especially when desserts are involved. The color white is nothing but elegant and challenged me to create small petite treats for an All White Party held during a recent August evening. The host served white-wine punch and a non-alcohol punch for her white attired guests.

The color white is a fun challenge for any host and the desserts needed to accent the elegance of the evening while providing a unique sense of bite size fun. My dessert table represented the party's theme while offering a bit of elegance with gold stemmed candle holders that brought a hint of royalty to the table.

Pink and Black Celebration

This was such a spectacular event at The Syndicate featuring a dessert table and the couples signature drink a white wine Sangria.  Keeping with the theme of the night the dessert table was more citrus desserts, with our infamous red velvet.  As for the drink which is made of white wine and a spritzer with fruit it went well with not only the dessert table, but with the great appetizers that were served.  So when planning your occasion think of how the food, drinks and desserts will complement each other.  Thinking of those little tidbits keep your guests pallet wanting more and trying all that is being offered.

Red Velvet Cake Shake Tasting

Sweet Petit Desserts had their Red Velvet Cake Shake Tasting on last Thursday.  We are happy to report that it was a success and that everyone enjoyed it.  I would like to say thank you for taking the time to come out and sample what is becoming a trend amongst "shake lovers".  So again Kudos and we look forward to the next tasting!  Hummm I wonder what will be next.....

Here are a few comments from our tasters!

• Taste great, liked the texture, need a little more ice cream.
• I want a whole bucket...tasted like oreos!
• Taste great!  Taste like cookies & cream ice cream.  The texture was good.  It reminds me of sipping ice cream.  It wasn't too thick.
• Taste great, like the color, could be a little thicker, can taste the Red Velvet!
• Taste like cookies and cream!
• Free flowing, just enough cake to not get caught in the straw.  Consistency is optimal.  Just sweet enough.  Can taste the whole milk.  Overall, I like it, was a great sensory experience.  P.S. Is Key Lime on the drawing board????
• Make the shake medium thick with an intense cake taste.  Its very good!  Idea:  add alcohol or hint of liqueur.....
• This was great!  It has a very creamy/cookies & cream taste.  Nice....
