Cool Finds: Dinner Party Must Haves, Part 3: Dessert Decadence

December 10, 2009 By Desiree Fawn 7 Comments

As the holiday season approaches it’s time to start thinking about all of those fabulous dinner parties that you’ll either be attending or spearheading! In this four part series I’ll be sharing some dinner party must haves that are sure to help make these occasions extra special.

If you have a sweet tooth, then you’re in for a real treat – part 3 of this 4 part series is all about desserts! At the end of your tasty, savoury holiday feast, it’s time to relax, enjoy a coffee or a tea & nibble on something sweet & delectable. To me, holiday desserts should be elegant in presentation, not to difficult to prepare & of course, just sweet enough – a delightful way to top off your fabulous dinner party. Here a just a few of my favourite festive dessert ideas:

    I want to make ALL of these for our dinner this year — that might be overkill, sadly ;)

    I love rice pudding, but I’ve never made it. Maybe I’ll try it!

    I’ve never made it myself either — my grandmother is a pro though! So good.
