This post is a small part joke and mostly fabulous. My close friends and I seem to end up decorating cookies, cupcakes and real cakes for all of our holiday gatherings. While perhaps not culinary-museum-worthy feats, they certainly bring personality to the affair!
One can always look to Ina for a cake to make the party - my dear little friend Annie has now graced our 4th of July bash with the Contessa's divine flag cake for two years in a row. Complete with sparklers and a patriotic sing-a-long it's a guaranteed way to make the dessert the main event.
Looking for something easier? All you need is fun shaped cookie cutters, appropriate colored frosting and several creative geniuses to add flare to the dessert selection. Last Halloween, ghost shaped cookies were adorned with the names of the party-goers in orange and brown frosting.
I am sad that the "Big Mama" Cupcake did not make it to the Blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that deserves to be included in the post about how small British children add exponentially to festivities.
