Dessert Party
by W.Holidays

This is a fun get together with family and friends. Imagine a buffet table filled with just dessert! You could have a straight variety of pastries, all international desserts or different kinds of chocolate.

Invitation: Create your own invitations. Start with chocolate brown card stock and create a collage of desserts on each card.

Dress: casual or fancy

Decor: Have a simple table, white tablecloth and some flowers.  You don't want to take away from the desserts. Use cloth napkins, china, silverware, and goblets for milk.

Activities/Games:

• Guess the insides:  Set out an assortment of 10 chocolates and number them.  Let each guest write down what they think is on the inside, may sure you know ahead of time.  Whoever guesses the most correct wins the chocolate.  Ties must split the booty.
• Guess the chocolate: Blindfold the guests and let them taste a type of candy, chocolate, or cookie and see if they can tell what it is.
• Chocolate Therapy : Dare to Discover Your Inner Center!  This is a great book.  You need this book and a box of chocolate. Let everyone pick a piece of chocolate and then read what their choice reveals about his or her personality!
  

Prizes/Party Favors: What else, a small box of assorted chocolates or a little bag of cookies.

Food/Cake:
Most importantly you want a blend textures and flavors.  Make sure you have something smooth and creamy, crunchy, fruity, nutty, and chocolate.

To drink have coffee, tea, milk, and water.
Of course you can also make this a potluck and ask everyone to bring a dessert but give each person a mission so you get a variety. IE: one person has to bring a fruit dessert, another the creamy pie.

Cut the pieces smaller than normal. People will feel comfortable tasting several items. Allow 3 pieces per person, along with some cookies.
