I've been away lately and I apologize. I was on a trip and then bedridden with back/head pain. I'm quite recovered now and excited to share with you a dessert party menu. I'm hosting a dessert party in a little over a week and I'm trying out new recipes in the kitchen. When hosting a party of any sort, planning is key. You don't want to get overwhelmed at the last minute. A weary, stressed-out host is a damper on any party. Go ahead and try some new recipes for a party, but hold on to some tried and true ones, as well. This way, if a new recipe flops, you're not left stranded.
Following my own advice, I'm planning to have most of the desserts ready several days in advance. Unfrosted cakes will keep in the freezer for months, as will many pastries. So don't be afraid to prep ahead! In fact, some desserts, like cheesecakes are best eaten several days after baked. This time allows the ingredients to mingle and produce a harmonized flavor. So here's what I'm planning on:
*Milk chocolate La Bete Noire
*Dark chocolate La Bete Noire
*Raspberry Ganache French Macaroons
*Cream Puffs
*Brigadeiros
*4 tier White Amaretto Cake
*Glazed Mango Lime Cheesecakes
