LDS Christmas Party

This year us and another couple (plus some amazing friends) were in charge of our church Christmas party. It was a Saturday morning breakfast buffet Christmas party. This is a little off topic for my chocolate blog :) but we did have some super fun chocolate chocolates I created for the event and I thought I share the rest of the party too since decorating a LDS cultural hall brings with it whole new level of challenges. Here is some ideas-

I decided to set the food table in the middle of the cultural hall and run two 8 foot tables down each side. We planned for 250 guests and we wanted to make the flow smooth and quick. We capped the tables with plates and decorations at the beginning and at the end with an assortment of fruit.  The cold drinks and hot cocoa bar were on separate tables.

My husband found old fencing to build this stable. The nativity photo booth for families was such a big hit! Our primary assembled a great selection of costumes for everyone to choose from and helped take pictures. We got the best family photo here ❤️❤️

 

Each seat was adorned with a chocolate nativity as a gift. I can't throw a party without giving everyone chocolate! And even more chocolate.. 

 

 

The colors were very non-traditional for Christmas. We went with white, teal, gold, and burlap accents. Classy, crisp, modern and clean was the idea.

Gourmet apples-- my fav!!!  With the exception of special events, weddings, bridal and baby showers I always take a break mid to late summer making chocolates. Now that apples are available again  fresh from the local orchards I'm back to cooking  up caramel in big batches. Lots of deliciousness to come!

Say Aloha to these adorable pineapple pretzel rods created for an hawaiian themed graduation party. Smaller pretzel rods were dipped in homemade caramel & decorated with yellow, green and dark chocolate. 

Have a HAPPY SUMMER!

A trio of cake pops make a great teacher present! Have a happy summer! 

Pink & Yellow Tea Time Cake Pops

Would you like dessert with your afternoon tea? 

These pink and yellow cake pops were created for a girls end of school tea party. Delicious cake pops pair perfectly with your favorite friend and cup of herbal tea. Croquet anyone? 

Fields of Bunnies

This was created for an Easter party as an edible centerpiece. Seems like I've been on a cake pop kick lately so I strayed away to create other traditional Easter chocolates. Delicious hollow bunnies, chocolate dipped peep suckers, coconut and peanut butter foil wrapped eggs, peanut clusters, robins nests, peanut butter frogs, chocolate carrots, and haystacks. Don't forget some jelly beans too!

Spring Frogs

These will make your heart hop! Peanut butter filled frogs for spring.

Puppy Cake Pops

 These puppy cake pops are sure to melt your heart-- no snuggling required! 

How adorable are these little pups? They come with lots of personality and you won't mind biting.

Black & White Cake Pops

 A black & white party for a little lady who, just like the colors is classy, modern and dynamic. 

In an effort not be too formal or have them resemble wedding favors, I added a bit of fun like crushed Oreo's and flaked coconut snowballs. These cake pops were for people who like to party.

BRAZIL - LDS Missionary Cake Pops

Welcome home Sister Lauren Whitney!  

My how time flies! We are so excited to see our niece return home from serving her LDS Mission in Brazil. For her homecoming party I created Brazil themed cake pops featuring the Brazil flag and the colors blue, green and yellow. 

Snowball Cake Bites

I've been missing the crisp, white beauty of winter this year-- I do love this weather though! These snowball cake bites remind me of cooler days. Rich, chocolate fudge cake balls are dipped in white chocolate then rolled in soft flake coconut.  Usually this time of year these tasty little guys are great companion with a warm cup of hot chocolate :) This year however this is the only snowballs we have to throw around.

LOVE Oreo Pops

It's the month of LOVE and I love OREOS! I can't eat them straight from the package.. oh no.. they are meant to be dipped, drizzled and decorated. Better yet, turn them into cute Oreo pops!

Peppermint Crunch Oreos

Do you have bunch of leftover candy canes? One idea is to break them into little pieces and use them as sprinkles! Peppermint and chocolate is a super tasty combination. I like to buy them after Christmas on clearance. I drop all my candy canes in a bag and hit them with a wooden spoon to break them up. I like mine kinda chunky. You can also run them through a food processor. These are white chocolate dipped, double stuffed Oreos. I drizzled with a little milk chocolate and topped off with my candy cane crunch. Delicious!

Dipped Pretzel Ideas

Here is just a few ideas of how you can decorate pretzel twists. A bite size version of the large pretzel rods, they look so cute grouped together. These crunchy, honey wheat pretzel twists are dunked in caramel and chocolate. 

Sweet & salty perfection!
