Bridal Tea Party

My brother, Kenny, is getting married. We had a little tea party for my future sister-in-law, Charlene, this weekend. I was up all night baking. I love to take over the desserts department so even though I was having a blast, it was pure torture because I'm on a diet. Here's a little teaser of what's to come this week.

I made Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cookies which I already posted. I also made Amy's Pecan Tassie's (she's my husband's cousin and I love her to death...super cool chic...GO STEELERS!). I made Oreo Truffles, a Kahlua cake, and then I was lame and made from box mixes...cupcakes and brownie bites.

The next day at the party, I ordered scones from my most favorite bakery in Scottsdale, The Bread Basket. I made homemade Devonshire Cream and served them with Lemon Curd and Raspberry Jam (from Trader Joe's), as well. And I also buy little Lemon Bites from Costco...those things are just pure evil.


I will post the recipes this week....stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting my site, yes, I do believe we hang in the same crowds :) I will never forget seeing DM's David's tall and lanky body behind a curtain at one of their concerts, and getting so excited! Not because of him, but I just loved their music...

Like you blog, oh, and you should read the one about 'Goddess'ess' I have a food blog too, but try and keep that separate...
