My cousin Cara tied the knot in Mexico last week, so we threw her a reception this past Saturday.
It was no ordinary "oh let's just have some punch and cake" reception.
My grandmother, who is 75% Paula Deen, slaved over a hot stove all summer (seriously) baking delicious treats for the party.
Have I mentioned that my family has some seriousssss talent?
I don't think I can name a single dessert that we didn't have at the party
Get your bib out because I promise you
. . . there will be drool.
Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chip cream cheese filling.
Cara's favorite childhood treat:
Pretzel sticks covered in caramel and dipped in chocolate . . .Heaven on a stick.
with various toppings like coconut, sprinkles, pistachios, heath bar, and oreos.
I couldn't help but sneak a bite while we were setting up.
Key lime pie cups
Petite fours
(the only thing from the whooooooole party that wasn't homemade)
Mini fruit pastries
Cupcakes and cake balls!
Red velvet trifle with raspberries
