Kitchen Runway
Now for the important part…the food. The food looked and tasted delicious and were all courtesy of Trader Joe’s. The pigs in the blanket, mini quiche (which I forgot to take a picture of) and scones were all yummy – and I highly recommend them if you’re in a pinch. The jalapeno puffs were not so popular and I would skip these. Although the little puffs do look pretty adorable.
The macarons and chocolates were from Valentino Chocolatier. I especially loved the macarons. The beautiful bright colors are just so fun and the texture is so light and airy. The buttery madelines were also from Trader Joe’s.
(By the way, aren’t the plates just beautiful? Vivian found all of the china, teapots & cups on Etsy)
You can’t go to a party empty handed…So this is what I made: quick and easy marshmallow pops!
Easy Marshmallow Pops
What you need: candy melts, large marshmallows, sprinkles, lollipop sticks & a foam brick
Directions on how to make these simple treats:
1) Melt the candy melts according to the directions on the package (I like to melt mine in a coffee mug so that I have a handle to hold onto and it’s deep enough for dipping my marshmallows) Just melt what you think you’ll need. (about a handful) You can always melt more later if needed.
2) Stick a lollipop stick halfway into the marshmallow. Dip the top half into the candy melt mixture. Swirl it around to make sure it’s coated evenly. Sprinkle your decorations on while the candy melt is still wet (sanding sugar, sprinkles, etc) I stuck a conversation heart on top in honor of Valentine’s Day. (just apply a small dab of the candy melt to the bottom of the candy to adhere) Stick the marshmallow pop into a foam brick to dry.
How to make the conversation heart display:
1) Fill a smaller vase 3/4 full with a filler such as uncooked rice/beans/etc. (I used a glass cup & rice)
2) Put that smaller vase into a larger size vase. Now fill the sides with conversation hearts – or any other small candy (ex: red hots, M&Ms, etc).
3) Voila! You’re done! You can even tie a pretty ribbon around the vase…(unfortunately I ran out of time)
Here’s my sister modeling the finished “pop”. Fun right?
