Riverbend Art Gallery Event




Can you ever get tired of walking into a flower shop with that yummy, crisp, "green" smell & so much gorgeous eye candy? We knew we were on the prowl for some red ranunculus since it was an elegant function & our color scheme was red, white & chocolate ...& once we were in the cooler there was so much inspiration! We grabbed a beautiful lime hydrangea, some green hypericum & some sweet little mums ...& fell in LOVE with some pussywillow, which become our centerpiece. They even look lovely just wrapped in the brown paper...










Here's a view of the table... The Riverbend Art Gallery has really gorgeous pieces from the most amazing artists! It was a wonderful backdrop to show off a sampling of our culinary arts as well.



Devil's food mini cupcakes with silky dark chocolate ganache ...heaven.


Almond "Lotties" are old-fashioned, cakey & light with an almond icing. They're homey & unexpectedly addictive!


These shortbread linzers are the perfect little cookie. The shortbread is buttery & crisp with homemade raspberry preserves. They taste as amazing as they look.

We have the perfect coconut macaroon...creamy, chewy yumminess!Ooooooo...these will make anyone giddy: Dark Chocolate Carmel Truffles with Sea Salt. These are a favorite & definitely rival any chocolates you've ever had!



Espresso Snowcaps - The espresso adds such a depth to the flavor of this rich, chocolaty, moist cookie.







These boxes of truffles flew out the door! A great idea for a party favor.
