Sweet 15 SweetsTable

So  this sweets table was for my darling niece's 15th birthday. She loves anything sweet so it was a fun table to make. Some treats were store bought while others were homemade. 




For the yummy no-bake cheesecake bites in a shot glass, I followed Madigan Made 's tutorial. Not only were they simple and inexpensive to make but they were a huge hit at the party!
The yummy organic Guava concoction was made by my beautiful momma. She had extra Guavas and decided to make use of them for the event. 

 

Although I LOVE cakepops, the marshmallow pops are easier to make (plus I was running out of time). The marshmallows were dipped in dark chocolate (which I purchased at a local store) and then dipped in either coconut flakes, graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, or a mixture of all three. 


Well these aren't exactly fruit tarts...but when I was making the labels for them I had a brain fart and couldn't remember the proper name. I still don't. But, nonetheless, they had fruit in them. Strawberries and raspberries to be exact. The sponge cakes were purchased at Fresh and Easy and I followed bannerboutique's super easy frosting/filling. All you need for it is cool whip and an 8 oz. bar of cream cheese, mix together and VIOLA!



My wonderful sister had the genius idea of ordering her three layered frosted cake from Northgate (at half the price that any other baker would have charged....$40). She picked up ribbon and the lavender edible roses from another local grocery store ($8) and just assembled it to her liking. The entire project was less than $50. Isn't it fabulous?



I have to stop and mention how cool the pretzel stands look! My wonderful friends at MKR let me borrow the stands for this event. I love how the chocolate covered pretzels hang. 

My homemade vanilla cupcakes and wrappers were fun to make. The paper for the wrappers were purchased at Michaels (used the same paper for my "Sweet Madeline" banner) and hand cut each and every cupcake holder (I googled a sample online and used it as a guide) and used glue stick to hold it together. 


Happy Birthday my Sweet Madeline!
