All Things For All Parties

Toasty Baked Brie

What party would be complete without a cheese plate, and what could be better than a warm, baked brie!!!  It definitely makes a comforting cold-weather addition to your next soiree. While some recipes serve up the gooey goodness in puff pastry, this version takes an even simpler approach, with just four ingredients to spread atop accompanying crackers or crostini...come on who doesn't love easy?!?!

I don't know if I am just really hungry but the maple-pecan-topped wedge just looks so incredibly yummy that I think I am going to have to make this appie for my hubby's bday celebration tomorrow evening

Ok so here's how to make it straight from Everyday Food...(thanks for sharing)

Cake Stands

 
Have you seen our new Cake Stands?   

We have partnered with Sarah's Stands to bring you these gorgeous Cake Stands.  These cake stands are designed with a simple concept in mind, to be the stage on which the cake will shine. The classic pedestal shape elevates and enhances the cake making it the center of attention while the pop of color adds a modern touch. And, they are created specifically with larger cakes in mind. The sturdy base and strong top plate ensure that our cake stands can hold the weight of tiered cakes, while the proportions allow you to cut on them without worry.

Bonus:  These cake stands are completely constructed here in the United States. They are made of sustainable soft maple wood and turned by skilled artisans. They are then individually finished with a food safe paint. This process produces a top of the line cake stand that will truly make your cake stand out.

They come in various sizes and a variety of colors.
