For her first birthday it was a winter ONE-derland theme so we had a sweets table with snowballs (powdered donuts), icicles (rock candy), snow covered pretzels (white chocolate), peppermint bark, marshmallow north poles. For her second birthday I got lazy so it was just the cake, nothing else. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040959 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:15:37 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2040959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a traditional smash cake for DD and bundtinis from Nothing Bundt Cakes for everyone else, plus a sweets table with custom cookies, candy and other sweets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040951 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:09:41 +0000 looch 2040951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have too much food, especially desserts. At my son's first birthday, we had the cake, tiramisu, cookies, and fruit. Most of it, including the two tier cake, was left over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040943 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:06:01 +0000 coopsmama 2040943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cupcakes, brownies, and ice cream at my son's first birthday. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040913 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:49:57 +0000 StbHisMrs 2040913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made blueberry muffins with crispy strudel type toppings for M's 2nd Birthday in addition to cake, they were a bigger hit and much easier!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040856 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:16:35 +0000 shinymama 2040856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a dessert table that included the cake and cupcakes, cake pops, along with dipped Oreos and rice krispie treats.

She made then fresh on the spot so it was fun for DH's side to try something they've never tried nor be able to get from a restaurant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-desserts-other-than-cake-at-your-los-party#post-2040810 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 14:51:25 +0000 catomd00 2040810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only getting a cake for DD for her 1st birthday.

I am debating if I should just stick with cupcakes and make it easy on myself or if I should have another dessert like cookies or something else that's easy. Thoughts? </p>
