Delicious Dessert

Photo and Idea from: Thedahlingdatingdivas.blogspot.com

This pretty but easy dessert is perfect for one of those romantic nights with camp.  Use Hostess Twinkies and strawberry topping and whipped cream for this concoction.  Cut the Twinkies in the shape of a heart, add fruit (and maybe some whipped cream) and Voila! Make your sweetheart laugh but also enjoy this fun dessert.

Real Simple's website offered some new cupcake ideas that you might like to use for your wedding, shower or just for a nice dessert.  The above sundae is called "Sundae Best" and it's a minicupcake topped with hot fudge and a scoop of quality vanilla ice cream.  It's making me hungry right now!

This cupcake is called "The Short Stack"  and is a luscious concoction that resembles strawberry shortcake.  Slice your cupcake in thirds, and put back together with a filling of vanilla flavored whipped cream and berries of your choice.  Add a sprig of mint to finish off the pretty presentation.

Use votive holders as a perfect container for a bite-size cupcake. Use mini-muffin tins, gently dust the cupcakes with 10x sugar, and you can even add candles or shortened sparklers.
