2009 Summer Social Dessert Tasting

This is a non-crafty post but it is a CREATIVE post. Last night our friend's hosted us at their 2009 Summer Social Dessert Tasting. Nick makes all the desserts and is assisted by Jim. OMG - can you say DELISH?? We took some pictures last night b/c everything was just presented so well and it tasted awesome. So, on with the show:

Here is the full dessert table view (minus chocolate mousse)

Here is a closer look: (Note the dessert menus in the middle)

crisp topping of oatmeal and brown sugar.
