Hostess with the Mostess part sept

The winner of my Shabby Apple giveaway is Lindsay of Delighted Momma, congrats girl!
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I mentioned on Friday that Sean and I would be getting frozen yogurt and seeing an outdoor movie, however, we stayed indoors, rented a movie but still got frozen yogurt. Word of warning, don't get in between me and my Yogurtland. 

Their salted caramel pecan is ah-mazing and Little Caesar's pizza makes for a quick buy for dinner.

I am almost finishing up this Hostess with the Mostess, a series on how you can be the perfect hostess for a party. I have been pretty covered all the aspects of  party, if any of you think I have left something out, please let me know. 

To re-cap, I have discussed the theme, decorations,  drinks, appetizers, the main course and a 4th of July inspired party

For this next installation of Hostess with the Mostess, 

I am talking about the sweetest part of any meal, the dessert.

For me, when planning a party, you can to pair the dessert with the meal, if you have a light meal, keep the dessert on the light side with a sorbet or granita.

If I were having hamburgers and hot dogs at a party, I might make an apple pie or have chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches, a staple my mom would make when I was growing up.

Desserts are fun for me to make, I am more of a baker than a cook and if you knew me then you would know I will always ask what dessert can I bring. 

What makes a good dessert for your party is to keep it simple, brownies, cookies, cupcakes. Have the desserts in individual servings for your guest. A cake is not a good idea that everyone has to cut up for themselves, or everyone will stare at everyone else wondering who is going to the first person to cut into that cake. 

Here are a few dessert ideas for chocolate fans.

If you are going for a lighter dessert, fruit is always a great choice!

Maybe the humidity still has everyone sweating at 9pm and to cool off, you offer some chilled desserts.

If you want to include ice cream, you can pre-scoop ice cream into cupcake liner, place them in the cupcake pan and leave it the freezer until serving time.

What I enjoy about desserts is the possibilities are endless and I'm sure for the party you are hosting, you will enjoy pairing your dessert with the theme and menu of your party.
