Presentation Presentation Presentation

As we have always been told, presentation is everything in all facets of life. When hosting a party I love the tablescape (all things tableware and food display). The presentation should be appealing, exciting and most of all attractive enough to entice your guest.  One of the easiest things to serve your guests are desserts. Having a dessert buffet has gotten even easier w/ beautiful cake stands like the ones by Z Gallerie, Pottery Barn and Horchow to name a few. They come in all shapes and sizes with and without domes and are multi purpose. You can always serve tapas, hors d'oeuvres and other items as prettily and fanciful as you please. Elevated cakestands give varying height and depth to your table making it look fuller. What else have you or would you display on these beautiful cake stands?  As always we are here to help you plan your best parties at home. Contact us at thehautehost@gmail.com

Hello Cupcake

In keeping with the Easter theme, desserts and kid entertainment. Here are some of the cutest cupcakes you can surprise your guest with at brunch, lunch or dinner. Again, it can be self serve, portion controlled (maybe), a possible kid decorating activity and all around pretty conversation piece. This will definitely inspire tongues to wag before they start to drool. You can have some if you live the DC metro area. If you hurry and hop on over to http://www.pinkpiggysweets.com/ to order them.  Order a bunch, stack them on varying height cake stands and make it a centerpiece. The colors are a great reminder of Spring being near and simply makes you smile. Enjoy!
