I still remember the summer of '96 and being glued to the TV watching the Magnificent Seven wow the world as they won gold in gymnastics. That is still probably my favorite Olympic moment. Awww, those were good times.
Well we just moved to a new place and ambitiously decided to throw an open house party on the same night as the Olympic opening ceremonies (get it, London is opening up the Olympics to the world and we are opening up our new apartment to, well a slighter smaller crowd, our friends. And of course what would a party be without baked goods (especially because with our new roomie with have not one but TWO Kitchen Aid mixers!)?
So here is our dessert buffet:
We were trying to think of a clever way to display the Olympic colors and theme. Here's the deal:
Blue = Blueberry Boy Bait (with some extra blue coloring on top)
Yellow = Lemon Bars (a family recipe)
Black = Triple Chocolate Cookies (with macadamia nut Hershey kisses because they are just oh so yummy!)
Green = Funfetti Cupcakes (ALWAYS a good idea) with green cream cheese frosting
Red = Red Velvet Whoopie Pies because I can't not make whoopie pies with cream cheese frosting.
I hope you find some fun ideas to throw your own Olympics party!
