A Chic Dessert Table for the Holidays...

I love cooking and baking because it relaxes me but when it comes to entertaining I prefer to focus on the presentation to get that "wow" factor...you can find amazing desserts in places like WholeFoods Market, Trader Joe's, or your regular grocery store, take a few of the same shapes and sizes, place them in square white serving dishes with name tags to identify them, and voila! 

P.S.: The chocolate spoons and peanut butter sushis are great treats for kids!
