| Casino Night Meringue Tower and Pumpkin Pie Pops |
I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing group of the hardest working moms around. Out school district, along with many others all over the county I'm sure, has had more than it's fair share of budget cuts. Hoping to ease the burden at least a little bit we decided to hold a Casino Night Fundraiser. Holy Hannah was it fun. AND A LOT OF WORK. Seriously. I am still recovering.

| Chocolate Fountain |
Other than they joy of getting to work with these amazing women, I did get to live out my Vegas-style dessert buffet fantasy. Chocolate fountains, meringues, tarts, mini pie-pops! I was in heaven!

| Lemon Tarts and Salt Water Taffy |
There are a few things I would do differently. The meringue on the Lemon Tarts "melted" and spread. The chocolate fountain is MESSY!!!! so maybe a smaller, separate table is in order and the Meringue Tower was so tall and glittery, I don't think people realized that it was edible! Maybe an "Eat Me" sign is in order. Just FYI...if you plan on making Mini Pumpkin Pie Pops with Cinnamon Whipped Cream, be sure you have A TON of them. They were the favorite of the night!

| Chocolate Cupcakes with real BUTTERcream |
All in all, it was an incredibly rewarding event. Both in terms of money for our school AND time spent with wonderful people.
