Happy Holidays!

This year, we had by far the best Christmas celebration ever. Apart from spending 3 days with our dear friends, we were also invited to their friend's dessert party. What? A dessert party? Yup, countless types of cakes, pies, pastries and appetizers that took more than 10 days to prepare.

Where should I start? Let's start with appetizers - olives, cheese and crackers.

A variety of olives.

Cheese, cheese and more cheese.





The hostess also made her own mushroom pates and pickled her own okras.



Many different types of cookies, almond cookies, ginger cookies, biscottis,  and many more. They have much nicer names but I can't remember all of them. *grin*

What are golf balls? It's an Italian dish. They are cheese wrapped with rice and deep fried.  They're so yummy. Once you pop you can't stop!



Once you finished with the appetizers, let's move on to the desserts! I think we had about 10 cakes and pies, I lost count. Here are just a few of them.



I really like this apple pie, the fruit and the crust are just so yummy!



I didn't expect to like this white chocolate brownies so much! This is one of my favorite!







Precisely hand cut opera cake.



There were way too many desserts and if I were to showcase all of them, I myself probably won't survive this update ... By now, I'm already hungry and hoping that I could take bites after bites into those uber-liscious desserts. *stomach growling.....*

Thanks Fran for the wonderful and amazing out of this world dessert party!



And the extras for the following day!
