Meet my friend Sarai (and myself):
Sarai have been friends since high school, she is a fire fighter in Saco, Maine, allergic to food colorings, and she just celebrated her 26th birthday. For her birthday my husband and myself had a gathering for her at our house. Like most gatherings I have, I find a great excuse to create lovely desserts! I wanted to do something for her that involved her love of fire fighting but obviously not the easiest of things to do considering she is allergic to food colorings.
I decided to do a Fire and Ice themed dessert buffet - which would include fire colored desserts and white "water" desserts that Sarai could actually eat. I even flexed my artistic charm by painting two posters to look like fire and water.
The desserts included chocolate covered pretzels in red, orange, and yellow, chocolate cupcakes with buttercream, vanilla cupcakes with buttercream, white chocolate covered toasted coconut balls, and cinnamon and mint candy.
My favorite part of this table was the chocolate cupcakes. I did a simple buttercream trick that made the frosting look like flames!
I would love to know your "simple buttercream trick" :)
