A Pride and Prejudice Themed 16th Birthday

A lovely food spread for a teen turning 16! At the end of the night she said, "All my Pinterest dreams came true tonight!" I used her Pinterest board to shape the menu with lots of desserts including chocolate dipped pretzel rods, cake pops, chocolate dipped strawberries, mini trifles and cupcakes. I wanted the menu to be very teen friendly with pizza rolls, sandwiches, homemade pretzel bites, mini roasted potato bites (which were a big hit!) and a beautiful fresh fruit tray.












The dessert bar

We served strawberry lemonade and lots of ice water to keep everyone cool!


A pink candy platter with all the pink candy I could find! 


Mini strawberry trifles with pound cake


Coconut Cupcakes with pink satin bow toppers


Oreo cheesecake bites are always a favorite!


Chocolate dipped strawberries
 (we were trying to keep them cool in the July evening heat, so we served them on pretty parchment 
over ice sheets to keep the chocolate from melting)


Chocolate and Vanilla cake pops
