{Mirabelle Creations Party} -- "Eat, Drink, & Be Thankful" Thanksgiving Dessert Table

Earlier this fall, we hosted a autumn get-together for friends and their families. It was an evening filled with yummy food, laughter, great coversation, and even a spontaneously combusting chandelier!  Yes, our chandelier caught fire during dinner. It was either the Holy Spirit moving through the room or a poor wiring job by a previous owner.  Your guess is as good as mine!  For the party, I took the opportunity to do a trial run for my "Eat, Drink, and Be Thankful" Thanksgiving Dessert Table.  For all the dessert table deails, please read below. 

 

 

 

 

 

{Desserts} The dessert table started with a rustic Pumpkin Stack Cake. The cake is a modern update to the classic Appalachian Apple Stack Cake (a rustic staple from Kentucky).  For a traditional Apple Stack Cake recipe, try checking out the fabulous Bravetart's recipe.  This pumpkin version of a stack cake is made with pumpkin flavored cake, with pumpkin butter in between the cake layers.  I served it with cinnamon whipped cream.

 

The dessert table also included Maple Crème Cookies, homemade Mini Apple Blueberry Pies, Pumpkin Pie, and Caramel Apples. I also made Pumpkin Butter to send home with all of the guests.  The labels I used for the jars can also be downloaded for FREE. 

 

{Decorations} In our formal living room, we have a beautiful fall landscaping by local artist, David Farmer. Since the painting was the focus of the dessert table, the other decorations were kept simple.  The colors of the printable party collection are based on the painting's colors.  Other elements on the table, included a framed printable party sign, gold spray painted acorns and pumpkins, and a burlap flower adorning the cake stand.  Jute twine was used to decorate the mason jars filled with pumpkin butter and to hang the candy jar tags.
