This past weekend, I was honored to be asked to provide sweets for a 50th Anniversary Party of the in-law grandparents of a knottie who I did a wedding spread for recently.
Phyllis and Mike have been married for 50 years! 50 years?! Wow. So I had to put something that showed how momentous that was on the table. My theme was "How Sweet it Is" Celebrating 50 Delicious Years.
Held at a local yacht club in Philadelphia, I did two tables at the request of the family.
One table for the children which included penny candy, a tiered cookie/danish/brownie tray and Philly Soft Pretzels done in the initials of the lucky couple.

The adult sweet table consisted of all homemade cookies/tarts that my mother made: (This is her specialty from working in several local tea rooms - all are her own creations and recipes that she does not share with even her own daughters)
- Tassies (a brown sugar nut filled tart dusted with a cocoa Chambord)
- Madelines (moist with a hint of lemon)
- Miniature Carrot Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
- Rugelach (raisins, apricots)
- Apple and Cherry Crumb Cakes
- Frosted Ricotta Cookies
- Mini Indulgence Fudge Cakes
- Chocolate drizzled Biscotti
- Amaretto Squares
- Fresh Fruit Medley with Mint
A little poem to display the sweets:
"50 Years?!
That's not small feat! ...
and Phyllis & Mike have a Love that's Sweet.
So let's all celebrate
with Treats to Eat!"
