Hostess With The Mostess

I had my family over the day after Christmas for dinner.  Obviously Christmas was over, but I wanted to create something that was pretty and felt like winter.  So I came up with a snowflake theme.  Wishing for snow since it was probably about 60 degrees outside in Virginia.  Very warm December in general.  I baked all the desserts.  I wanted to stick to the theme, but wanted to throw some a little color in there and I love candy canes.  I made the "S" shape chocolate fill candycanes for Snowflake.  I printed the tags for free and added some sparkle to come.  I created the centerpiece by spray painting tree branches I had found outside and use two swirly ones from "hobby lobby".  I really wanted to make it seems like snowflakes were falling, so besides that cookies i created, I had snowflakes flaking as a backdrop.  So fun, everyone enjoyed the desserts, especially the snowflake cookies!!
