Real party: a berries and branches holiday party - Dairy Foods

I am excited to share this lovely, seasonally appropriate party sent over by Renee of Renee Takes the Cake blog.  Renee hosted this party in her home earlier this month with an overall theme of berries and branches.  I love the color scheme and overall look and feel of this party; holiday inspired without going overboard on typical holiday details.  And just wait until you see all the amazing food Renee served.

As told by Renee:

All the food and drink were either based on a berry, wine, and/or cheese. The colors were mainly berry red with some blue and brown mixed in for contrast.

The menu consisted of the following:

Dessert:

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Cranberry Coconut Macaroons
Goat Cheese Truffles
Peppermint and Cream Cheese Cake Pops
Candy - Strawberry Zaza Chews, Gummie Raspberries, Filled Red Raspberries and Blue Raspberry Rock Candy. Homemade Peppermint Bark was given as a take home favor.

Food:

Assorted Cheeses and Crackers
Brushetta with Pears, Goat Cheese and Honey
Brie en Croute
Three Cheese Artichoke Dip

Drink:

Cranberry Sangria
Assorted Wine

Looks like Renee has mastered cake pops.  I have yet to make them successfully!
