Refreshments for parties and showers honoring the bride-to-be offer exciting and intriguing possibilities, for with a bit of ingenuity almost anything can assume a sweetheart motif. Refreshments are simple in that as a rule the hostess plans only to serve a salad, cake or other dessert with coffee. But this dessert allows latitude of many possibilities that can prove very special — a Pineapple Mousse, molded in heart shape offers an elegant example. Again something different would be twin heart canes, or you might make little individual wedding cakes or bells, served on a tray with smilax around them. If you serve a salad it can be molded in heart shape or decorated with a heart motif. Even individual bonbons can be formed in heart shape upon a plate for serving. If you’re giving a kitchen shower, a novel idea is to decorate your cakes with “kitchen cupboards”. The party may be for the bride but if you just use your own imagination everyone will have as much fun as the guest of honor!
