Monday night was the monthly meeting of the Crossroads Garden Club, and it was my turn to bring refreshments. The topic was roses, so I tried to carry out the theme with my treats. They included homemade pimiento cheese sandwiches with
tomato roses and ...
... chocolate cupcakes in two different sizes and ...
... Pumpkin-Cranberry Muffins made in a Nordic Ware petit fours pan with flower-shaped cavities. Ironically, after searching the internet for a pumpkin muffin recipe, the one I came across just happened to be one my step-daughter Heather submitted to Cooking Light magazine five years ago, and it is delicious. And it is
here.
Our garden club president, Deberah, had decorated the food table with a rose design lace tablecloth, even.
That pulled everything together quite nicely, I thought. And yes, I learned a lot about growing roses at the meeting, so maybe you'll be seeing some pretty new rose varieties on my blog next spring!
How clever of you to bake rose themed goodies too! I belong to 2 garden clubs, although they are technically horticultural societies and many of my gardening columns come from information I get from the knowledgeable speakers.
ReplyDeleteI 'm baking today for a card workshop and tea I'm hosting Saturday.
