Suave Style Party

I hosted a Suave Style Party

just in time to give some really sweet ladies

 a quick styling with Suave Professional Products,

and show them how a few minutes can change your look entirely.

 I made these red velvet cupcakes

with pink cream cheese frosting.

The frosting was delicious and  many asked how I made it,

 here is the simple but delicious recipe

whip together,

1 package of cream cheese

1 stick of butter

2 cups powdered sugar

{ I added two drops of pink coloring}

The toppers were made from fondant.

This was the first time I had ever worked with fondant

I purchased Wilton's fondant primarily for the ease of use,

I wrote on each piece with an edible marker.

{I will eventually make it myself, it's on my list....}

Next are the appetizers..

I made some tortellini kabobs with salami, Italian parsley, provolone cheese, black olive and pepperoncini and pepperoni.

I marinated the tortellini in Italian dressing I made overnight.

more photos on what I served are Here as well

I made Sangria

I mixed Dry white wine, (one large bottle Pinot Grigio)

1/2 cup triple sec

with 10 oz of Pom Wonderful

3 cups apple juice

the juice from 4 oranges, 3 lemons, and 2 limes

I cut up 2 additional oranges,2 lemons and a lime as well as 4 apples to place in the Sangria

I made apple juice ice cubes to keep it chilled and not dilute it.

I was cutting it to the wire before everyone arrived,

well the truth is a few arrived and I had just thrown, (really thrown) my hair up into these twisted pig-tails and still had to run up and change, I was glad to see a few arrive with decorative scarves it reminded me I had a t-shirt that came with a scarf I believe with the 20% off coupon I had,

 it was about $5.00

and there you have it!

Thanks to everyone who could come.
