Q: Dear April Masini,
I'm throwing my daughter a big sweet sixteen party and I want to make it as special as possible. I have a great venue, fabulous decorations, and delicious food all planned out. Can you think of any other things I can do to make her party a huge success?
Sincerely,
Mom of a Sweet Teen
A:
Dear Mom of a Sweet Teen,
In order to make your daughter's sweet sixteen party as special as possible, you need to plan the perfect dessert. And that doesn't mean it has to be vanilla. And it doesn't even mean it has to be cake.
First of all, cakes are no longer just vanilla. In fact chocolate cakes are a growing trend, as are cupcakes on a tiered presentation instead of a single cake, are very popular, as well. Serve tiered platters of 16 cupcakes on tables for a party that is truly trendy, truly sweet, sixteen.
