And since my oldest is a senior, I, along with many others, put hours upon hours into the planning and execution.
Our theme was "Game On!". We used board games as decorations all over the gym.
Parcheesi welcomed the guests.
For a small fee, you could have your friends "arrested" and sent to a Monopoly jail.
Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
And the food area was, of course, Candyland. There were dinner offerings, but it was the incredible spread of sweets that drew the crowd in.
Homemade gingerbread men, made by Wendy, who organized all the food.
Sugar cookies, made to look like Monopoly cards and Scrabble tiles, from Cookies by Juju . This talented baker also moonlights as a middle school teacher.
Colorful pails of assorted candy.
And a very rich Cream Cheese Pound Cake, made by me! You can find the recipe for it here.
I put a lime sugar glaze on it, with some lime zest. I highly recommend this cake - it's absolutely delicious and easy to make.
The auction was a great success - many thanks to all who attended and all who made it such a fun event. You know who you are.
COMING SOON... a new look for Mignardise! Watch for my redesign - it'll still have the flavor of Mignardise, but with more elegance and charm. Check back soon!
