      <description><![CDATA[<h1>New Year&rsquo;s Desserts</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Introducing New Year&rsquo;s desserts for your gorgeous white and silver themed <a title="New Year's Table" href="http://confetticouture.com/blog/new-years-table/">New Year&rsquo;s desserts table&hellip;</a></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>easy New Year&rsquo;s desserts menu</strong></span> can be done with homemade, or purchased desserts.  The idea is to keep it simply elegant, so you can enjoy the New Year&rsquo;s party too!  All of these desserts will store well, with exception of the cupcakes.  So, either make your <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s desserts</strong></span> ahead of time&hellip; or buy them already done.  You choose.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The New Year&rsquo;s desserts menu:<br /> </strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* White chocolate cupcakes<br />* Cake pops<br />* Meringue tarts with plum glaze<br />* Snowflake sugar cookie trees<br />* Vanilla bean marshmallows<br />* <a title="Gumdrop Recipe" href="http://confetticouture.com/blog/gumdrop-recipe" target="_self">Pomegranate gumdrops&nbsp;(recipe here!)</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>6 Stunning New Year&rsquo;s desserts, here&rsquo;s how to do it&hellip;</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>White chocolate cupcakes:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/blog_images/128_white_chocolate_cupcake_in_cupcake_wrapper.jpg" alt="White chocolate cupcake in cupcake wrapper" width="400" height="320" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We picked up our cupcakes on the day of the party.  Elegant and simple, with our desserts table set and ready to go, we just placed our desserts on the platters and were ready to party with the guests.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cake pops:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="White cake pops" src="/media/blog_images/128_cake_pops.jpg" alt="Elegant white cake pops" width="400" height="320" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These classy <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s desserts</strong></span> look like snowballs with the sprinkling of coarse sugar.  We displayed them in Sheer Elegance Sweet Petites, the new <a title="Cake Pop Kits" href="http://confetticouture.com/sweet-petite-kits.html" target="_blank">cake pop kit</a> by Confetti Couture.  The cake pops were super simple using this <a title="Babycakes cake pop maker" href="http://thebabycakesshop.com/products/cake-pop-makers/cp-12" target="_blank">cake pop maker,</a> so we created our own.  They are bite sized cake balls on a lollipop stick!  Dipped in white chocolate, they are deliciously coordinated.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meringue tarts:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/blog_images/128_meringue_tarts.jpg" alt="Meringue tarts" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take the elegance to new heights with these frothy egg whites slow baked to perfection and filled with a sweet and tart fruity glaze.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Snowflake sugar cookies:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/blog_images/128_snowflake_sugar_cookies.jpg" alt="Snowflake sugar cookies" width="400" height="320" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We created these beauties ourselves, too.  Gorgeous stacks of white snowflakes create pretty snow covered &ldquo;trees&rdquo; on our <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s desserts table.</strong></span> Sugar cookies freeze well, so you can make them far in advance, and even frost them, too.  Just pull them out a couple hours before your <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s party</strong></span> and let them thaw unwrapped.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Marshmallows:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a title="Wooden lollipop sticks with ball" href="http://confetticouture.com/cake-pop-kits/6-inch-sweet-stickz-25.html" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Marshmallow pops sticks" src="/media/blog_images/128_homemade-marshmallows.jpg" alt="Homemade marshmallows" width="400" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a title="Marshmallow recipe" href="http://thebabycakesshop.com/products/cake-pop-makers/cp-12" target="_blank">marshmallows</a> are also homemade on our <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s desserts</strong></span> table.  They are truly, so easy to make.  They can be bought this way, too.  We used Sweet Stickz, <a title="Wooden lollipop sticks with ball" href="http://confetticouture.com/wooden-lollipop-sticks-retail.html" target="_blank">wooden lollipop sticks</a> from Confetti Couture, to display them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pomegranate Gumdrops (see the recipe <a title="Gumdrop recipe" href="http://confetticouture.com/blog/gumdrop-recipe" target="_self">here</a>):</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/blog_images/128_pomegranate_gumdrops.jpg" alt="Pomegranate gumdrops" width="320" height="400" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, you could buy these, but we wanted to have perfectly fresh, elegantly flavored pomegranate gumdrops!  So, we made these, too.  Yes, we are a teensy bit particular about the details on our <span style="color: #808000;"><strong>New Year&rsquo;s desserts display!</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
