Yum! They all look delicious! When I did my party I served

Butternut Squash Lasagna (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/105911)
and
Pear and Gorgonzola Tart (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_36535,00.html)

I just discovered the most amazing salad! Baby Arugula or other baby greens tossed with a vinaigrette made of fresh lemon juice and olive oil, then topped with kosher salt, pepper, and some fresh shaved parmesan. The flavors are amazing -- the lettuce is tender, and the tang of the lemon plays perfectly against the buttery taste of the cheese. Do you have a Trader Joe's? I find the frozen haricot verts cooked with a little pancetta is a huge hit with everyone.

My cupcakes were the lemon, white chocolate with white chocolate frosting, and chocolate with salted caramel buttercream.

YUM.

That salad sounds GOOD. I'll have to make a salad for tomorrow.

MY CUPCAKES OVERFLOWED TONIGHT. It was SO SAD. Instead of scrapping the bunch, I crumbled them into a crust and topped them with a peanut butter creme mix and I'll drizzle chocolate on them tomorrow. BUT STILL. DRAMA.

And my pop overs didn't cook all the way though! ::Sads::

But my Lemon Ricotta biscuts were yum!

Speaking of cupcakes! When I was making cupcakes for my party I tried out this raspberry cupcake recipe -- I thought the pink raspberry cupcakes would be yummy with white chocolate icing.

WRONG. The cupcakes were SO BAD. There was obviously too much liquid in the recipe because the cakes didn't rise, and when they came out of the oven and cooled they just collapsed in on themselves. I ended up pitching them -- they were too soggy to even save as crumbs.

Oh! Lemon ricotta bisquits sound delicious!
