1 day agoThe Best Holiday Party Is a Dessert Party
Set up a table of stunning pies, cakes and pastries for the most wonderful time of year. For centuries, sugar flowed into cakes and pastries only on rare occasions, and the holidays were the season for elaborate buche de Noel, panettone and gingerbread houses. In this age of daily little treats, it's harder to capture the same awe that must've accompanied once-a-year confections. But this dessert table absolutely does. It evokes the abundance of Renaissance still-life paintings, with updated takes on European classics and modern creations inspired by flavors from across the globe.
