Over the past three years, our ladies group has hosted a brunch to raise funds for missions. Gorgeous tables are decorated by the most creative ladies on the Prairie. Then, after you've eaten delicious food, enjoyed great conversation by those seated near you. . . it's time to visit the dessert bar. Divine desserts!
This year, I wanted so desperately to take my Caramel Apple Cake. . .but one of the requirements of the dessert was that it must have elegance ! So~o~o. . . I took a Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake topped with whipped cream, rasperries and white chocolate!
Simply divine!
First, I stated with my crystal cake stand purchased in Germany.
Simply elegant with frosted rose bud handles!
A purchased Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake as the basis of this divine dessert!
A container of Extra Creamy Cool Whip!
A small container of fresh raspberries!
One square of Baker's Premium White Chocolate!
. . .and about 10 ~ 15 minutes of preparation time!
After placing the cheesecake atop the crystal cake stand, I swirled on the whipped topping and added the raspberries!
Next, came the grated, curled white chocolate!
That's all there was to making this divine dessert!
One Divine Dessert to go. . .
Divine dessert, indeed!
For ladies, this is all I brought home!
Until next time. . .
Oh honey! That is one divine looking dessert and EASY!!!! I think the Caramel Apple Cake would have been elegant (at least to me) I LOVE anything apple! Thanks for the tip to use a store bought cheesecake and just embellish it! XO, Pinky We are going out in a little while with our daughter and SIL for Joe's b-day dinner!

ReplyDeletePat, it looks fantastic and sounds sooooooooo delicious. I love the addition of the whipped cream, chocolate and berries. I am sure everyone enjoyed it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletePat I can't get over how you up-graded the cake you bought -- so clever, I need to try that more often. It does look deliciously elegant! Good for you! So sorry for your hubby that there was nothing to bring home!
ReplyDeleteDear Ones,
ReplyDeleteThere was no Divine Dessert left~over for "Mr. Ed"; however I did bring him my cinnamon roll from the brunch. . . neatly wrapped in a white napkin. He said, "It was divine"!
Fondly,
Pat
The cheesecake looks very pretty! I'm sure it was a big hit:@)

ReplyDeletePat, This is my kind of dessert! I call anything that is partially store box "doctor the box"! I LOVE when we can take shortcuts and just embellish it to be over-the-top! Great post!!!
