Trifles are a great dessert as they can be made ahead of time, serve a crowd, and make a wonderful presentation.  Include trifles in your Christmas holiday dessert recipes.  Two favorite trifle recipes are the  Red Velvet Berry Trifle from Holly’s arthritis cookbook and Chocolate Peanut Butter Trifle from KITCHEN 101.

Candied Pecan Brie is one of my favorite Brie dessert party menuDecorations can be budget friendly by taking advantage of glitz and glitter using gold ornament balls of different sizes, cream colored assorted arranged candles and gold napkins, netting, and accessories. These decorations are part of the dessert party menu.
