30 Year Wedding Anniversary Party

On May 31, my husband's parents celebrated their 30th Wedding Anniversary! To celebrate their anniversary we hosted a dinner party. I made pink and white desserts since his mom's wedding colors were white with touches of pink.

I used pink satin fabric to create a small table runner for the dessert bar.

I choose white lilies and pink peonies for the floral arrangements. I like the flower market at Whole Foods; they have a large assortment of flowers year round and the flowers are reasonably priced.

For dinner we served Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa recipe of Chicken with 40 Cloves and for dessert I made large vanilla cupcakes with white buttercream icing and mini vanilla cupcakes with pink buttercream icing. Both cupcakes are topped with small fondant flowers I made the day before the party. Additionally, I made sugar cookies shaped like wedding cakes, sugar cookies topped with their wedding picture and pink cake truffles (or cake "pops" as Bakerella calls them)!
