Sweet Idea: Pie on a Stick

Pies are fabulous, but mini pies that are mess-free and don't require a plate and fork are sublime. These are great for a dessert table or party, because they're so low-maintenance. Keep your crusts traditional or cut out cute shapes. You can even get creative with the display or wrap the pies in ribbon-tied cellophane for guests to take home.

DIY Pie Pop Favors

Any time you can take a traditional dessert and make it tiny, it immediately becomes exponentially more enticing. These mini pie pops from Borrowed and Bleu are an easy DIY that would make a big impression. Just imagine these cuties at a small family gathering. Each guest could get their own little piece of flaky perfection...on a stick!

You can check out the full recipes and tutorial here, and the best part is that you pre-made pie crusts from the freezer section. Yeah, it might not be as impressive as making them from scratch, but it makes tackling the project more attainable if you're short on time.

Dessert Table: A Blast From the Past

This dessert table looks yummy, and honestly, what dessert table doesn't? But it's made even more delicious by the way it was shot. The lighting in each shot makes the food look like it's part of a yellowed, dog eared vintage poster. Couldn't you just imagine finding these images in the attic in a dusty, old shoebox?

This casually-arranged display was created by Sweet and Saucy Shop, and the pie pops, candy apples, and chocolate cakeballs all compliment the homey look of the buttercream-frosted, heart-topped cake.

Those little pie pops appear to be growing from a planter lined with Spanish moss. What wonder what seeds you have to plant to make that garden grow. Yum! Which treat is your favorite?

Have a great weekend!
