In the age of socially distant and drive-by parties, the way we once celebrated is a total no-no, and for good reason! No one wants to eat from a fondue fountain that may have been subject to double dipping. But your nephew’s bar mitzvah, your aunt’s retirement and Grandparents’ anniversary can’t (and shouldn’t!) be put on hold just because the way we once entertained is a thing of the past.
So how can you serve cake and (safely) eat it too? Individual desserts all the way!
Below you’ll find 32 irresistible desserts that’ll make any celebration special. And don’t forget to put these cute confections in to-go containers! You can find a list of great container options here.
