I am the new Enrichment Night Board Leader in our ward, and I am in charge of our Relief Society birthday social/dinner. For the main course we are having Chicken with Garlic Sauce (delectable!), Parslied Potatoes, a small salad bar, and dinner rolls. I have divvied out a lot of the dinner work among ladies in the ward. But I am very fussy about my desserts not only being delicious, but also delightful to behold; I am making the dessert bar. But I can't decide just which desserts I want to make.

Should I go with the "Delectably Rich" menu of:

  • White Chocolate Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate Ganache Topping
  • Raspberry Trifle
  • Lemon Meringue Pie
  • Strawberry Bouquets (which would have the chocolate-dipped strawberries--like I did for Valentine's Day and some delightful hand-made, soft candies that look like strawberries)

Or should I go for the "Chocolate Decadence" menu of:

  • White Chocolate Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate Ganache Topping
  • Chocolate Cake/Ice-Cream Roll, with Raspberry Sauce (although I haven't decided whether to use chocolate ice-cream, or vanilla. I'm thinking probably vanilla.)
  • Chocolate Mousse Pie with Mint Whipped Cream
  • Strawberry Bouquets (which would have the chocolate-dipped strawberries--like I did for Valentine's Day and some delightful hand-made, soft candies that look like strawberries)

I haven't heard from the Relief Society presidency as to their preference. But they seem to trust me implicitly. The party is March 10. Which menu would you choose?

Ok, Loralee-in all your HOURS and hours of spare time ;-), you need to post the recipes for these desserts! And I'd love to know the recipes for your RS dinner, too. They sound yummy! Do you have a recipe for new potatoes in a sour cream/white sauce? I've been looking for one and haven't found what I want. Love you!
