CAKE PLATTER || MASON JAR CENTERPIECE -
I have a thing for cake platters (One of my “good bones” decorating accessories) The original post featured mod podge and Epsom salt to make the frosted look. Last minute look - pour epsom salts, sugar or fake snow into jars, add lighting.

5. LAST MINUTE APPETIZER - CRANBERRY AND BRIE CROSTINI

6. LAST MINUTE GIFT - SPICED NUTS This one I can thank an old friend who made these for me years ago when we lived in San Francisco- we had backyard rosemary year round. I use pecans or walnuts, but feel free to use your nutty favorites, or what is in the pantry! Perfect for a hostess gift, this tried and true recipe is easy and fail proof.
