The Menu

So basically I just need a place to write out my thoughts on this 1st birthday party shindig. I *think* I have the menu and dessert table planned out, so here goes

Lunch:
White Bean Chicken Chili -PW's recipe of course! Like I would use anyone elses? I think not!
Corn bread muffins
Punch -Undecided here on what kind, suggestions are welcome!

Dessert Table:
Candy Dipped Marshmellows
Yogurt covered raisens - a healthy option for the wee ones
Green Jellybeans
Lime Meringue cookies
Cupcakes

Okay so I feel like the dessert table lacks something, I just don't know what else to add. I was thinking of making some whoopie pies I saw on Bakerella's blog. Cake pops are out for me, I have tried doing them once, big fat FAIL! I know I need to keep it somewhat simple and don't need a lot. But I just want it to go off without a hitch, I want it perfect. And I don't want to look back and say "oh I wish I would have had that on the dessert table, or served that with lunch." And how stupid do I sound right now? Okay okay, I need to chill a bit. It's just a first birthday party, but then again he will only turn 1 once.

I think what you may feel are missing is something with some scale to balance the small things on your table or something with some height? Like a lolliop or maybe if you put those moon pies on a stick? Actually, that's a cool idea...may use it for one of my parties! Or some larger sugar cookies on a stick? Those are pretty easy to do and always have an ooh aah factor. ;) The decorated cookie at http://www.chiccookiekits.blogspot.com/ has great tutorials and neat cookie ideas.
