I
don't know about everyone else, but I LOVE tasting parties!! (Especially in the summer!!) They're a
great idea when you want to have the girls over for some cocktails and
appetizers because everyone can taste everything (hence the name)
without feeling guilty for over indulging! Check out these adorable mini
servers from pier one! They're perfect for light, airy desserts like
chocolate mousse or tiramisu!
