Pretty Brunch Spread for Mothers Day

I had so much fun cooking, baking, and setting up a gorgeous spread for my family for Mothers day! My mom loved it SO much she has asked me to cater a few events she is hosting (with pay of course) =) I guess I will add that to another hat that I wear!

Anyways, as promised, photos of my spread. I have included step by step photos of the trifle, as I thought it was the most fun to make! (no it wasnt the fact that I got to keep licking sugar free whip cream off my hands....or...ehh...maybe!)

Hope your mothers day was just as beautiful and wonderful!

ENJOY!

 

The table set up- theme was yellow & pink. I had a dual-sided table runner made on Etsy that cost only $15! It was so pretty! I am using the other side this weekend =)

 

Pink peonies (they were a challenge to find, not to mention expensive but they are one of my favorite flowers!), two pink garden roses, one white garden rose, and a stem of white hydrangea

Raspberry Scone Set up

                                        Cantelope & strawberry salad with yogurt & mint

 

             Homemade lemon & mint tea                            
                                                                                             

 

Sauteed brussel sprouts & egg casserole  

 

Peach Mason jar sangria

                                                      Bacon wrapped Figs                                                     

 

First use of my Trifle Dish i got as a wedding gift! (FINALLY!)

Took half the marscapone cheese & whipped cream mixutre and added 1 drop of red food coloring to make pink! Other half i left white

 

Seedless raspberry jam preserves with 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed OJ & orange liquor

The other half of the white-- fresh whipped cream (with splenda) and marscapone cheese

Layer with lady fingers then jam, then cheese mixture (white & pink) then raspberries

 

Repeat until all ingredients are gone

 

Whoila! Homemade raspberry low sugar trifle! It was delicious too!

(Hint-- next time i would make it the night before so the cookies can sit and soak up all that goodness. It was almost twice as good when i had a few bites yesterday....oops! ha!)
