Drum Roll, Drum Roll Please......

Cappuccino Mousse Trifle
If anyone is interested in making this, it's super easy & no baking.
You can find the recipe here.
I used milk chocolate chips because it is difficult to grate the chocolate!!!!

I made these lovely deserts for a bbq/party at Chuck's sister's house.
She is my sister-in-love!!!
We are saying goodbye to Chuck's brother Patrick.
He is in the Coast Guard and leaving for Kuwait on Friday.


Here's The Family......
So many of us are missing but seeing these guys is always wonderful!!!
Pat's the handsome one......back row, blue shirt, by the window!!!!


Patrick, on the left......
Pat, we love you and are so very proud of you.
It was amazing to see you last night.
Thank you so much for all your very kind and tender words.

I gave Pat a beautiful red, white and blue quilt that my new friend Nancy made,
he loved it!!!

Everything looks yummy. Love the chocolate cupcakes. Sound like you gave Patrick a "sweet" send off. I am so grateful to our young men and women for the jobs they tackling. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

Oh mercy! I am day dreaming about your goodies! (But, I'll try to contain myself and stick with my diet!) :)

That's a good looking bunch. Be safe, Patrick. God bless you!

Oh my! I believe you should own a bakery. Your goods would sell very quickly. Look at those gorgeous dessert creations! Absolutely mouth watering. I see you are a master with the frosting decorating bag. Thanks for sharing a few of your decadent recipes! Marvelous!

Beautiful family!

Nancy said...

Everything looks delicious, Debbie. I wish Patrick well and that he returns soon.

Insert iPhone into mouth.... Yup still tastes like I phone. Darn. Though it would be chocolate or buttery goodness. These look delish!

Lisa Gordon said...

Oh my goodness, everything looks so yummy Debbie!

Wishing Patrick the best, and saying thank you.

Susan said...

LOL, at first as I started to read your post I was thinking "oh what a temptress you are - all that lovely food... don't look, remember I'm dieting - blah blah".
Then I continued reading. The occasion absolutely deserved all the sweet home-cooked lovingly served dishes you could muster.
Well done Debbie :D)

Debbie said...
