I love mint desserts. Really I enjoy all types of dessert. The other night, I decided was going to make these to take around to a few new families/couples that moved into our neighborhood and a couple friends. Once they were all frosted, I took them around. All were surprised that they were homemade and not from a bakery. I love when people {in general} think dishes/desserts look beautiful. There is so much to it all.
