parfaits are sexy

desserts are sexy, really, sweets are way sexier than savory foods. afterall, they dont say chocolate is an aphrodisiac for nothing. anyhow, champagne is also sexy, which is perhaps why champagne flutes look sexy. long, lean, and bubbly. yum. now can you imagine how sexy desserts are in champagne flutes? yes. i found out with parfaits in champagne flutes. and they look so long and sleek. yum. and sexy.

i made some parfaits and placed them in long champagne flutes. parfaits are relatively easy to make. you just take fruits, cool whip, pudding, some cakey- substance, layer, and repeat to your own liking. i had blackberries, strawberries, and bananas on hand, so i used those fruits. then used my blueberry bundt cake recipe and substituted strawberries instead of the blueberries to keep the strawberry theme going. i made mini muffins that were almost perfect in size for my champagne flutes. then layered pudding and coolwhip. some had more cake than others, some had more berries than others. i like the easy variation and the vibrant colors of this dessert. the bright colors made me feel as if i were on vacation, hence the tropical-esque pictures. and its very simple and fun to make. definitely a relaxing way to relieve the workweek stress. i really cant wait until summer comes in full bloom.

oh speaking of summer weather, this dessert is bikini friendly. yes yes i know - how do i do it? sometimes i ask myself the same question. [the hubris is self-mocking.]

bon appetit!
