A great dessert is the sweet ending to any party, the final impression your guests will go home with, so choosing the right dessert and adding your own touch of elegance is truly the icing on the cake.

Fine Living entertaining experts Michele Adams and Gia Russo (aka Migi Girls) give us simple and creative ways on dessert service:

• For birthdays and showers, the traditional must-serve dessert is usually cake. Dress up a bakery cake with your own creative flair.

• Brownies can be made from a store-bought mix.
  They can easily be made more elegant by adding chocolate chips or topping with crushed cocoa powder espresso beans.

• Or get creative and surprise your guests with something even more original? Try a chocolate fondue or adult sundaes with liqueur toppings. Then send your guests home with sweet memories of a great time.

• Even store-bought cookies and fruit are a sweet way to bring your guests together. It's all in the presentation.
