Taco Garnish

Now this is creative. I've seen crazy garnishes for Bloody Mary's but not too many other cocktails. Until now. This will get and keep your guests talking.

Taco Cupcake

How cute are these guys. Taco's are not just savory. With a little skill, you can turn wafer cookies into a taco garnish for cupcakes or any range of desserts. Think ice cream, cakes or even solo.

Traditional Paper Flowers

These are so festive and who knew so easy to make. Paper flowers are a traditional party decor in Mexico. They are sol colorful and can brighten up any room or table.

New Hat Trick

I love this idea for a creative serving platter. Now that I think about it, you could do the same thing with a wide brimmed beach hat for a brunch or similar party.

Easy To Eat Street Corn

Street corn is so good. This seems like a less messy way to enjoy the festive food. You could even use small ramekins to cut down on waste.
