The desserts were imaginative and incredible. This photo features the shot glass parfaits, upscale s'mores served in wine glasses, a creamy chocolate-chocolate torte and an army of fresh baked gingerbread men.

It was almost too much to choose from. We also recommend trying the fruit and custard torte, the chocolate mousse-filled chocolate cups, the miniature chocolate cupcakes and the raspberry-chocolate boxes filled with fresh raspberry and more chocolate.

Gingerbread men

I love gingerbread men! :)
