Coffee Desserts Made for a Mother’s Day Tea

For Mother’s Day, we will be creating a coffee-themed dessert menu. Think about how exciting and unique a menu centered around desserts made from coffee will be. From macarons made from espresso to layers of cake made from coffee, we will have a dazzling menu. Each coffee dessert will be infused with hints of other desserts inspired by coffee to make sure that all of our desserts have a sparkle of fancy playfulness. While we stay focused on desserts brought to our gathering, we will be creating an unforgettable and warm Elizabethan era inspired menu of desserts by bringing a coffee shop to our gathering.

1. Decadent Coffee Tiramisu Cups

The coffee tiramisu cups will be a special, spin on a popular dessert. Each cup will contain three layers of whipped cream cheese (which is what will make it unique) and espresso soaked lady finger cookies.

Each tiramisu cup will come with a disposable spoon that we will be providing for easy sipping, and they will be perfect for a tea party.
