Feeling adventurous? Put on the rice cooker and have the girls over for a sushi party. You provide the rice, toppings, seaweed and bamboo rolling mats. Your guests bring the creativity. Hot tea, edamame, pot stickers and miso soup are perfect add-ons. And don’t forget the sake.
Crepe bar

It doesn’t get much sweeter than a crepe party. Offer guests a few types of crepes (plain, cinnamon and chocolate) and an assortment of fillings like Nutella, cream cheese, whipped cream, berries and bananas to make their own custom crepe creations.

Where there are girls, there must be chocolate. Serve up a warm, rich pot of melted chocolate and let guests dunk an assortment of fruit, salty pretzels and sweet pound cake in the fondue pot. If your get-together is at mealtime, serve a savory fondue option of bubbly cheese with vegetables, bread and meat. No double dipping!
Caramel apple bar

Move over, cake pops. It’s time for caramel apples on a stick. These apple wedges are a brilliant take on the traditional caramel apple. All you’ll need are a mug (for the melted caramel) and a muffin tin to display all the toppings, like cinnamon and sugar, mini marshmallows, chopped peanuts, graham cracker crumbles, chocolate chips and candy bar bits.
