Miniature Sorbet Cakes
For a cold and refreshing dessert, give each guest a miniature wedding cake molded from sorbet, a palate cleanser. For a sweet decoration, the bride's and groom's initials are piped in chocolate along the edge of each plate, and the sorbet "cake" is garnished with raspberries.

Ice cream cups
Ice cream without a cone is like jelly without peanut butter: It's great on its own but tastes so much better with its classic companion. Now guests can enjoy a drip-free ice cream cone with these delightful -- and delicious -- waffle cups. For a lick of extra visual punch, match the flavor of ice cream or sorbet to your color scheme.

Freezing Tips
A standard tip for freezing ground foods or thick sauces in small portions is to first put the food into a large freezer bag and press it out as flat as possible, eliminating air pockets. (Making it thin speeds up defrost time due to the increased surface area, and pressing out excess air guards against freezer burn.) Use a long chopstick or ruler to create divisions within the food, forming individual portions. This way when you freeze the entire bag, you’ll be able to quickly break off just as much as you want to use, no more.

Family Photo Shoot ideas
Family Photo Shoot Secrets:
Don’t stress about dress Whether you’re going for a traditional or casual look, rule number one is leave the busy holiday patterns for holiday pajamas. If family members are wearing clashing colors, black-and-white photography is flattering for everyone and pairs well with modern, fun and classic card styles. Look like yourselves and you’ll be happiest with the outcome.
Go for variety Family photo portraits can be flat—so sit, stand and kneel to energize the shot. Have parents sit and kids stand. Make a pyramid. Better yet, get the shot of trying to make the pyramid. That just could be the one.
Lighten up If you’re shooting indoors try to forego the flash by flooding the house with natural or artificial light. The flash on a camera can sometimes produce a harsh and cold effect—not to mention red-eye. On the flip side, if you’re taking pictures outside, use the flash. The extra burst of light helps even out shadows. Wherever you’re shooting, be sure the main light source is behind the photographer.
Tighten the frame Capture the playfulness of the holidays with close-ups of kids and pets. There’s nothing better than a big doggie nose or giggly siblings jockeying to be front and center. Also, make good use of the Shutterfly editing tools to crop your pictures just right.
Shooting spree Take dozens of pictures to get the one shot where everyone is wide-eyed and happy and shoot between shots to capture candid, fun and unexpected moments. Just be sure to bring extra batteries and media storage if your family photo shoot is on location.
