A couple of weeks ago I was telling you about the fun spa party I was hosting. Well, the party has happened and it was a success! We received cute pedicures & we ate delicious canapés with Boursin cheese. By the time we left, our bellies were too full for supper. Now that’s a sign of an irresistible appetizer bar!

As part of the Chatelaine Tasters & Testers, I received an “Irresistible Treat Box” filled with Boursin cheese coupons and other goodies. Boursin is made in Quebec with 100% Canadian milk and ingredients of choice. In this post, I’ll be giving away two “Irresistible Treat Boxes” to two lucky winners! You’ll find the giveaway entry form at the end of this post.

I wanted a warm inviting setup for the party so I went with a lot of white & gold colours with plenty of candles. One of the easiest ways to set a background for your party table is to cover foam boards with wrapping paper. It’s so easy to do and it’s really inexpensive!

Gold chargers were set on top of cake stands to hold the crackers, baguettes and meat. The Boursin cheese sat on a wooden serving tray with gold table knives. I love the way the aluminum corolla also acts as a serving dish! For the Boursin cheeses, I served Garlic & Herb, Cranberry & Pepper and Shallot & Chive. I also used the Red Chili Pepper Boursin cheese with chorizo sausage in the profiteroles. They were so tasty! Find out how to make profiteroles here.

Guests were invited to make their own Boursin canapés with the ingredients on the table like meats, baguettes, crackers, gourmet jams, champagne vinegar, and pickled beets. Everyone loved the food! The Boursin cheese has a delicious velvety smooth texture and I think it tastes great with just about everything! You delicately slice off a piece, lay it on your cracker or baguette and add the rest of your toppings. It’s a delicious way to take your appetizer bar from ordinary to extraordinary.

To finish off the table, I added paper gold plates, gold napkins, gold glasses and flowers in vases accented with gold ribbon. For drinks I served sparkling apple juice. I guess the juice got shook up in the vehicle on the way to the spa because when I tried to open it, the top popped open like a champagne bottle and juice sprayed into the air. It’s a good thing I brought two bottles with me!
