2 weeks ago last Thursday at about 9:30 pm, we received an email from one of our clients requesting us to put together an Olaf-themed dessert table for her nephew who was turning 4. The party was on Saturday- in 3 days. Yikes! We immediately began the process of planning the menu, contacting the bakers, planning the serveware, the table decorations and the labels to be printed. But of course, we have access to bakers that have the ability to whip up treats quickly, and a process in place to get things done efficiently. But for others who do not have the support like we do, this post is for you.
When pressed for time, its always best to think practical. Plan for desserts that will surely be ready when you need it. What use is there to prepare fancy desserts that will take hours, and don't make it to the dessert table in time? Below are some dessert treat ideas for that last minute request for an Olaf-themed dessert table:
1) Olaf the snowman- with an ingredient list of graham crackers, frosting, marshmallows, licorice, orange slices, and some chocolate melts, the only thing left to do is to assemble these-it is easy and impressive.

2) Rice Krispy Treats-To make these just make your standard Rice Krispy treats recipe , and cut them into squares. Then, sprinkle them with blue sprinkles for blue treats or just melt blue candy melts (to lighten the blue color, mix a few pieces of white chocolate melts into the blue chocolate melts while melting) and dunk one side to the melted chocolate, and add white sprinkles. For white treats, dunk one side on melted white chocolate, and top with either coconut or white sprinkles for snow. QUICK AND EASY .
3) Marshmallow Snow Balls- For these, you will need lollipop sticks, giant marshmallows, white chocolate melts, and sprinkles or coconut flakes. You may use blue, white, or silver sprinkles. Just secure the marshmallow at the end of the stick, Dip in melted chocolate, and add the sprinkles or coconut flakes. Use a blue ribbon to decorate, if you wish.
4) Olaf Chocolate Bar- This just requires purchasing your favorite regular-sized chocolate bar and then wrapping them in Olaf-designed paper which need to be printed, cut, and secured with tape. Click on the wrapper file below to download and print. This is the same wrapper seen in the photo below.
