Simple Tip: Rim Champagne Flutes With Sugar

A couple of weeks ago FabSugar hosted a shopping event at Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco. The caterer of the party found a fun way to incorporate Sugar into the menu — they rimmed each of the champagne flutes with pretty pastel-colored sugar. The sugar wasn't flavored so it didn't affect the taste of the dry bubbly. This is a sweet way to incorporate color into a girlie party. Wouldn't Read more
