What could be a better companion for a Golden Girls themed bachelorette party than a cheesecake dessert bar complete with oodles of toppings to delight everyone's taste buds? Did you know that over 100 cheesecakes were consumed over the course of 7 seasons of The Golden Girls? I can't think of a better way to work through life's daily problems than to nosh on the delicious treat with my girlfriends!

Head outside to a well-ventilated area to spray paint a fanned palm leaf from the Faux Palm with Gold Accents Garland gold.

Download and print the free printable toppings labels, found here, onto white cardstock. Using scissors or a 2" punch, cut each of the labels. We provided pre-filled labels with traditional toppings, but also provided blank labels to write in additional favorites.

Cut several 1 1/2" strips from a Carnival Fiesta Beverage Napkin. You will need one strip per Clear Condiment Bottle that will hold sauces to drizzle onto the cheesecake.

Wrap each of the Clear Condiment Bottles with the strip of napkin. Apply a small line of hot glue to adhere the napkin to itself and then trim any excess. Next, use hot glue to add the drizzle labels to the bottles and the toppings labels to 4" lollipop sticks.

Add a small dot of hot glue to the end of each of the palm's leaves to attach it to the back of a Clear Acrylic Sign. If you have a cutting machine, use the Keep Calm and Eat Cheesecake file here to cut the wording onto pink adhesive vinyl. If you do not have a cutting machine, simply download and print the cheesecake printable here and then lay the printable behind the acrylic sign before adhering the palm leaf to the back. Using a pink broad tip paint marker, trace over each letter. Let the paint dry and then repeat.

Finally, add toppings, such as strawberries, raspberries, chocolate chips, to Small White Angled Bowls and Mini Clear Appetizer Bowls. Carefully fill each of the Clear Condiment Bottles with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce for drizzling. Arrange the sign and toppings around a plain cheesecake on your dessert table and invite guests to create their own flavors!
