Outdoor Birthday Party

Today I was engaged for an outdoor birthday party in the South Park. South Park is a cozy  leisure open area with skating rink, snowmobiles, BBQ deck and  a snack bar. It's  a lovely  place indeed for  family picnic and noisy outdoors activity. We have been asked to organize sweet dessert for 12-years-old girl and her friends in that place.

It was supposed to be a surprise to kids. While they were riding a snowjet we adjusted a chocolate fountain with fruits and a special fountain with drinks in the bar. Photo of carving fruit display is attached. Need a good picnic idea? Picnicfood-ideas.com is all about BBQ!
