Sweet potatoes were also uncommon then and although there were cranberries, there was no sugar available to make a sweet cranberry sauce!
Pumpkin pie is as synonymous with Thanksgiving as the turkey and IGMA Fellow Betsy Niederer makes this miniature look as good as the "real" thing! MiniAcquoline has a pumpkin table with a variety of pumpkins all ready to be turned into pies!
Or to make a change from this sweet orange dessert, a delightful and colourful gemmy raspberry tart like this one from IGMA Arisan Sandra Palesch would be a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving table!
But why not make a complete change from the traditional Thanksgiving desserts and try a deliciously decadent chocolate fountain with fruits and marshmallows to dip in the rich chocolate sauce? The children would love you for it - not to mention the chocoholic adults in the family! Courtney Strong manages to get incredible detail in her oh-so-tiny ¼ scale, four-tiered chocolate fountain and accompaniments.
