It worked out fine. We baked some little muffin-top-sized chocolate souffles (easy on the second attempt) and put 'em in one of those hexagonal brocade folding boxes. And I walked over to the nursery to see what looked good, came away with a matched pair of cute little red pineapples wrapped in gold paper. The girls at the sales counter thought the pineapples were a good laugh, but they couldn't tell me why. Our hostess was fine with it all, so no great faux pas apparent.
