1) no cookies
2) no cupcakes
2) no brownies

Fruit salad with cream or any fruit yoghurt over. Light and healthy

that if you die, they weep over you

Muhammad al-Baqir said: On the Day of Resurrection, a pavilion of fire will be made in which the supporters of the oppressors will be put, and nails of iron will be made for them scratching with it beginning with their hearts. So they will say: Our Lord, did we not worship You? He said: So He will say: Yea, however you were supporters for the oppressors.
Against all secular Ba`athi tyrants - yes, that includes Bashar and his father.

Bismehe Ta3ala,
Sister Zahra,
Why don't you try Rizb haleeb or Rice pudding? Get some nice rose water, and the basics, and it's nice and easy. Show us the dessert you decide to make.

We call ourselves shias. But is there anything we learn from the modesty of the ladies of kerbala ?....Dr Aale Syed
assalam 3la fatimah wa abeha wa b3leha wa baneeha wa sir al moustoud3ee feeha, rouhe elakum al feda2.
الهي كفى بي عزّا أن أكون لك عبدا ، وكفى بي فخرا أن تكون لي ربّا... أنت كما أُحبُّ ، فاجعلني كما تحبُّ اللهم عجل لوليك الفرج يا الله
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him.. for then it costs nothing to be a patriot".Mark Twain

Okay folks, loved all the suggestions. I am making a single batch of baklava and kanafa (standard) but I wanted to add in something extra for those who don't like those choices. I am going to use Enlightened's idea of jelly but I want to do a layer of pink custard, a layer of sliced fruit (strawberry and banana) and a layer of yellow jelly. How do I prevent the layers from blending??

Allow each layer to set (put it in the fridge till it becomes solid) before you add the next layer, and so on.

I was hoping there was a shortcut
I didn't want it to have to take so long! Guess I should head back into the kitchen

Can you speed it up by putting it in the freezer?

Apprently its better to mix the jelly with ice cold water as opposed to actually putting it in the freezer.. But I've never tried either so I'm not sure

Basbosa is SO GOOD and really easy to make >> there r like million recipes, but my fav is the one with tohiniah bottom gives it a great texture
mini cheese cake (they r great for serving) this recipe looks pretty good: http://bakingbites.c...ni-cheesecakes/
or aseedah (very traditional for Ramadan)

Thank you ladies for all the amazing ideas and appetizing pictures! I ended up going with a raspberry tart using a custard base because the custard pictures looked so lovely 
I was too busy running around to take pictures but inshAllah if/when my friend emails them to me I will post them up! The whole dinner was wonderful. InshAllah you ladies have a blessed Ramadan.
Edit: I did make the jelly/custard/fruit combo but my brother ended up eating a few of them for sahoor so they were rendered useless
