Catering Chronicles – Food for Thought

No need for a campfire to enjoy this holiday. Here is our take on the ever-popular camping treat… a S’more on a stick. Graham Crackers filled with Marshmallow Cream and dipped in Chocolate. Still a childhood favorite. ENJOY!

Patriotism isn’t something that only arrives a few times a year. It is woven into each American that is grateful for their freedoms. Holidays however, are a great reminder of the sacrifices made. Something about red, white, and blue, and our American flag conjures up thoughts of family and celebration. I often forget the primary colors when weddings are discussed. Most would say they are not romantic… I beg to differ.

I had the opportunity to create a styled photoshoot, along with an incredible cast of professionals, for one of THE most amazing photographers, MIKE COLÓN. The inspiration board was created by Kat Harris and we ran with her vision of Americana. Designer Specialty Linens created,  out of many patterns, the beautiful linens that adorned the tables and chairs. Not to mention pillows! French Buckets as usual exceeded expectations bringing in pops of color, wildflowers and antique accents. Touches of old fashioned paper from Typeologie and Co, and of course Jay’s fabulous food. Gorgeous Caramel Apples and Patriotic Pies accented by our Wedded Bliss cocktail dressed with a cherry. Notice we didn’t stop with the table, we also created a picnic, incorporating all of those traditional favorites, like watermelon, Coke and Kobe Beef Sliders.

Okay, enough talking… if Mike’s photo’s don’t get you to stand up and sing God Bless America, I don’t know what will. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THESE PHOTOS. Happy day after Fourth of July! ENJOY!

Thank you to everyone involved. It was such an amazing shoot. If you want to see more. Check out yesterday’s feature on Style Me Pretty.

It’s not too late to add a few sweet treats to your Easter celebration. Here are a few of this year’s favorites: cute little Chicky Lollicakes, Mini Easter Egg Cakes, Coconut Nest Cupcakes, Spring Posy Cupcakes, Lamb and Bunny Mini Egg Cakes, and Easter Sugar Cookies. These sweet little gems are not only super cute, they are very YUMMY!

With Valentines Day a week away, our bakers are preparing some pretty and tasty little treats. From bavarian cream filled cupcakes to chocolate dipped heart shaped brownies, we have something for every taste. Need something to please your office mates? Try one of our Sweet Treat Trays with an assortment of decorated little bites… or a tray full of conversation heart sugar cookies. If you are looking for decadent romance, try our chocolate dipped strawberries. Available in dark, milk, and white chocolate. Lastly… I had to add my favorite cookie. Cheesy? YES. However, I LOVE the “Marry me” cookie. Curious to see how many of these will go out this year.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. What are you giving to your Valentine? Our friends at French Buckets have put together this cute little Tea Cup arrangement for the tea lover. Pretty posies sweetly placed in a tea cup and saucer. Your choice of colors. You can even add a dozen or half of our sweet little French Macarons. Both come in a beautiful box with a handmade paper wrap and a sparkly valentine gift tag. Different and artistically thoughtful. To get more info or place an order, contact French Buckets.
