A Tart Tasting

One of my favorite events as a caterer is the Wedding Tasting.

It is one of the few marital preparations that is purely pleasurable,

and when a bride and groom want to throw out tradition for a more uniquely tailored option 

I'm even more giddy!

Megan and Keith chose a carnival-theme for their spring wedding, 

and once we chatted I knew pie was the perfect fit!

To make things even better, we opted for individual His & Hers tarts 

in a variety of mouth-watering flavors...

 Featured Tart Flavors

Creamy Mascarpone w/ Balsamic Strawberries

Honeyed-Caramel Blackberry Lattice

Fresh Strawberry w/ Kiwi Curd

Salty Hazelnut & Chocolate Truffle

Something for the Winter Blues...

I am enamored with countless things culinary, and a Ruby Red grapefruit sits at the top of my list.  

Nothing breaks up the winter monotony like these delicious scones...

A tender crumb

rippled with streaks of rosy fruit,

and dusted in crunchy, sweet-tart citrus sugar!

Perfect for a casual tea with friends or tucked into dainty boxes as favors for a grand celebration!

We don't know a soul who won't swoon when it comes to macarons,

so best prepare your fainting couch for these Autumn beauties!

Featured Flavor

Just Peachy

One of the best things in life, in our opinion, is a change of season and the 

new and exciting flavors that come with it.

Not to mention having access to local growers 

that proudly share softball-sized peaches that are so good you could cry.

This trifle looks beautiful on a dessert table, 

and is the perfect candidate for an impressive individual dessert.

Sweet Travels

I got together with several amazing ladies in my neighborhood a while ago for 

a travel-inspired dinner and program.

For dessert I contributed this little beauty-

A moist and delicious red velvet cake disguised 

as just another well-worn carry-on.

Road trip anyone?
