During march we had plenty of large catering jobs.
On March 5th we catered a Tea Party for about 80 ederly women . For this job we made orange- cranberry, and Lemon scones as well as 5 cups of lemon curd to dip them in. we also made 4 kinds of tea sandwiches: smoked salmon and cream cheese, mint and cucumber, curried egg salad, and chicken salad. We also made 4 kinds of cookies: chocolate mudlides, raspberry teacakes, lemon thumprints, and raspberry diamonds. The women were very satisfied with our dishes.
We were double booked for March 12!!
Our first job was to make desserts as well as the wedding cake for a local wedding at the Scotia Inn. For the desserts we made 250 lemon tarts with blueberries on top, and 250 cheesecake bars. the cake was a four teired cake. the bottom teir was chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling , the second was lemon with a lemon curd filling, and the top two were carrot with a cream cheese filling, all the cakes were frosted with a cream cheese icing . The cake was then decorated with a black ribbon around each teir and fresh flowers.
The second job was library day at the veterans hall in Fortuna. This was a buffet style dinner. We made pasta , and three different sauces: we made a marinara, a meat sauce , and a creamy pesto sauce. To go with the pasta we made garlic bread and a green salad. We also had two types of salad dressing : ranch and italian. For dessert we made berry slab pies, which is a pie made on a cookie sheet. Everything was so good that people were coming back for seconds.
All in all March is going great so far , even when we are strapped for time we still make amazing food...
