Weddings...

                    shortly after we did our cupcake sale we were hired to cater a wedding in Blue Lake. The wedding was to be at the Blue Lake Fire Department with a guestlist of eighty people. For this wedding's appetizers we made deviled eggs, bread with spinich dip , puff pastry tarts with rasted tomatoes and pesto, and platers of fruit , cheese, and crackers.After we finished with the appetizers we bagan serving dinner which consisted of ; a green salad with pomegranite seeds, cucumbers, candied walnuts, and the choice of ranch dressing or a balsamic vinegrette, we offered roasted asperagus, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, barbequed chicken, and barbequed tri tip. After dinner was served , and everyone loved it, we bagan serving the wedding cake which was a red velvet cake with creamcheese icing .It had three tiers and was decorated with a capochino colored ribon on each tier and then had hunter green icing embelishment around the sides of each tier. We topped off the cake with a small bunch of flowers and sent it out. All in all the wedding was a success as well as all of the food.

CUPCAKE ATTACK!!!

                 For halloween this year we decided to do a cupcake sale of four different flavors of cupcakes. The first one was a chocolate cupcake with a chocolate buttercream icing and a chocolate spiderweb on top. The second was a confetti cupcake with a vanilla buttercream icing and a fondant ghost on top. The third was a banana cupcake with a caramel buttercream icing and a caramel corn topper. The last cupcake was a pumpkin spice cupcake with a creamcheese icing with a marzipan pumpkin on top.
               When we started this sale we figured we would sell about two hundred cupcakes . We figured we had sold them at a kind of high price of two dollars a peice or twenty dollars for a dozen, boy did we underestimate how much people love cupcakes. We sold five-hundred and seventy-eight cupcakes. Our batters were made in some of the biggest batches we have ever done, And they turned out fabulous!! Everyone loved them and they tasted great. By the end of the sale all of our cupcakes got delivered and we made a profit of eight-hundred dollars.
