a request from a friend to do the graduation cake for their oldest son.... colors from the school plus a logo from Batman Beyond as a personal funny for the teen. It was a huge hit! :)
We have a Home Meal Replacement (HMR) personal chef service and this is one of the packaged meals. Pork tenderloin with a a cherry sauce and veggies.
Prepping for three more big events for the week... a birthday, a graduation and a wedding
Graduation party for a teen who is a vegetarian so we did veggie hors d'oeuvres and this lovely lemon cake with a lemon curd filling... I did the inside cake and curd and Aida (my boss) did the mascarpone frosting and decorating. I think she loves the creative stuff so I prep and she decorates a lot. I love working with her!
Here is a mango/cherry chutney I made for the event. I do most of the cold sauces and some of the more classic items when I can. I did a beurre blanc this week, too... it was yummy!!!
Thai Lettuce Wraps on Endive
a lovely sweet and sour sauce for dipping with the wontons
Mini fruit tarts with pastry cream and an apricot glaze
Potato and Pea Samosas with that chutney I made above
The wontons and sauce
Espresso Chocolate Diamonds with whipped cream and raspberries
a birthday party setup for an 80th birthday - 50 guests. We made everything except the cake on this one
Very busy week... in addition I did some gluten free items, too and got $100.00 in tips to boot! I worked the graduation and the birthday but not the wedding. The birthday and wedding were at the same time so I ran the birthday event. I loved it so much!!! It was a great week and now, to rest.
I have some family time this week and a birthday cake for my youngest to make.
