MY LITTLE HELPERS. THANKS GUYS!Last week I catered a Christmas party for my aunt and had a blast. Here is a list of what I served.
Appetizers: Panko Breaded Shrimp, Assorted Savory Puff Pastry Bites, Teriyaki Meatballs, Thai Lettuce cups served in Crisp Wantons, Assorted Crudites Tray, Cheese & Honeycomb Tray and a Mozzarella & Tomato topiary.
Desserts: Mini Peanut Butter Kiss Cupcakes, Mini Pina Colada Cupcakes, Carnegie Deli Cheesecake w/ Fresh Strawberries, Cranberry Banana Bread, Gingerbread Men Cookies and a Croquembouche (Cream puff topiary).
Drinks: Classic Christmas Cranberry punch, Orange & Cranberry Infused Water and Hot Wassel.
Some of the items were pre-made but I made a majority of the items from scratch. My poor oven was going non stop but I really enjoyed all the baking and cooking. Also a big thanks to Maile who filled and frosted 200 cupcakes and decorated all of the gingerbread men and Suzette for making the mozzarella topiary. Everything turned out exactly how I envisioned it.
