So lately in my spare time I have been hired to do some catering. Mostly desserts, and I have really been enjoying it! First I did a baby shower back in May. I was asked to do the main lunch, and then a dessert table for 30 people. That was why I had been practicing this beautiful ruffle cake:
This cake definitaly takes some practice, buts actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it! It is my most favorite cake that I am making right now! And the most requested!
So for the baby shower I made this dessert table. I made 3 different kinds of truffles, a lemon Ruffle cake and 36 cupcakes. I made half chocolate with raspberry mousse filling and the other half were Red Velvet with chocolate mousse!
lemon Ruffle cake
the cupcakes
all of the cupcakes had some sort of cute fondant flower or something girly-ish on them. I absolutely LOVED the way they turned out!
this was my favorite cupcake
they all turned out so pretty. it was my first time using fondant for a catered event.
Then in the middle of June I was hired to make desserts for a western themed birthday party. I was asked to make enough to serve about 75 people. I made a large dessert table, but was still setting up the table as people came so I didn't get a shot of the whole table, or even all the desserts I made, but here's some of the pictures I did get.
The Ruffle cake
chocolate cake layered with Nutella and strawberries... it was so good!
It wasn't meant to feed every body, they just wanted a birthday cake out for display!
part of the table, not everything is visible and it does not do the table justice!
Nutella cake pops- I loved how the cute bows turned out. They really helped them look western!
Lemon cake pops
Truffles
Raspberry mousse trifles, super cute with the trendy wooden spoon attached!
peppermint mini cupcakes
I had also made red velvet mini cupcakes and 2 different kinds of french macarons. I made raspberry marscapone and since it wasn't an LDS birthday party, coffee french macarons. These pictured are ones I made a while back, not the ones I used for the party but you get the idea. They are the raspberry marscapone ones! yum!
