Friday afternoon last week I set out to enter the big wild world of catering. I had gotten a request to make a meal for not just a normal graduation party, but a double one! It was going to be themed after the Brazilian style of a Churrasco mixed with traditional American Barbeque. I was pretty excited...until I started stringing the last leg of the veggie kabobs, my chocolate cake fell, and the raspberry mousse wouldn't form stiff peaks. My feet hurt, I was sleep deprived and my emotional state was in shreds since I had never had a cake fall on me before. Not once in my whole life. Needless, in the end I did have a lot of fun and people liked it more than I thought they would. It was incredibly satisfying to see everyone having a great time and the graduates happy to relax. To heap on the good news: I have another catered event! Next Saturday I'm going to be making some baked goods for my church's garden party. Menu for Double Graduation Party:
Romaine Caesar Salad
Bacon Water Chestnut Appetizers
Homemade Baked Beans
Creamed Corn
Colorful Kabobs with Peppers and Onions
Cheesy Grilled Potatoes
Brazilian Vinegrette
Churrasco-Style Grilled Steaks
2 Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cakes (one with more fudge than it's fruity sister)
Carrot Cake
