Baby Shower

Butler For Hire Catering did a baby shower in Mountain View today.  My fruit baby carriage was a big hit! lol.....anything for a fun laugh, right? The menu was small bites and hor d'ouevres mixed in with fun backyard games...I think one had something to do with a child's tricycle and water balloons...ha, ha.  I think a drinking game would be more fun at that point or you would have to drink a bit to even try that kind of thing.  Popular items included the usual Tuna Tartare and the pick of the party was the "fruit baby".  Hope you get inspired by the menu and photos and you call me to cater your next party in the San Francisco Bay Area, www.butlerforhire.com.
