Engagement Party in San Francisco

OMG...It's been over 1/2 a year since I posted anything, so sorry, I guess I've been too busy.
Anyhow, I catered a great engagement party this past Saturday in San Francisco.  It was in a really chic club room of a new condo building.  We served assorted small bites buffet style and butler passed hor d'oeuvres, my client was very happy and the guests were thrilled with the varied assortment of goodness.  I serve a new item this time, it was grilled tri-tip sliders with bleu cheese cream, arugula and tomato...they turned out awesome; nothing else feels like summer time like grilled meat.

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes with Gingersnap crust

My fabulous regular client called me needing help 48 hours before she needed me to help her entertain friends and associates after a school meeting on Thursday night. Of course, I was delighted to assist her with her entertaining needs!!! I love what I do and I really do enjoy sharing my skills with people that enjoy what I create. This was a simple affair at 8:30 with just a few Hor D'Ouevres, but simple does not mean it can't be beautiful! For the centerpiece, I carved out some sugar pumkins and a squash to use as a pillar candle holder, I thought they turned out wonderful; I also scattered some mini pumpkins and gourds and some preserved autumn leaves
