Sarah's Baby Shower

Hey Everyone. Last weekend, my wife and I catered our niece Sarah's baby shower. Here's some of the food we made. 

 

 

This was the fruit plate. The baby's head was made from a cantaloupe. The eyes are red grapes and the blanket is thinly sliced cucumber woven together.

 

These are Chinese soup spoons filled with Vietnamese chicken salad. 

 

These are Zuni rolls. Flour tortillas filled with mesquite smoked turkey, bacon bits, green onions and Havarti with dill. Fried to a golden brown, sliced and served with a roasted raspberry chipotle sauce.

 

These are mini tomato cheese herb tarts made with mini heirloom tomatoes.

 

These are crab puffs. Choux pastry dough (profiteroles, eclairs, etc) is baked into little puffs then filled with a crab salad.

 

This is a french herb potato salad.  Multicolored fingerling potatoes tossed in a vinaigrette with basil, dill and cilantro.

Now for the desserts!!!

 

Here we have a tropical lime mousse pie. A light and refreshing lime mousse flavored with just a hint of dark rum and served on a toasted coconut and graham cracker crust.

 

Who can resist the good ol' rice krispy treats?!?! These are served on a stick, dipped in white or dark chocolate and accented with sugar candies. These were a hit!

 

Red velvet cupcakes. A specialty in the south but right here at home in sunny SoCal.

 

PB&J bars. A nutty spin on your traditional peanut butter cookie with a red raspberry jelly filling.

 

Nutty Chocolate Chip/Chunk Cookies. Need I say more?
