Israeli Chefs Prepare at Added Touch for the Jewish Film Festival

Added Touch helped kick off the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival at their opening gala at the Fabulous Fox Theater!

At the opening night gala guests enjoyed dessert and coffee courtesy of Added Touch and small plates from some of Atlanta's finest chef's, including Kevin Rathbun of Rathbun's and Israel's Uri Navon. We invited Navon and his sous-chef work in our kitchen in order to make their show stopping dish for the Festival!

Holiday Nostalgia

It's almost February, but we are still having flashbacks from a fantastic holiday season. Here are highlights from some 2011 Christmas and Holiday events. Think of it as inspiration for next year!

This tent held one of our bars, coffee and hot chocolate station, and an amazing 18foot dessert station!

View of one side of the lengthy dessert station, guests enjoyed pick-up sweets like themed cookies and creme brulee and whole desserts like baked Alaska and bread pudding.

Cake pops and coconut cakes

Signature smoked salmon and avocado terrine, served with lavash and crackers. This item is a very popular appetizer in any season.

We never forget about our kids during the Holiday season. Here are some images of an elaborate kid's holiday buffet, serving among other things, healthy treats like salad dippers and fresh fruit.

Front view of the kid's salad station, with self-contained salad dippers. Each plastic cup had a fresh lettuce stack with a bread stick and creamy ranch dressing at the bottom.

We served a festive S'mores Station, where in guests could roast their very own s'mores, under close Added Touch supervision of course.

We like to maintain the holiday spirit all year round!

Fantastic Thank You!

Hello All,

I just wanted to THANK YOU once again for A JOB WELL DONE, with my sister's wedding reception! Dee and Aaron, along with myself, were blown away by all of your contributions to the event. Everything really came together. NOTHING WENT WRONG & WE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. We are very grateful and appreciative for all the hard work, cooperation and patience shown to us. Family members and friends are still talking about it lol; therefore, we're convinced that memories were definitely made that night. It was a lot of fun and we could not have experienced that without the assistance from each of you.

P.S. THANKS AGAIN & HAVE A GREAT WEEK/WEEKEND!

Sincerely,

Seanna M. J******

Autumn Harvest Event: Designed in Pumpkin Orange and White

It’s fall and last week we helped Lincoln Property Company celebrate the change in seasons with their brokers. The brokers were invited to view the 4^th floor of their 55 Ivan Allen Plaza space, a beautiful high rise office building. Because the space is a un-built-out floor, we needed to transform the concrete drabness with lantern lighting and bright pumpkin orange linens. We used a large central buffet to draw the guests into the space and kept them there with seating near the buffets.

We celebrated with a hearty central lunch buffet, beverage service, and pick-up dessert treats.

Seating for 10, with white resin chairs

Guests were invited to enjoy a beverage bar serving sodas and fresh apple cider garnished with fresh apples and cinnamon sticks.

We used real hand-carved hollowed pumpkins as the ice buckets and kept the pumpkin tops for décor!

Seating View

The Dessert Buffet was set-up on a 6ft table, two leaning shelves, and two stacked shelves. We served fall themed pick-up sweets like our apple tartans and pumpkin flavored cheesecake bites.

We served items that could be plattered mostly from our shop in order to minimize the amount of prep we needed to do in the raw space. We brought 2 of our mini ovens in order to do some light heating.

Part II Desserts: Glitz, Glamour, and Glass: Gorgeous Birthday Party at Saks Fifth Ave!

A few posts ago we featured some pictures from a gorgeous event we produced at Saks. We showed you the delicious dinner buffet, seating, and bars, but we saved the best for last… DESSERT! Dale, the woman celebrating her birthday, enjoyed a “Dales Candy Display” dessert, like the cool NYC treat shop with the same name.

We utilized glass cylinders and squares to create a modern and vibrant display!

We also offered a fabulous cake walk, wherein guests tasted stunning cakes in every flavor and color.
