"Strawberry Fields Forever" Dessert Table

We designed this amazing dessert table for a young girl’s “60s Beatles” themed Bat Mitzvah. The concept for this table of treats was “Strawberry Fields Forever.” Each menu item was designed with this in mind. We used reds, pinks, whites, ribbon, and elegant signage to artfully convey this idea.

Added Touch Catering Reviews on Kudzu

Here is what two users on Kudzu.com had to say about us:



Wonderful food

Sandra Bank really has the added touch. When I needed help throwing a surprise party, she put together a wonderful menu. Can be a little on the pricey side, but she was able to stay in the budget I gave her. Her staff is wonderful and friendly as well.

5- STARS *****




Creative and delicious

I used Sandra Bank with Added Touch for my wedding reception, which was a vegetarian luncheon. She created a delicious vegetable stack that even my father loved! She was great to work with and very reasonable.

5- STARS *****



It is reviews like this that keep us loving what we do : )

Re-visiting the Bread Roll

For an updated presentation on the traditional bread roll, we have started experimenting with different shapes. We loved this recipe idea (http://theitaliandish.blogspot.com/) so much we had to try it ourselves! The amazing thing about bread dough is how it can be manipulated into any form that you want. I think this is just the beginning of what we can do with dough!
