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





Chef Carlien Replenishing fruit platters on the buffet





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!
