Festive 60th Birthday

This weekend we served a festive and tasteful 60th birthday party with interactive stations for guests to enjoy.

 Our caprese station featured a variety of tomatoes, mozzarella, and artisanal salts and dressings as well as a selection of smoked salmon and seared tuna.

 Plum, heirloom, green, and red tomatoes

 Seared ahi tuna with cucumber ribbons

Smoked salmon with capers, lemons, and red onions

 Our Asian street food-inspired station featured "Szechuan noodles-to-go", among other delights.

The highlight of the dessert table was a beautiful baked Alaska.

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

We are in love with the chic look of clear glass and all mirrored surfaces. And when you put that in a space that says cool and couture like Saks Fifth Avenue, how can you go wrong?! This event was for a client that wanted to celebrate her birthday in a place she and her girlfriends enjoy and a place that represented her sense of style and taste; Saks.

We set-up a gorgeous healthy ‘ladies-friendly’ lunch buffet among the racks, along the store’s stunning mirrored counter tops. We utilized our own mirrored platters and clear glass containers to mimic the clean design of the store’s show room.

Detail: Salmon fillets presented on mirrors with homemade dressings served in glass carafes.
