joy in hands on creating
I’m sharing details of our custom-recipe dessert catering at Botanica Gardens in Oceanside. This August we were onsite to set three unique dessert tables plus wedding cake for our beautiful wedding couples.
It’s fun to share the visuals and look back in a busy wedding season. (The weekends of late-summer and early fall go by so quickly, one week feels like three have passed!) These images and notes also help our potential clients consider specific quantities and how they may be presented.
We celebrated Nonna’s 80th birthday as a family with a seafood boil featuring our New Bay seasoning, July-baby floral arrangements to decorate, and her two favorite cakes.
Fine-tuning the details for Julieann and Cole’s wedding day at Botanica the Venue in Oceanside was a joy. Our team gave love, personal care, and attention as wedding vendors via florist work from Glorified Hobby, and custom dessert catering via Mili’s Sweets.
Laurie and Oliver traveled from Hawaii to plan their San Diego-destination wedding at Ethereal Gardens.
Together we created custom flavors for an unstacked, three wedding cake display, alongside a dessert table to enjoy with their family and friends.
Roasted “ceci” are a snack enjoyed since ancient-times – a tradition that was passed to me from my Italian grandmother. Especially during Lent, my Nonna would open my hand and place these crunchy, little snacks from her apron pocket. This food is a beloved childhood memory. I’m honoring my roots and this tradition by sharing the classic recipe preparation, as well as notes for adding never-bored-of flavors.
