Another Event from Work

This was a high end fundraising event that we did for 750 people. The two big sculptures are made out of chocolate. The event was western themed. We had about 3500 desserts set out on the table for them. In the top pictures you can see some of the production kitchen. 

Taste of the Season

 

This was the dessert we did for an executive lunch. Pumpkin mousse dome and an apple frangipane tart. The little garnish is a leaf, but you can't really tell in this picture. 

Caramel Apple Gateaux

Sushi

I ate at a sushi restaurant last week, and decided that I would try making some. It is not very authentic. It is vegetarian. I used avocado, red pepper, carrots, and zucchini. It was yummy. I am going to experiment with it more, and hopefully add some protein.
