As the cake flour settles and the floors are mopped, it has come to this...The end! It is over! The catering event has now passed. It took a week to prepare the lovely cakes, and it was all over in two nights! Everything was gone in two nights! I had been looking forward to the catering event for three weeks for it to come and go as fast as my cakes (My cakes disappeared pretty fast)! We made lists of who was where and who was doing what. The tables were decorated and made beauteous. Tea was prepared, Uniforms were inspected, Hair was tied up and ingredients counted.
Before the catering event I mixed up two different types of cake. I created a chocolate cake and a yellow cake (from scratch) then my friend and I mixed a vanilla butter cream with a hint of orange icing for the yellow cake and a chocolate butter cream for the chocolate cake both had an apricot glaze (magnificent)! We then created some amazing thought up question mark cookies to celebrate the murder mystery production out of shortbread with a hint of lemon! Then we coated them with either cocoa powder or powdered sugar!
We had around 11 people catering both nights! The second night was easier to go through and I wasn't nearly as sore. When I got home the first night and sat on my bed, Immediately I thought 'Where'd my legs go?'. We had a staff of four as the waiters! My three fantabulous and friends and I! It was pretty great! The food was said to be amazing and one lady remarked that her baby loved my chocolate cake! Well all in all, It was fantastic! Everyone worked great and take this tip! When working with chocolate watch your sleeves!
