[catering for the wedding]

Been a very busy girl and a very slack blogger – no telephone or internet for a whole week last week didn't help! Anyway, only a quick moment to take a breath, as this Saturday my Mum is getting married at her home, and I will be doing the catering for around 50 guests! 

Over Easter I pre-made many of the savouries and sweets and stocked up the freezer so only the fresh items like sandwiches and fruit platters need to be assembled on the day. I also recruited my Apprentice MasterChef to assist with this task – and he did a splendid job!

Here's the menu:

 

First platter of savouries:

Finger Sandwiches

Prawn or Tomato & Avocado Blinis 

(yes I know the photo has Caviar on it, but let's be realistic here, kids aren't going to eat that!)

Carrot sticks with French Onion or Hommus Dip

Second platter:

Lamb Meatballs (aka Baa Baa Balls)

Spring Rolls

Spinach & Feta Triangles

Served with Mint Sour Cream, Sweet Chilli Sauce or Tomato Sauce

Third platter:

Mini Quiches

Tomato, Cheese & Spinach Skewers

Carrot sticks with French Onion or Hommus Dip

Fourth platter:

Pigs in a Blanket (aka Scooby Snacks)

Spinach & Feta Triangles

Baa Baa Balls

Served with Mint Sour Cream, Sweet Chilli Sauce or Tomato Sauce

Sweets to be served with Tea & Coffee after cutting of the wedding cake:

Frozen Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Cups

Almond Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Cups

Scones with Jam & Cream

Lemon Slice

Chocolate Slice

Rocky Road Slice

Fruit Platter

Oh well, no time to rest – off to buy some last minute ingredients today before I go claim the kitchen as my own at Mum's place tomorrow – and get things exactly how I want them for Saturday!
