Flametree Homestead

And just like that! It's the weekend. But, not just any old weekend, this weekend sees the Fathers/Father figures of Australia celebrating their day, it's Fathers day on Sunday.

That means LOTS of Catering and functions are happening..... ohhh, did l mention it is also the semi finals for the NT NRL AND the last weekend of Seniors month (a month that highlights and showcases all the wonderful things that are available for the senior members of our community and also the community to thank the Seniors for everything they have done and continue to do for us all.

So, a busy weekend for Flametree Homestead !

Tonight we created a early Father's Day Picnic hamper for a family so that they can celebrate early! (Photos below)
Tomorrow sees us assisting the NT NRL crew with the corporate catering of all the sponsors Then a quick change of outfits to go MC the Project21 NT Seniors High Tea that has been organised by Casuarina Lions Club. Once we are finished there it is another quick outfit change as we head into the city and host Who's ya daddy Murder Mystery The Last Supper Pizzeria at the Birth of Venus.
Sunday will see us up super early (think 2am early) and in the commercial kitchen to prep for a Father's Day High Tea being held at national trust NT Burrnett House.

It was a busy day in the kitchen on Wednesday! We received a call at the end of the day to ask if we could create a Dairy Free, Gluten Free chocolate cake for the customers boss' birthday celebration in the workplace.... well we do like a good challenge so, off l went to hunt and gather all the ingredients to create this delicately decadent chocolate cake with dairy free 'butter' icing.

I was soooooo tempted to eat a little! BUT l resisted (only just).

By all reports, it was well received.
