We did this decadent dessert bar for a beautiful wedding at Inn of the Seventh Ray on Friday night! Here's what I made for them: Vanilla Bean Creme Brûlée, Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pot de Creme, Fresh Fruit Cups, Cognac Caramel Apple Tartlets, Mini Meyer Lemon Meringue Pies, Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies, Blueberry Cheesecake Parfaits, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries! with Mauricio Bragatto and Brooke Mango

Made this beautiful Bermuda Pound Cake for a client’s mom’s memorial we catered this week. She was from Bermuda and it was her favorite dessert. Made it from her handwritten recipe 💕 It is made with buttermilk and had the best texture. It was dense but delicate with crispy edges and a lovely vanilla flavor with just a kiss of lemon. Served it with Vanilla Bean Whopped Cream and fresh berries. Better than any poundcake I’ve ever had!! I made 2 extras so their family could enjoy it the next day. Lovely family at a really sweet venue in the West Adams area called The Wilfandel House.

Our decadent Port Braised Grass Fed Veal Osso Buco with Creamed Spinach over Mashed Purple Peruvian Mashed Potatoes and Veal Demi Glace will make your guests swoon!

Made these yummy fresh baked s’mores triple chocolate chunk cookies for a birthday last week! Also made fresh fruit cups, blueberry cheesecake parfaits and rice crispy treats! The kids said they were “so yummy”🎉🥳!

The Daily Amy - Wasabi edition! If you love wasabi flavored snacks as much as I do- these Wasabi Shrimp Chips are the perfect balance of wasabi heat, mild sweetness, subtle shrimp chip flavor and crunchiness! I can't stop eating them. I found them at Galleria Korean Market on Devonshire and Reseda. Haven't seen this brand of them anywhere else. It's called ironically- No Brand

Made myself a little feast from the East for dinner last night with some homemade super crispy Scallion Pancakes with Thai Peanut Sauce, Shrimp Hargow and Thai Ice Tea! So good!

You might not know but we specialize in Pan Asian food. Particularly appetizers. Perfect for your next party!!

Made my favorite Thai Spicy Beef Salad for dinner. So yummy but takes a bit of prep. With Romaine, Glass Noodles, Grilled Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak, Mint, Cilantro, Serranos, Cucumbers, Red Onions & Carrots. The dressing has fresh Lime Juice, Thai Fish Sauce, Serranos, Garlic, Brown Sugar, Chile Oil and Red Pepper Flakes. Still wasn't spicy enough, but my market didn't have Thai chiles. next time...

Such a great lunch at Casalena in Woodland Hills today with my favorite cheffy friends! 🥰. I met Sheryl Clofine-Aronow & Gail Berger when we took Pastry School from Chef Cecilia De Castro in 2010 and have been close friends ever since. I first met Chef Cecilia when I took the Professional Culinary Program from her in 2004! Chef Cecilia has been one of the most influential people in my life and has continued to provide the most astute and insightful guidance in my culinary career.

My Cakepop lady ( ) is better than your cake pop lady!

Lily is just the most talented cake pop designer. I try to describe how crazy adorable they are to my clients, but it's the sheer delight when they finally see them at their party that is so fun. These were for a client's Jungle themed baby shower over the weekend. I also attached a few more of her designs. She's crazy talented. She can custom design them too.

I did a VIP event for the LA Brea Tarpits and she created Prehistoric Animal cake pops for me! From renderings of animals that don't even exist!!😲 The CEO of the Tarpits was blown away. Check out her page for all the fantastic ones she can do.

Lunch is served to one of our favorite Corporate Catering Clients! First up is our Sunset Beets & Goat Cheese salad with Candied Pecans, Pomegranate Arils & Cucumbers, which is as delicious as it is beautiful! Also served was Vegetarian Manicotti with Marinara and Garlic Cream Sauces, Chicken Florentine, Wild Rice Pilaf and Grilled Asparagus. We did breakfast at 8am, lunch at 1pm and then a cocktail hour from 5:30-7;30 for them. It was a long 16 hour day... but our team rocked it to the very end with amazing food, great friendly service and gorgeous decor.

'Big Brother' Alum Corey Brooks Marries Samantha Swanson in 'Fairytale' Wedding Ceremony in Malibu (Exclusive) 'Big Brother' star Corey Brooks exchanged personal vows with Samantha Swanson in front of 115 friends and family members on July 8

My wedding client(with tons of food allergies) loves chocolate, but is allergic to strawberries, so I made her chocolate dipped raspberries with a little gold dust!

Also a peek inside of the vegan springrolls I made for them with a new product called Pumfu since she's allergic to soy. It's tofu made from pumpkin seeds! I actually like it better. it has a better flavor and texture than tofu, and it worked perfectly in the spring rolls with shiitake mushrooms, bean thread noodles, cucumbers, avocado, daikon radish and green onions.

And our Mini Fish Tacos with guac and spicy tartar sauce since she can't have tomatoes.

A few dishes from last night's wedding tasting for a gluten free client. I love creating food for people with dietary restrictions because seeing them finally get to enjoy food that they are often too afraid to eat in restaurants, because they feel safe, knowing that I've prepared everything with all their restrictions in mind. I know a lot of other caterer's turn away events like this or will suggest that maybe they just make a special plate for the bride. But I just feel like someone should be able to eat and enjoy everything on their wedding day. They should feel comfortable that they can have every appetizer, every entrée, every side dish and every dessert! I love these fresh vegan springrolls so much (shiitakes, cucumbers, daikon, scallions, sweet peppers, bean thread noodles, and pumfu) Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad with Lemon Honey Shallot Dressing and Caramelized Pear and Vegan Goat Cheese on Gluten Free Crostinis with Blackberry Drizzle AmysCulinaryAdventures.com osangelesweddingcaterers
