Cindy's Kitchen Catering

It was another beautiful day for an outside wedding! On the menu: Taco/Burrito Bar, with a Fruit Tray and Veggie Tray for appetizers!

Individual pies take more time to put together, but I always love how they turn out! Today's pies are Mixed Berry, Apple, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Pecan!

PSA: If you inquire of a vendor's services, and they respond by writing up a proposal, please respond to that proposal . At the very least, acknowledge that you received the propsal. Don't just go silent. Simply responding with a "Thanks, but no thanks" is totally acceptable!

When God looks down and sees that a customer ordered hot soup for a catered meal in July and blesses us with cloudy skies and temperatures barely reaching 70 degrees...

We catered a beautiful wedding and served 180 people on Saturday at the Cranberry Lake Christmas Tree Farm, in Eatonville! The venue was gorgeous! We had never been there before, but I hope to form a relationship with the venue owners and cater there more often!

Thank you to our friend, Jim Heizeman, who volunteered to grill the chicken and sausage and helped serve at the venue since Jeff was sick! You saved the day, and we are very appreciative of you!

It's time to make more homemade Vanilla Extract...so it will be ready for winter baking season!

Vanilla beans and vodka make THE BEST Vanilla Extract to cook with! I slice open the vanilla beans, cover in vodka, seal tightly, and put in the back of a cabinet that doesn't get opened very often for 5 to 6 months!

Today was a baking day, and I just want to say how THANKFUL I am to have my daughter by my side in the kitchen and my husband being willing to make a last minute grocery run!

Today, we made 65 individual plain cheesecakes with raspberry toppings, 65 chocolate individual cheesecakes, 1 small plain cheesecake for a Bride and Groom to cut, 2 Larger Cheesecakes for a dinner party, 1 Apple Pie, 1 Mixed Berry Pie, 1 Peach Pie, Gluten Free pie crust for 5 more pies to be made tomorrow for Saturday's event, , and enough regular pie crust made and rolled out for 7 more double crust 10" pies and 40 double crust individual pies for a wedding next week! !

I have heard that rain on your wedding day means good luck. I hope the same is true for torrential downpours and sleet. I didn't get any pictures if the food , but check out the rainbows we saw between the storms!!

When you return to a venue to retrieve dirty serving dishes to find a lady filling up a TO GO box with leftover brisket and she says " I don't even eat meat!!" Hahahaha! We won over a vegetarian!

Our kitchen smells delicious today!
We made 40 Apple, Cherry, and Blackberry mini pies, 40 mini cheesecakes, 2 batches of Lemon Bars, and 8 dozen cookies! Then, I made homemade elk meatballs to go with Spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner!

PRAISE GOD, WE PULLED IT OFF!!! We catered our biggest event ever today. Appetizers, dinner, and desserts for 300 people plus lunch for the Bridal party and vendors (30 people). We had plenty of food for everyone, including all staff, to eat, plus we boxed up leftovers for the newly weds and both of their families! I am so thankful for our friends who let me hire them to help with some of the cooking and bussing tables!
Now...we feed 30 more people at a party today then we can rest!

I love to cater for "repeat" clients! This spread was provided yesterday for The "Reverie 55 and Better Community" in South Hill. Looking forward to serving them again next month!
