Spring is finally here, and FANDANGO Catering offers 5 tips for making your Spring 2010 events a success.
Spring brings many opportunities for celebration, including Mother's Day and Memorial Day, showers, graduations, picnics, family and friends get-togethers, and more. The mild air, longer daylight hours, and lovely smell of growing things inspire us to celebrate. In today's and upcoming blog posts, we'll provide ideas for making your spring events interesting and fun, not ho-hum.
Here are 5 ideas for making your spring events a sure success this year:
Use glasses--Break up the monotony of an hors d'oeuvres spread with shooter or wine glasses or demitasse cups of a soup or a mousse. Garnish each glass or cup with something relevant to the dish, such as chopped tomato, a single shrimp, chopped chives, or creme fraiche.
Burger sliders are yesterday's news--If you like sliders, try a global variety such as mini paninis, mini emparedados (Spanish French toast ham and cheese sandwiches), or mini pitas. Just cut full -size sandwiches in halves or fourths; try serving with a dipping sauce or two.
Put out a signature cocktail on trays before the event starts--That way guests can get a drink as soon as they arrive and you can arrange and even garnish the tray of cocktails with plenty of time
Have a special treat for children if they attend--Special foods for kids, such as paper cones of kid-friendly finger foods or healthy snacks (or even cascarones, confetti eggs), or a tray of cupcakes. Kids always appreciate a little table with their food or treats at a buffet event.
If you serve iced tea, make it delicious and interesting by adding fruit juice--Fresh (not canned or pasteurized) orange juice and grape juice work well. Begin by adding a little juice at a time to the pitcher of prepared and sweetened tea, and keep tasting until you like the results. Or try half lemonade, half iced tea mixed together.
To Spring!
