The Treat Table goes Back to School

 We were thrilled to do a table for the MECE Marketplace. It was our opportunity to do the "Back to School" theme table we wanted to do.  

Hopefully, you are reading this because you saw us at MECE and wanted to see more of our work, which makes our attendance worthwhile.  We shared a corridor with Lisa (lisanalvenphotography.com) and former GE six sigma (!) small business consultants, Patrick and Brian (seventhelement.com), so Lisa was able to give me a lesson in photography with my new camera (enjoy the pics) and the guys gave us some great insight into our small business.

 Being that this was a Back to School theme (it IS still September) the obvious underlying flavor in the menu was APPLES! Apple spice cake whoopie pies, Apple Pecan Pie, caramel apple cheesecake.  The staples for passersby to taste were the vanilla and chocolate cake pops.  The true hit of the day were the peanut butter and jelly macarons! OMG! If only my children would understand the delicacy behind a macaron! These were truly delicious.  Jeannette's Oreo Chocolate Crunch cake shot completed the "milk and cookies" idea of school time snackery. 

2011 Fiesta Mexicana and The Treat Table's Anniversary

This table is so special to us as it marks The Treat Table's one year anniversary!

Last year, the St Joan of Arc's Dads Club was started to help raise funds for the school's new gym and sports equipment.  Our very first treat table was for their Back to School Event, and we were met with such great success that we have continued on doing tables.  We were honored to do a table again. Oh! How far we've come!

The starting point for this tasty menu was the churro cake pops- which were devoured.  From there, kalhua chocolate cake pops, tres leches cake shots, Hot chocolate cake shots, SPICY chipotle brownies smothered in dulce de leche.

The Passion Fruit Whoopie Pies were a big hit as well as the Mini Cinnamon Crusted Key Lime Pies which someone told me was the BEST Key lime pie he'd ever tasted (yay!)

Jeannette has perfected the art of french macarons, which flavors vary from Passion Fruit, chocolate and dulce de leche

  

I had brought back some prickly pear cactus flower syrup from a recent trip to Arizona, where I drank many a prickly pear magarita... So we incorporated that flavor into a cupcake, complete with a Tequila Patron syrup and salt!

Fairy Flower 4th Birthday



This was for a special 4 year old birthday party.   The client gave me this plate, and said: go with it. (Personally, our favorite kind of client...). The Treat Table provided her with a background, the cake and other dessert items, while the client had ideas for the lunch menu. No problem! "Tell us what you would like to put on the table, and we'll make the labels. First off, there were chicken strips, sandwiches, Crudites, Jello Parfaits, potato chips, and The Treat Table made: key lime pie with graham cracker crusts, red velvet cake pops, whoopie pies and of course, a two teired chocolate cake with cookies and cream buttercream frosting. delicious
