Bridal Shower & More Weddings!

Congrats to Tammy & Minh!

I was honored to be part of their wedding and I have to say that the big day occured on the hottest day of the summer. I had to sleep early the night before to even get up at 1am for our 3am hair and makeup appointment. It was a hectic day but everything worked out well.

Now that things with my friend's wedding are all wrapped up, it's now my other friend's turn!

The bridal party

Congrats to Anthony & Linda!

I was asked to be Linda's bridesmaid for one of her biggest celebration, her wedding. We just had to be part of the craze and got to dance to PSY's "Gangnam Style" as our entrance music.

Experienced finger cramps here witht the cakepops...it was quite tedious!

The wedding party.

Here comes the bride all dressed in white~

"I Spy" game for our guests to play.

I liked how we each had our own personal vase for our bouquet.

The wedding cupcakes that I helped with.

Countdown to Tammy's wedding

As a bridesmaid, my duty was to help plan a bachelorette party/bridal shower for our bride-to-be. I was mainly in charge of afternoon tea. Here are just a few photos of our day, mainly food porn lol.

 

I got the monthly special "French Impressionists' Tea":
- chicken and asparagus tea sandwiches
(poulet et vinaigrette d'asperges sandwiches de the)
- cucumber and lemon tea sandwiches
(le concombre et citron sandwiches de the)
- butternut squash quiche with parmesan cheese and creamy custard in a flaky handmade crust
(quiche aux butternut courgette)
- white chocolate -lavendar scone
(chocolat blanc lavande scon avec conserves de fraisess et creme fraiche)

Broccolini flatbread - aged cheddar fondue, roasted garlic, goat cheese, chile flake and preserved lemon infused olive oil

Truffled French Fries -shallots, parsley, grated grana padano cheese, chipotle aioli.

These were so addicting!

Soba Noodle Wraps - shaved apple, fennel confit, chipotle aioli, fried shiitake mushrooms, cilantro-mint vinaigrette, bibb lettuce cups.

One year anniversary dinner date

I made another felt parfait for Pooky for our 1 year anniversary and I set up a dinner date at a Michelin Star restaurant called Plumed Horse. I wanted to treat him like a king that day in appreciation for all that he has done for me. It was a first time experience for the both of us. Waiter service was great. Ambience was intimate, upscale & classy. Food was yummy and there wasn't anything I dislike which is good because I'm a bit of a fussy eater. I left a VIP memo when I made reservations so they were able to provide us complimentary champagne, dessert and take home a bottle. Although we turned down the champagne because we weren't much of a drinker, they gave us apple cider instead but I would not turn down dessert! Bring it!!

Menu:

 House bread (rosemary bread was scrumptious).
 Hors d'oeuvres: deviled quail eggs, goose liver pate, fried onion pastry and mushroom something along with tempura mozzarella with olive oil.
 Strawberry balsamic soup amuse bouche.
 Black pepper & parmesan souffle, uni & dungeness crab fondue.
 Entree: chicken / salmon.
 Lychee sorbet with tapioca and cinnamon foam (palette cleanser).
Peppermint, brownie ice cream, chocolate soil and roasted marshmellow.
Chocolate bonbon with huckleberry sorbet, assorted macarons, candies and madelines with "happy anniversary".

My gift from Pooky was a Thomas Kinkade painting I've always dreamed about having one day when I have my own house.
