I LOVE BEING CREATIVE! Let me create something you can be proud to serve your family and guests! I am available at a moment’s notice to provide you with sweets and/or savories for your next intimate dinner party, any sized social gathering or client appreciation gifts. EVERYTHING I make is made with LOVE!
Yes I realize-- it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to dip pretzel rods into chocolate, roll them in sprinkles, nuts, peppermint crunch or coconut and display on a pretty platter. Anyone can do that--but do you have the time ....or patience?
I know most anyone planning a dinner party may decide to run to Trader Joes to purchase pre-made appetizers—a cello-pack of stuffed mushrooms, or a boxed dessert—but how fresh are they? And, how costly? Well, I know how costly! Chocolate covered pretzels are $3/each at Ettories Bakery and Nugget. Stuffed mushrooms are $7.99/six at Raley’s. If you have a dinner party for 10 you would need to purchase two packs just for everyone to enjoy one mushroom! That’s $16!
Using the very best quality and local ingredients, my home-made creations are priced at a fraction of that cost AND delivered to your door if you’re local.
One additional ingredient I put into ALL my creations at no extra charge is LOVE! All my sweets and savories are made with LOVE and delivered with a smile!
Prices do fluctuate depending on the market price of whatever it is you’re wanting. Strawberries can be $3.99 -- $5.99 a pint depending on the season. Depending on what types of cheeses and meats you desire for your Charcuterie will determine the total cost of the platter. But rest assured, my charges are so much less than you’d pay anywhere…and the taste and presentation will be FAR BETTER!
MY SPECIALTIES:
SWEETS:
* Chocolate covered anything! Pretzels, potato chips, strawberries, nuts and truffles—decorated in any colors to suit any holiday or occasion. (I use either Guittards or Ghirardelli chocolates--sooo smooth and tasty!)
SAVORIES:
*Cheese and meat trays that rival those in Nugget's catalog! Complete with sliced baguette, unique crackers and a mound of nuts and olives for good measure!
*Variety platters of roasted veggies that look like they came out of a Martha Stewart Magazine!
*Salads!!! You tell me what entree you're serving and I will create the perfect salad that pairs perfectly. I will prep all the ingrediants, the beautiful leaves of whatever type of lettuce you'd like will come to you triple washed and dried, and all you have to do is toss all the parts together and whala! you have a salad worthy of a 5 star restaurant! Also, the best part...the dressing will be homemade!
When I make these creations, I can simply use your favorite tray, wood cutting board or slate. If you don’t have something like that, I will lend you one of mine!
Kindly private message me to get a quote on whatever it is you’re thinking about. I can help you brainstorm too—those who know me can attest to my entertaining savvy.
Thank you for your interest in Sweets, Savories and Favories!
With lots of love,
Laurie
