Summertime in a glass. We are always pouring creative cocktails and as savvy mixologists, we take great pride in crafting cocktails (and mocktails) that are specifically catered to your event's theme and special needs. We only use organic, fresh squeezed juices and top shelf liquor when making our concoctions, garnishing them with fresh fruits, herbs and vegetables. Cheers to that!

As we begin to design and cater events, we start by focusing on the story that wants to be told. This helps us create something memorable that will stand the test of time. Here are three tablescapes from our archives that remain as classic as ever.
This reception was an ode to Tuscany, with layers of neutral decor and florals. So the menu needed to feel classic and and refreshing too. Together, we landed on a plated dinner featuring our Shades of Green Caesar salad, filet mignon balsamico, and a dessert selection of mini donuts and churros.

Feast your eyes on each layer of this savory cheese wheel tower. From Point Reyes Blue to Dutch-aged Gouda, this centerpiece was the perfect way to anchor the charcuterie station and celebrate the Birthday girl in style!
An ode to last Monday at The Met and its theme, “The Garden of Time.”
Butterflies and florals were the theme of this 10th anniversary party, and our team complimented the day by adorning hors d'oeuvres with edible flowers, all displayed on lucite stands tucked into overflowing floral arrangements. by Eucharis Inc. Design Studio. 🤍🦋

British tradition meets Los Angeles flair in Chef Jojo's latest rendition of our beloved fish 'n chips. While cozying up to a plate piled high is the norm in traditional pubs, our fellow Angelenos prefer a more portable, bite-sized option for on-the-go indulgence. Chef Jojo captured the essence of this classic dish reimagined with a modern twist.
Avoid cocktail hour confusion with our modern glass serving trays tailored for each hors d'oeuvre. We customize each tray with with herbs and edible flowers, creating an elevated presentation for every occasion.
From plating to perfection! 600 deconstructed tiramisu plates featured a dusting of cacao and edible gold flakes. Now, that's Amore!
Delicious and nutrient-packed fuel! Our six-minute egg receives a dusting of kale before being served atop a crispy kale salad on salted buttered Brioche toast. It is the kind of brunch that is both visually interesting and satiating!

#BTS in the kitchen: Chef Jojo plating her perfect Caviar and Crème fraîche tartlets with edible Viola and gold dusting.
BOO! You’ll want to make this recipe in the coming weeks for a festive sweet treat. 👻 Ghost Meringue Recipe Makes 4 cups Swiss Meringue Ingredients 4 large egg whites, ¾ cup of egg white 1 cup of sugar pinch cream of tartar ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract Directions: 1) Fill a medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set over medium heat and bring water to a simmer. 2) Combine the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a bowl of an electric mixer, and place over saucepan. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Rub the mixture between your fingers to test. 3) Transfer bowl to mixer stand, and whip, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until meringue is cool and stiff glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla; mix until combined. Use immediately. 4) Add decorations like googly eyes or even use a blow torch for a toasted look. #ghostmeringue #swissmeringue #meringuerecipe #halloweenbaking #ghostdessert #pastrychef
