Hello friends!
We are excited to be catering more and more events. We are working at new and old venues with new and old clients alike. We are thrilled to be catering IN PERSON the Gala in support of the Oakland Ballet Company. Tickets are still available – please see link below.
March was busy with catering at Berkeley’s David Brower Center for the Royal Veterinary College from London for an event enticing new students to enroll in their college and at Palo Alto University catering their breakfast, lunch and afternoon receptions for the welcome weekends for admitted students! Of course St. Patrick’s Day is always a big hit and we are doing tastings again at our commercial kitchen as we book out the rest of 2022 and into 2023.

March was full of Birthfestivities!
|
|
|
A great time was had by all!
Dawn celebrated her March birthday with a visit to the Land’s End art exhibit at The Cliff House, an Escape Room at Heist Escape Room in Fremont (heistescaperoom.com), lunches, dinners, a gift of a rainbow of pre-made cocktails, a fuchsia Kate Spade bag which makes Dawn feel like a boss, manis, pedis and an Oscar party with pjs & wigs. (And of course, her new found Wordle obsession.)
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes and great fun.

Celebration of Life at Rossmoor
We were incredibly honored
to cater the celebration of life of Johan Viking Hultin
– a most amazing man who lived to the glorious age of 97 years.
Please look up this incredible man. There were 200 guests paying their respects to Johan and his family. Here’s what daughter Christine had to say: “It was an amazing day and you made it so special. As a family we are in deep gratitude for all of your love, delicious food, expertise and amazing capacity to deal with everything from the tiniest of details to big ones! And Marty – we all loved the Gravlax (pictured) but the Swedish population especially loved it and said it was the best they have ever had!!!
Thanks with love and gratitude – Christine”
