Muckenthaler Mansion Wine Tasting Soiree

On Tuesday We had the Muckenthaler Masion wine tasting soiree. For those of you who don't what a soiree is, it's just a fancy name for party or gathering. This was a soiree to preview the Muck's Italian Garden ceremony courtyard. With over 100 people in attendance the soiree seemed to be a huge success! With music and lighting furnished by Black Tie Events and live saxophone by Norm Douglas and many other industry people such as Steve Burdick of Steve Burdick Events, Fusion Linens, Miguel Pola of Etched In Time Photography, Tiffany of Tustin Ranch Golf Club, of course us, Colette's Catering. These Events are great to meet Industry people and be able to get to know each other with out having to work 100 miles an hour. We had a great time! Thank you all who attended.

to top it all off...

From custom monograms to porcelain figurines to unique floral arrangements, cake toppers have developed into an integral part of a couple's wedding day. Some toppers hold significant meaning to the bride and groom, while other toppers may reflect a more humorous characteristic shared between the newlyweds.

Shown here are a few favorite selections of cake toppers from Colette's Catering.

Cakes as well as cake toppers come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing remains the same for all our wedding cakes- the bride and groom are represented in the cake through the overall design, the topper, and even the chosen flavors. As for me, well, I love penguins and cake, therefore...

Gladys & Steve's Wedding Reception 5/31/2008

With Disney characters designating tables, Gladys and Steven planned a fun-filled and unforgettable event- much like the couple themselves. Organza lavender chair sashes accented the pastel pink and violet edged hydrangea centerpieces, with favors for each guest wrapped in petite purple ribbon. The cake table, dressed in white tulle and tied with violet bows and twinkle lights, showcased the incredible four-tiered wedding cake. Decorated in an iridescent ivory fondant with elegant script writing and decor, the special cake looked as good as it tasted: marble cake with chocolate ganache-praline french buttercream filling and almond cake with rum custard filling. This delicious combination of flavors reflects the perfect match between Gladys and Steven.
