Catering-Baby Shower

I recently catered a baby shower with a colorful spread. The menu I presented consisted of: fennel cucumber salad in a lime vinaigrette; black quinoa with summer vegetables; pesto shrimp with a spicy peach salsa and tender guacamole with fresh corn; mini lamb sliders with a spicy mayo; seared sesame chicken with a creamy coconut pan sauce; fresh herb baked sweet and new potatoes with Parmesan; mini orange-infused cheese cakes with orange supremes; and an upside down plum cake with a creative baby-shower topper (made with molds and rolled fondant). Having so much fun with creation of the dishes and the event itself can lead to missing menu items from a photo album! I'll be more diligent next time =)
