Ours and Our Kids: dessert bar

I feel too guilty for not being able to find time to update this blog as often as i want to. If you look at this blog's history, never will a month pass without me posting anything on it. Oh well, i'll try to revive this blog by starting with this first post for year 2011. =)

As some My Chocolate Heaven (MCH) fans know, we're already offering dessert bar setups as part of our mch products and services. The concept simply started when i realized that we can actually put all our dessert products together on one table.^_^ And since we already have TONS of competitors on our chocolate fountain business but just a few ones in the line of dessert bars/station, I knew that surely this would be a hit.

Am actually happy that our dessert bar setup has started flourishing in the market of party planners. Honestly, it's kinda difficult to compete with dessert bar suppliers because I only have the recipe books, the internet, my 20years of baking experience, and my God given talent and skills as resource. I so much want to go to a baking class to learn more baking and decorating
techniques. But my techie work on weekdays and our events on weekends might never permit me to do such.

So to make sure that we are not "kulelat" in this line, we always research about
a. what's new on the market,
b. how these desserts can be presented in a fab/chic way, and
c. which products prospective clients would love

To date, we are now offering these dessert treats below that clients can mix and match for their party's dessert station:

1. Chocolate fountain
2. Cakes (rectangular pan)
3. Miniature bundt cakes
4. Brownies and Fudge bars
5. Cookies
6. Parfaits (on shot glass)
7. Fruitie Jell-o's (on shot glass)
8. Fruits Exotiques au Ginemebre et au Miel (on shot glass)
9. Mini tarts
10.Gourmet mini donuts
11. Pastillas
12. Yemas
13. Pulvorons

We're still continuously researching and testing more dessert treats that we can include in this selection! I will actually be adding some 4 or 5 more dessert products on our dessert list above:)

Here are some dessert bars that we've already done so far.

We just had another successful out of town event yesterday. We don't really accept out of town events not unless the client is budgeting more than 15k (transportation not yet included). Hmm.. I think the last time we held an out of town event prior to the one yesterday was way back May 2009 at The Greenery in Baliuag Bulacan.

I was extremely excited about this event because it was our first Pampanga event and our biggest dessert station order so far. Planning this dessert with our client, mommy Diana, was a breeze. She actually gave me the idea of introducing parfait to our line of products. I've made parfaits only during family gatherings but never though that it could be a nice add-on to our line of dessert station products.

We arrived at the venue around 1pm and immediately started with our setup. I told myself that we needed to be there at least 2 hours before the event because of the parfaits that I only do on the venue, plus the mini cupcakes that will be iced with cream cheese frosting and whipped cream frosting. So glad that we were able to pull everything in time for the party.

Here's our dessert station setup :

Super Premium Mini Cupcakes

Parfaits

Gourmet Mini Donuts

Chocolate Fountain

Thank you so much mommy Diana for the warm welcome and your kindness (I meant the extra transpo tip.Ahem^_^).

Oh btw, we lost 14pcs of shot glasses that day=(. This was our third time to cater with parfaits but our first time to lose shot glasses. We, including the resto's waiters kept on searching for those glasses but sadly never found them. Just hope that it does not happen again because clients are charged with any lost or broken items.

Cheers!
