Hello Kitty Party



We will post more pictures and details about this event soon. For now, here is a picture of the birthday banner and a flower pompom from the party that all followed the red and white color scheme of H Kitty. The other picture shows strawberry H Kitty cupcakes. Like the T Train birthday cake, these were made with marshmallow fondant, which the kids loved.

November Baby Shower #2

We had another great privilege in doing food and drinks for a baby shower this month. They used our pennants and we decided to integrate that theme like we did for the previous shower this month. Specifically, we put little triangles on toothpicks on the mochis, like the triangles on the pennants, as well as on the paper hanging part of the tea bags.
Can you see the little triangles on toothpicks on the mochis, like the triangles on the pennants? The tea bags are on the very bottom right of the picture but it's quite difficult to see the little triangles on them.
Geometry: Frittata squares, fried ravioli squares and triangular tea sandwiches.
Sliders Bar- with condiments, cheese, caramelized onion and sweet potato fries.

We changed the look of our caprese skewers with these long sticks and standing them up-right.

November Baby Shower #1

Early this month, we had the privilege of providing food, drinks, favors and tablescaping for three ladies who were throwing a shower for their friends N&D. We will post more pictures as we get them but for now, here are some pictures of the favors- chocolate meringue "nests" with jelly bean "eggs". Aren't they adorable? Also, going along with the bird graphic on our self-made favor labels, we put them on what was previously quite unappealing paper part of some fruity tea bags. It's all in the details, as they say! We thought they were quite charming but we wonder if anyone other than the tea drinkers noticed them...

T Train Birthday Cake


There's a little boy who just adores T train that he actually carries around and studies catalogues with this T train. Naturally, when he saw this cake, he was "in awe" as his parents described. We were very pleased with the result as well, especially because the birthday boy was so happy with it. To top it all off, it was made with marshmallow fondant, which unlike your regular fondant actually tastes good! Happy Birthday C!

Very Pink Chocolate Cupcakes


A truly sweet little girl wanted some chocolate cupcakes with REALLY pink frosting. Here are the results. They were made extra special with sprinkles of pink sugar glitters as well as sweet little roses on top... just like the birthday girl.

Cakes by Choix

In order: angel food cake with strawberry and mascarpone frosting; coconut mochi cake; red velvet cake; raspberry & white chocolate cheesecake.

Whoopie!

I have seen whoopie pies at bakeries before, but it wasn't until I saw an article about them that sparked my interest to make some. And... they were great!!! I'm planning to make some strawberry ones as well as pumpkin ones- the latter would be grrrrreat for the the fall and winter events.




They were recently given out as a thank-you gift as shown here.

Michelle's Baby Shower



Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of catering a baby shower for beautiful, then-expecting, Michelle. "Mini Food" was the theme, so we had mini pizzas, mini kabobs, mini crudite cups and mini finger sandwiches to name a few of the food items. For the dessert table, we had mini tiramisu trifles, mini cupcakes and caramel apples on popsicle sticks, mini chocolate fondue bar, and mini choux puffs. Our associate Christine did an exceptional job with the invitations, menu cards and penants. We also have to mention Michelle's friends Dana and Weili for a wonderful job hosting and helping with the food, as well as Michelle and Nanci for the beautiful pictures. Lastly, a big thank-you to Michelle for letting us play a big part in your special day and for sharing those great ideas.

chef themed birthday party

This is an example of a customized birthday party we offer at Choix.
The birthday girl had been showing interest in cooking and had been having a blast in the kitchen, so... chef themed birthday party was the perfect solution! The children decorated their aprons and hats, posed for the camera with their chef's outfit, made their own pizza and then ate the pizza, played games, decorated their own cupcakes and filled up their favor boxes with candies! What more can a kid ask for?
Kids having a blast posing for the camera in their very own chef outfits!


Each child decorated their own apron and chef's hat, and...
they made their own pizza!

Tattoos are always fun!

They loved decorating their own cupcakes with a frosting of their choice (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate) as well as some sprinkles!
