So this weekend I helped my friend with another catering job. This was a dessert and fresh fruit buffet at a local art museum. We had brownie chocolate mouse tarts, brownie peanut butter kiss tarts, chocolate dipped strawberries, lemon-vanilla fruit tarts and fresh fruit platters. I was in charge of the fruit and the chocolate dipped strawberries. We planned for 500 people, so just in case you ever need to know how much fruit to serve that many people her you go.

I spent 4 hours on friday cutting 3 watermelon, 8 pineapples, 12 cantalopes, and 6 honeydew. This ia what that looks like. Those are the 4 major fruits that I typically and then I garnish with red and green grapes, kiwis, strawberries and blueberries. Here you see the finished product.

So on Saturday I started doing the strawberries at 9 am. I thought it would take me about 5 hours, instead it took 7 but that's okay. They looked pretty, one of the guests even said they were exquisite and the father of the bride said they were the best he ever had. So how many strawberries does it take to feed 500? 4 flats. Here they are drying on my kitchen counter. Don't they look pretty. I unfortunatly did not get a great picture of the strawberries all finished, but the one I have here will have to do.

Here are a few other pictures of some of the other food. Everything was yummy. It was a long weekend and now I am tired, but the house is a mess and I need to get up and start cleaning. so here I go...

Sorry I had some major picture issues with blogger. Still have not figured their system out.
