Waldorf sorbet for a 40th birthday

Waldorf sorbet - celery and apple sorbet with celery and apple matchsticks and walnuts 

This was suggested as an intermediate sorbet course by the host of an event in May this year - his 40th birthday. Think he'd had it in a restaurant somewhere in the world (he was well travelled & dined). His guests had flown in from around the world too - America, Hong Kong, France etc. No pressure then!
Took the apple & celery sorbet recipe from here. Sceptical? Tastes absolutely amazing... but then I would say that.

Cupcake-orama for a 70th birthday

There was another birthday too - what was it, 30th, 40th? Can't quite remember - the weeks go so fast when you're so busy, one just runs straight into the next.

This was part of a Sunday lunch party we did a few weeks back - the day after we had cooked the suckling pig for the same family.

Raspberry and white chocolate (love the raspberry icing on this one - used this recipe for the cake, but without grown-up supervision. Buttercream icing with raspberry coulis), coffee and walnut (adapted the white chocolate recipe) and black forest (using this recipe).                  

While we plated up the 2 birthday ones, the others we just plated up the garnish which allowed them to choose their favourite flavour. Of course there were a few left for them to have later in the evening too - there's always time for cake!

"and what was the date?"
"Friday 5 Mar to Sunday the.... 7th"
"This weekend?"

Yes. Already a busy weekend there was a last minute party with 4 days to go. Always like a challenge.

This a little something to go with the buffet lunch delivery on the Saturday.
