Victoria's Fruit Display

One of Teatime's most beloved staffers, Victoria, was married this past October. Teatime catered her Hawaiian themed couple's shower. We wanted to do something special with our fruit display, something crafted especially for the bride and groom. This spectacular fruit arrangement features fresh pineapple, papaya, strawberries, cantaloupe melon, honeydew melon, fresh coconuts, and radish orchids made from daikon radishes. The bride and groom were to honeymoon in Maui, so the menu reflected the islands with Hula Hula Chicken Thighs, Coconut Shrimp, A Mixed Green Salad w/ Fresh Mango and Raspberry Vinaigrette, and appetizers that featured Ruth's Tropical Salsa w/ Tortilla Chips. The bride was radiant (as always)!

Holiday Parties, The Shrimp Has Arrived!

For an alternative to the classic shrimp cocktail, Teatime has created this sumptuous shrimp appetizer. An enormous shallow glass bowl with marinated jumbo chilled shrimp with garlic, fresh limes, fresh dill, olive oil. Fantastic offering for New Year's Eve party, or New Year's Day brunch.
