Culinary Delight Catering in Los Angeles

Rave Reviews from the Cupcake Gallery

As usual, Los Angeles caterer Culinary Delight Catering's cupcakes were the hit of the party! And, as usual, the customers have rave reviews!

Good morning Emma,

 

We had a great evening...way better than we had imagined!!!  We enjoyed your wine, appetizers and delicious moist cupcakes you delivered.  I made sure I ordered extra so I have a dozen to take home for myself (and our two kids).  I provided cupcake boxes for my guests who preferred to take the cupcakes into the movie or to take home.  Afterwards our friends watched "Breaking Dawn" in the private screening lounge with loveseats.  It was an awesome time for all!  My friends were so impressed with the event and of course raved about your cupcakes.  Thanks for being part of our event.  You sure were " icing on the cake"!!!

 

I have attached a picture of Dave and myself at our birthday bash.  Your warmth and caring attitude makes us feel like we've known you for a long time.  Hope to meet you someday soon.  Take care and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

 

XOXO

 

The  Arboleda's

Of course, there's more to life than just cupcakes, as our friends at USC know!

Hello Emma,

I just wanted to thank you so very much for all that you and Ron did yesterday. The luncheon was a complete success!! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your many food choices, your homemade chicken salad, appetizer, cupcakes and your Strawberry whipped cream cake! Many are still raving about it today!

And thank you so much for your kind gift! You really shouldn't have done that!

Thank you so much! All of us here in the Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese at USC love you and your business!

Happy Holidays!

Best,
-D R

A Backlog of Praise for Culinary Delight Catering in Los Angeles

Here's the backlog of friendly letters we've gotten lately. First, a flavor convert to organic catering:

OMG, my boss had one word for our weekly meeting AWESOME, he was blown away with the chilled Grilled Salmon, the fresh Organic Veggie Pasta Salad, the fresh Organic Fruit Salad as well as the Organic cupcakes.

I am not that into Organic eating, but I will admit that Organic foods have a much better taste than regular foods.

Thanks for making my job easier and for the KUDO's I received.

Pat

And here's one from the mother of the groom (and military Mom), who order a budget wedding menu:

Emma,

Thank you again for all you did to make our event a success!  You were so gracious to stay and make sure everything was hot and run for ice, etc. and you made quite an impression!  Several folks asked for the name of the caterer and I gladly passed it on.  Many people commented on how relaxed the atmosphere was and how good the food was...

All the guests enjoyed the wonderful baked Honey Ham, the creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes (I think they were Yukon Golds) and the veggies and not to forget the wonderful salad.

Thank you again!

C Johnson

And here's someone who loves the cupcakes (join the club):

Emma Tate’s cupcakes are the best!  We love the variety, and it’s the hit of our office monthly birthday celebrations.

The Red velvet, and double chocolate carmel are so moist and the frosting is just right  not to sweet.

The Butter Raspberry Cream  surprise cupcake this month was the best ever. We love and look forward to the surprise cupcake, lol

H Norris

And here's someone who would like to see us expand into stores!

Everything was great, the staff enjoyed everything,  your entrees were a hit!  It was definately enough food, especially because we had some extra guests.

Your homemade Chicken Salad should be in stores...

as well as your homemade cookies...

See you if not before then on our next meeting...  

Thank you

Here's more information about the event:

Hey Emma,

We're a tiny eco-friendly stationery shop in LA and just opened our Culver City studio.  We are planning a champagne & cupcake event to celebrate our new space and get to know other eco-friendly businesses.  Our idea is to bring together brides, event planners, and companies from every aspect of the bridal industry.  Planners will be incentivized to attend with a master list of bridal attendees and possibly a fabulous treat, like a couture bag; brides will come for the knowledge and chance to win a huge bridal gift, featuring huge discounts like $1000 of our stationery, $1000 towards their wedding photography album, etc.  The event will be March 1, 4-8pm.

We are looking for other vendors to attend PLUS a few vendors to help us fill out the studio by displaying the hottest in eco-chic wedding ideas.  This is a completely free opportunity, no cash out of pocket, but we will expect one fabulous item or certificate for the bride give away.

Check out our work and eco-credentials on our website (most recent work shown on the blog), and let me know if you'd be interested.  Again, the event is free for everyone and we are looking to make meaningful connections.

Thanks for the read!

Feeding The Cupcake Craze

We are baking cupcakes like crazy! There are so many champagne and cupcake parties! We have done several and have some booked for next month.

We deliver the cupcakes and set up the station (decorate the table). We can provide the champagne, however most people provide their own. We can also provide sparkling apple cider.

These cupcake parties are a great way to network and meet new people. It is very cost effective, an important and attractive point in today's economy. Our cupcakes are great for spa parties, teenage parties, before the prom parties, office parties, seminars, opening and wrap parties, and more! We can make these parties happen anywhere: at your home, retail store, office, stage, location, etc. And, cupcakes can be a part of our larger craft-services package. Call for details!

We can make any cupcakes organic, if you'd like. We just added new adult flavors!

• Nuvo (vodka blend)
• Midori
• Mojito (lime blend)
• Margarita
• Bailey's
• Malibu Rum
• Kahlua
• Rum
• Pina Colada

Eat Cupcakes and Dance the Day Away!

Cupcakes and dancing! Good times at Cal Arts!

Dear Emma,

On behalf of the CalArts Community Arts Partnership, I'd like to thank you for helping us make our CalArts CAP 20TH Anniversary Cupcake & Dance Party possible with your amazing Cupcakes!

We deeply appreciate your delicious Culinary Delights.  Like always, we enjoyed your beautiful and yummy creations.  We had hundreds of CalArts students attend our party in the CalArts Main Gallery where they danced salsa to the rhythms of the CalArts Latin Jazz Ensemble.

It was a great way to celebrate 20 years of serving the Los Angeles community with free arts.

Again, thank you for helping us make it possible.

 

Warmly,

Cupcakes from Cupid

 If you have a loved one in the Los Angeles area, we can deliver cupcakes for Valentines Day. Here's a recent testimonial from a customer who sent along a special message on the card...
 

Thank you so much Emmatate you are truly an angel.  Here are the words for my card, please let me know you've received them and once again, thank you for everything.

Valentines Day should be special,

It only comes by once a year.
And today well, I feel I'm quite lucky,
As into the future I peer.

I realize the distance is harder,
Than anything I've done before.
But my love for you has grown stronger,
And I cannot ask anything more.

So on this day I will tell you,
And these cupcakes should help me to say.
That I love you my darling, forever and more,
Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Love,
Josh

Cupcakes for the Homeless on Their Birthdays!

Happy New Year!

Culinary Delight Catering in Los Angeles is teaming up with Maria Wassef of Naples Florida who started the program of bringing cupcakes to homeless people for their birthdays! As noted by the Cupcakes Take The Cake blog, this very sweet cupcake news is the result of Ms. Wassef's belief that everyone should be recognized on the day they were born.

The story, originally picked up by WZBN in Ft. Myers, notes that Ms. Wassef stated: "It's so important for them to know that somebody cares for them, and that might change their life."

BTW, if you love cupcakes, be sure to check out the Cupcakes Take The Cake Blog. Great reading. And, for the truly dedicated cupcake enthusiasts, check out the Los Angeles chapter of the Cupcake Meetup Group!

Yet another fan of the cupcakes!

We get lots of emails like this one about our cupcakes!

Thank you so much for everything! The cupcakes were a huge success and everybody loved them! We look forward to working with you in the future.

Another Fan of the Cupcakes (and our service)!

As you'll see from future testimonials about Culinary Delight Catering, the LA cupcakes are very special, and people just love to rave about them!

Dear Ms. Emma,

I just wanted to thank you for the special order that you made for my sister's birthday.  It was so very nice of you to go out of your way to do a same day order long distance like that.  My sister has not stopped talking about how beautiful and delicious those cupcakes were.  She is also referring you to everyone that she knows in California, and she is determined to use you for her business Grand Opening.

You are a wonderful person and I wish you many blessings.

Your friend,
