Culinary Delight Catering in Los Angeles

Our New High-End Fruit Platters

For our new fruit platters, we use the finest fruits available. We use cut-outs, such as roses, stars, humming birds, and many more. We skewer them, stick them into Wheat Grass, and put them on a 16 inch tray.

For an additional price, we can customize the shape of the Wheat Grass and use different types of containers. We also do Veggie Patches as well and Cheese Patches. We use Melons, Honeydew, Cantaloupe (watermelon by request) Grapes, Strawberries, Mangoes (in season), Pineapple, Kiwi, and we offer the option to select your own fruits.

The Wheat Grass can be used in smoothies or any type of juicing, which is a Big Plus! We are very flexible with our arrangements. We do not want to list our price because the price of the fruits fluctuate. We like to work with our clients and give them a good deal.

There is only one other catering company in LA that make fruit arrangements and deliver them, and they are very expensive and do not offer any options; they only use templates arrangements.

You can see all the various kinds of platters we offer on our Los Angeles meal delivery platters page.

September is Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Awareness Month

FYI, September is Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Awareness Month.

 

Leukemia and Lymphoma are two forms of blood cancer.  In both diseases, white blood cells, normally the infection fighters, fail to function properly and start to grow at an abnormal rate.

 

For more information about these two diseases visit their website. Find out how you may help.

 

I hope this will touch your heart to give and help fight this disease.  In some way we have all been touched by Cancer.

 

Thank you,

Emma Tate

Proposed Mastectomy Law Change

This came in by email. The author is unknown.

I'll never forget the look in my patients eyes when I had to tell them they had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast. I remember begging the doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer, only to hear that they would, but their hands were tied by the insurance companies.

So there I sat with my patient giving them the instructions they needed to take care of themselves, knowing full well they didn't grasp half of what I was saying, because the glazed, hopeless, frightened look spoke louder than the quiet 'Thank you' they muttered.

A mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in order to remove cancerous breast cells/tissue. If you know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain afterward. Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure. Let's give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.

This Mastectomy Bill is in Congress now. It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important. Please take the time and do it really quick! The Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill is important legislation for all women.

Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those times. If you're receiving this, it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds to go to vote on this issue and send it on to others you know who will do the same.

There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating the 'drive-through mastectomy' where women are forced to go home just a few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.

Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a petition drive to show your support.. Last year over half the House signed on. PLEASE! Sign the petition by clicking [here]. 

Please note that Culinary Delight Catering supports breast cancer research by selling a special butter cupcake with pink strawberry flavored cream cheese frosting for $3.50, with $2 of that going to American Breast Cancer Foundation.

Organic catering for Los Angeles

Culinary Delight Catering in Los Angeles can now make almost any menu item organically. That's right. Go check out all the delicious food available from our southern California catering menus, decide what you want, and then just ask us if we can get the organic version for your southern California catered event.

By offering organic food to our customers, we feel like we're helping everyone do the right thing. Organic food is better for our customers' health, and it's better for the environment. Organic food has been found to be more nutritious, and it is grown or raised without any of the harmful petro-chemicals that are found in high doses on conventionally grown food. Pesticides and herbicide residues stay on food, even after washing, and can cause serious harm to your health. Chemical fertilizers destroy soil tilth and depend on an oil-based economy that is not sustainable. By using organic food for your catered meals, you are voting with your dollars to change the way food is produced.

We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the OC Mixer!

Copperwillow Paper Studio

New phone number: 310-836-6004

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

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!
