Celebration of Life
As Caterers, we work with people at the extremes in their lives, the high points like Weddings, Birthdays and Anniversaries. The parties to celebrate goals and accomplishes. Graduations weather it is for a first degree or a 4h degree. Events when people have reached a comfort point and want to celebrate friendships by having a dinner party to be with friends and loved ones. But we also serve in the low points, which are equally as important to our clients. This past week we were hired to do a memorial, which took place at The Boston Athenaeum. The Client requested a High Tea, which had significant meaning to them and theirs. You should celebrate life everyday you live it!

Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health
In 1995 before I even started my company, I was sought out to help with Codman Square Health Center’s fund raiser, “Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health.” It was an ingenious idea of Ashley McCumber who created this event. The idea is they would recruit local celebrity men and pair them up with restaurants to serve the food. I did the entire back end organizing from the tables and linen, to the tent, to answering the restaurants questions and providing them with anything they needed. My team is in charge of layout, set up and breakdown of the event. During the event we run all the bars and keep the place looking presentable. This year we did a cupcake themed table and boy they were the best cup cakes I ever had. Lemon Meringue, Boston Cream with Chocolate Glaze, Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting, Chocolate Dulce with Carmel Mascarpone and Carmel Apple Cupcake… Yum yum YUM. My staff love working this event. The people are great and it is a feel good place to be. I want to thank all those who participate and donated; it is such a worthy cause. Here is a picture of our over sized Cup Cake. Thank you Staff of Above and Beyond Catering for making Codman Square Health Center’s Event Flawless.
