But in a good way. . .

I got a call today to do a Bat Mitzvah cake for a very well known, well respected family in my city. The party has "so far" 340 confirmed RSVPs. icon_eek.gif I have to get with the caterer tomorrow to determine the number of servings, but it's obviously going to be a mammoth cake. The theme is photography and the arts, which I think will be very fun to do. The only thing that makes me a bit nervous about the whole thing is that I'm not Jewish nor really familiar with all of the guidelines associated with Kosher/parve baking. However, the caterer said she's more than happy to answer any questions I have about it, and I have a Kosher kitchen to use. I'm very excited about it!

Way to go!! You'll blow them away! Just think of all of the referrals you'll get. That is a lot of RSVP's. And having a kosher kitchen is a big plus. Also, meeting with the caterer is a great thing. You can forge a great working bond and get some work referrals from her/him. Good luck. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Congratulations!

That is VERY exciting! I wish I had some advice to offer about Kosher stuff, but it's a mystery to me.

GOOD LUCK!!!! icon_biggrin.gif
