Cabell’s Mill Wedding Reception Teatime Catering

Wedding Cake with White Chocolate Curls

On a lovely warm spring afternoon this past Saturday May 30, 2015, Teatime Delicacies, Inc. catered a wedding reception at the charming Cabell’s Mill, one of Fairfax County Virginia’s Historic Property rentals http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/hprs/cabells.htm  Located in the wooded acres of Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Cabell’s Mill offers a spacious room with hardwood floors, deep window sills and a working fireplace.

 While outside an expansive terrace overlooks Big Rocky Run.  The mill provides a beautiful secluded setting for many special occasions here in the Washington DC and Northern Virginia suburbs.

Our menu featured passed Shooters of Roasted Butternut Squash and Corn Soup, Rissotto Manchego Tappas, and a display of Assorted Domestic and Imported Cheeses and Crackers including Brie with a Raspberry-Walnut-Cranberry Topping; Sharp Cheddar, Smokey Edam, and Goat Cheese with a Blueberry-Vanilla coating.

 With a larger guest count of 135, the bride and groom selected our Heavy Appetizer menu.  This is basically a utensil free menu that works very well for a catering event that has limited seating.  We scattered bistro tables throughout the property as guests are able to eat at chest high tables.
The main buffet also offered our Grilled Indonesian Chicken on Bamboo Skewers with Peanut Dipping Sauce; Grilled Sesame Flank Steak on Bamboo Skewers; Smoked Salmon Roulades; Fresh Vegetable Basket with Hollowed Cabbage Filled with Dip; Baked Artichoke, Parmesan and Spinach Dip; Zucchini Pancake with Melted Brie; and of course our Signature Fresh Fruit Arrangement with Seasonal Fruits.

 Our bar set up had some whimsy from the Signature Cocktail

 And of course, the wedding cake shown in the very first photo on this page.  The design is Ruth’s famous White Chocolate Curl Wedding Cake, accents of fresh flowers.  The cake itself was a yellow butter with an English Lemon Sour Cream Filling.  So refreshing on a warm spring evening.  Teatime caters another successful event! www.teatimeinc.com
