Greetings from Bombay …

The city of Bombay is colorful and festive, and has many interesting elements of design and decorative ornaments everywhere! Here are some photos of some things I thought were interesting – but simply put together… 

 

Spice Jars

These images were taken from hallways of the hotel that were made up of glass cases filled with yarn, each case having different color themes, again really simple, but pleasant aesthetically ….

Delicious Cookies … Delicious Fillings …

Here’s to comfort flavors, always nostalgic, classic, and delicious.. 

Our peanut butter cookies, are made with peanut butter dough and a yummy peanut butter filling, paired best with a tall glass of milk – the perfect midnight snack , or just another guilty pleasure ! 

Another cookie (one of my fave’s) is the ginger cookie with apple & cream filling,also  known as the Faisal cookie, this cookie is soft and slightly chewy on the inside complemented with the perfect apple cream filling .. absolutely mouth watering - and definitely popular with our regulars!

Events of the Week…

 

so glam...

so glam...

 

This weekend was “eventful” from a formal diplomatic event on thursday.. modern.. clean… and full of candles, george5 style leaning flowers… to our glam event on friday night… A seated dinner for 400 persons, not an easy task for design or service.. but we made it happen! The decoration was very over the top. using gold, teal and shades of turquoise.. all accented with purple roses, hyacinth, freesia, baby roses as well as thick leafy greens. Menus were customized and placed on plates as well as modern knotted ribbons for napkin holders.. The main flowers were on stands with candelabras placed on top of them, and these were set around the room next to high french wall panels with wallpaper and detailed mirrors.. lots of glamour and even more details.. everywhere!! The best thing about this event was the fact that the logisitics were taken care of well, seating was spaced, lighting was set perfectly, and the food was all served in time… we highly recommend seated dinners for your next events… they add a sophisticated twist to the usual buffet weddings.
