As the temperatures have been getting hotter (with the exception of this week), I have been thinking of alternatives to the traditional late afternoon or evening gathering. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Why not through a reception centered around my favorite meal, brunch? The temperatures would be cooler and the concept unique. Pour up morning cocktails including mimosas, poinsettias, bloody marys, and screwdrivers. Feature omelet stations, cereal bars, and yogurt parfaits for the main meal. Start the whole thing off though by passing mini danish, bite sized quiche, and my favorite idea, mini pancakes. This miniaturized version can be made with all your favorite fillings, topped with fresh fruit, maple syrup, and served to your guests on a skewer. The bite sized treat is made adorable by its size and is sure to surprise guests with it's originality. Because, let's be honest, what's better than pancakes and mimosas?
