ML's upshern is coming!
I have to admit planning for ML's upshern has been so much fun. We are doing a night dessert upshern for logistic reasons. ML has EE- better known as eosinophilic esophagitis. Right now he is stable on an elimination diet so he can not have a number of foods. He avoids all the top 8 allergens (dairy, soy, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, and eggs) as well as barley, sesame, and white potatoes. ML has never had a safe cake. I have tried and failed so many times! So, I was able to arrange the bakery Heaven Mills in Buro Park to make a safe cake, cupcakes, and choc. chip cookies. I am doing all the other desserts. We are not expecting a huge crowd but a nice sized crowd. Maybe around 60. So far I have blue cotton candy (ML's favorite!), choc. covered marshmallows on sticks (all homemade), apricot quinoa chews, blueberry spice crumb bars, spiced sweet potato blondies, pumpkin pie brownies, rice crispy bars, cookie dough scoops dipped in choc. on sticks, and cut fruit. I think its plenty. At least I hope so!

Mazal tov! It will be a lovely simcha regardless of the amount of food, just because of the special people celebrating!
ReplyDeleteOur recent experience with a dessert reception was that I had way too much food, even though I thought we might not have enough.
I think when people are standing they eat less, too. Especially when they come after a meal.
