I am helping out a fellow co-worker with a fundraiser. It is a Gala to be held from 5:30 - 8:30. The following are my estimates for food. Can you look over and tell me if over/underestimated? THANKS!
Fruit Tray(s) - I used your estimates 5 pc/person a mixture of orange slices, pineapple, grapes, cantaloupe adn strawberries any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm just not sure how to adjust amounts since there are so many options. |

I'm sorry, after reading back over my post. I need to correct: veggies are NOT consumed heavily here |

Hi, Meg, Good effort. The zinger here is the 5:30 to 8:30 time slot which means that most people will come wanting a whole dinner's worth of food.
I would do some increases: Poundcake is a low popularity dessert. If I were doing a gala, I would do 100 each of 4 small (2-3 bite) bars, such as a brownie, a lemon bar, a chesecake bite and a fruit oatmeal bar. This will please people and leave them talking about it. You need to add a dinner coffee service, see the beverage planning page. |
