Bridal brunch for 20
Suzanne 12/20/13	I am preparing a bridal brunch for 20 ppl, all women, a range of ages. We are doing bagels with cream cheese, whitefish salad, egg salad. I was going to do a relish tray to go with, including onion slices, tomato slices, cucumber slices, lemon wedges, capers & olives. About how much for the relish items? Also, I was going to do a bundt cake - do I need 1 or 2 if that is the only "dessert"? What if there are also petit fours? (The menu also includes: orzo salad with roasted veg, potato casserole, strata, winter fruit, pumpkin bread. Thanks so much!!!
ellen 12/20/13	This is a big menu for 20 people, and does not even out as well as a larger group would, so you will have some left in order to have what everyone wants for first choice. bagels, 2 dozen cream cheese, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds whitefish salad, 2 1/2 quarts egg salad, 2 quarts onion slices, 2 pounds, slice, soak overnight in sugar water tomato slices, 3 pounds cucumber slices, 3 large lemon wedges, 10-12 lemons capers,1 1/4 cups olives, 2 1/2 cups, pitted whole orzo salad with roasted veg, potato casserole, strata, I would do only 2 of these, 2 9x13 each winter fruit, use fruit tray page, scant tray for 25 pumpkin bread, 2-3 loaves bundt cake, 2 if only dessert, 1 with other bites If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a quarter per guest, to support this site. Thanks, and happy holidays.
