twelvebaskets — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:06:22 +0000

* PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE: THURSDAY, FEB 9TH *

Please help us out and RSVP as soon as possible to rsvp@twelvebasketscatering.com so that we know you’re coming!

Though the snow is beautiful and exciting, it has caused a major dilemma! We are so sorry to say that we must postpone our event that is supposed to happen tomorrow, Tuesday, January 17th. Due to the snow and poor weather forecast, we think it would be better to change our event to a more transportation friendly date. We have coordinated with 415 Westlake, and have decided to move the Open House to Thursday, February 9th hosted at the same time, 5:00pm to 9:00pm! We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, but do hope that you will be able to make it.

Please feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have. We would love and greatly appreciate another RSVP from you if you are still able to come.

Thank you again for your understanding,

The team at Twelve Baskets Catering, Jan 16th

Target & David Stark’s Produce Launch Event

twelvebaskets — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:54:47 +0000

On October 4th, we had the unique pleasure and honor of catering Target’s Westlake Park produce launch event, designed by none other than renowned New York event designer David Stark, celebrating the unveiling of Target’s new fresh produce line in their local stores.

We served fresh-squeezed lemonade and hot spiced apple cider from giant fruit-shaped “pods” to downtown Seattle pedestrians throughout the day while Target passed out gift bags of fresh produce. Later in the day, we prepared and handed out pears & apple crostadas, complete with printed recipes for future baking. Additionally, Top Chef judge and Food & Wine Magazine event coordinator Gail Simmons hosted a cook-off with local chefs Ericka Burke (Volunteer Park Cafe) & Joshua Henderson (Skillet).

The following photos were taken by our own Jaffrey Bagge – when we receive more photos from the event, we will post them in an additional blog post. Enjoy!

Jennifer & Mark’s Sanders Mansion June Wedding

twelvebaskets — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 17:45:15 +0000

The rain may have done its best, but nothing could dampen the spirits of the bridal party and guests at this classy Sanders Mansion wedding. Rain started pouring down just before the ceremony, which had to be moved last-minute to underneath the permanent tent near the mansion; spirits remained high, however, throughout the evening and everyone had a great time. The DJ also played at least 5 Hall & Oates songs throughout the night, a time-honored recipe for good times!
