It's almost 11pm and I can't sleep. I have a 7:30am meeting tomorrow morning. This weekend is going to be exciting and I am sure I will be wiped out! On Saturday my uncle is having a grand opening party for his new dental office. I plan on making a white fondant cake in a shape of a molar. Surprisingly I have not asked him what the name of the new office is. So I just sent an email out requesting for it. I am not sure how I will decorate the tooth yet. I will have to make this tomorrow night!
On Sunday my husband and I are throwing his parents a small surprise 30th Anniversary Party at Munner’s place. Munner is Jon’s great-grandmother. I just adore her! Jon’s parents will be home late Saturday night. They took a week long cruise in Hawaii. So it might take some convincing to get them over to Munner’s place, but I am sure that will not be a problem. Here is the menu that I’ve put together for about a dozen attendees:
Cake:
Two fondant cakes. I will make my own white fondant and decorate with little white dots all over it. The base of the cake will be a rim of pearls. I’ve decided to use pearls because the 30th year anniversary theme is pearls and diamonds! His mom’s favorite color roses are yellow. So I will top each of the cakes with lots of yellow roses! I plan on going to Michael’s after work tomorrow to pick up a tier fixture for the cakes. One cake will be chocolate and the other will be lemon cake with raspberry preserves!
I don’t plan on making any appetizers because I plan on making lots of main dishes for everyone to eat!
-Roasted vegetables (not sure what veggies yet, but we’ll see what’s fresh when I go to the market on Saturday)
-Italian meatballs in meat sauce with spaghetti pasta
-Shrimp Alfredo with linguine pasta
-Italian bread with my special garlic spread
And last but not least is my challenge of the week… homemade ravioli with chicken, spinach, and Parmesan filling in spinach Alfredo sauce!
It’s getting late and it’s time for me to go lay in bed and dream of cooking…
But don’t forget to come back here for photos and the scoop on this weekend’s events!

Aini???
So one thing before I forget. I did not see any Alfredo sauces in Italian menus.... I think that is an American thing... Closest I saw was cream/gorgonzola sauces. Delicious! Can't wait to try it.
I guess I have to make red curry paste for u and then u make crispy pla for me?
