I was asked to cater my first big event, The Starkey Hearing Foundation pre gala house party. The initial order was 400 but after the success from the first night, I got a request the next morning to deliver 100 more.

Preparing for the Starkey Pre-Gala House Party
This event is one of my favorites – not only is it an amazing cause (helping the world hear)but it is packed with sooo much star power. I attended both the pre-party and the gala. It was a blast…the pre-party theme was Country Glam…and if you see pictures below, I guess “glam” is up for interpretation…ha!

Me and Lauren - you should've seen her sparkly boots - this girl knows how to do Country Glam!
The best part though (besides dancing with Miley Cirus) was seeing people eat my lollicakes and ohhhing-ahhhing over them. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face all night. Of course, I didn’t bring my own camera – I wasn’t sure if that would be “cool” or not.. from now on out – it’s coming with me everyone. I was standing next to Kevin Sorbo (yep- Hercules) giving him the lowdown on all the flavors- that would’ve been a nice picture! More lessons learned!
