The Seasons of Gratitude and Generosity
Lindenwood CC
I was commissioned for a stewardship campaign.The floral
arrangements, tablecloths and the beautiful room setting were
all provided for me. I created the treats and the tablescapes.

Pussywillow for Spring
mini-brownies w/pate a choux
Water Lilies for Summer
lily pad cookies, royal flowers, swans
Wheat for Autumn
cheddar sticks, bread sculpture
for
Magnolia for Winter
chocolate showflakes & gingerbread
The lily pads before the edges were
painted blue to match the 'water'. The lily
pad part is brushed on before baking to
ensure freshness. No waiting for icing to
dry before storing.
Tangy cheddary cheese sticks
resembling wheat.
Mini brownies...
...Adorned with pate a choux pussywillow
Cream cheese butter cookies
flavored with orange zest and lovely
Saigon cinnamon. Is that swan
doing the side stroke?
Bread sculpture ~ one part simple syrup two parts flour.
Fragrant gingerbread sleighs
adorned with magnolias
Royal icing water lilies
White
chocolate
snowflakes
on gold  
foil.
The library is so tastefully decorated,
lavish with books, spacious and
Southern. The ambiance was warm
and inviting. My photography does not
do it justice.

Many thanks to Byrle who arranged
the tables and chose the tablecloths
independently before I arrived. She
could not have chosen a more perfect
green tablecloth for the summer lily
pond! The winter tablecloth had
snowflakes on it.

The Bible verse done in pate a choux.
Arranged on a huge antique piano.

For what is your life?
It is even a vapour that
appeareth for a little time
and then vanisheth away.
James 4:14

The idea was for each of the four legs of the verse to go on a table with
the 'vanisheth' part on the winter table so the chocolate snowflake would  
melt in our mouths effectively realistically
vanishing as real snowflakes do
as real life does.
