On September 23, the Los Angeles-based floral and event styling firm Lilla Bello celebrated its 10th anniversary with a bash at Bergamot Station arts center in Santa Monica, California. Schaffer's Genuine Foods provided the catering, which included an edible sweet garden inspired by Lilla Bello's floral designs. Servers scooped up desserts for guests, then drizzled the desserts from mini watering cans filled with crème anglaise, salted caramel, and chocolate sauce.

Known for his innovative approach to plating, Bob Spiegal is in constant demand to cater prestigious New York events, such as the Whitney Museum’s fall gala, New York Philharmonic’s opening in the park, and the Cooper Union gala. He embraces the idea of one-bite food served without traditional silverware and plates, making Pinch a go-to caterer for unconventional presentations.
Formaggi, prosciutto, salumi foccacia, and Italian pickles served on a clipboard
"We wanted guests to have the same experience [of a traditional trattoria], but at an event. The clipboard was logical because it held the butcher’s paper, which had the menu printed on it."
On November 14, Pets Are Worth Saving hosted its annual pet-friendly gala, the Fur Ball, at the Drake in Chicago. The event had snacks for humans as well as for the four-legged guests, and a "Dog Buffet" offered crystal goblets of boiled chicken and rice and pureed carrots and green beans.
