New York City caterer (and 2012 BizBash Innovator) Carla Ruben of Creative Edge Parties is offering a new dessert buffet just in time for the holiday season. On November 12, Ruben hosted an intimate pre-holiday luncheon to introduce her latest creations, including the company's "Bar Bar," a selection of bite-size brownies, blondies, and dessert bars in flavors such as peanut pretzel, Oreo cheesecake, and apple crumb displayed in repurposed desktop file sorters.
"I like to look at things in different ways," says Ruben, who also suggests using coffee table books as buffet risers and game boards or picture frames as serving trays. At the end of the luncheon, guests could place their handpicked assortment of bars in custom metal tins to take home as party favors.
