Guests will walk from station to station, sampling different sauces and cooking some of their food in bouillon. The first project was to make personalized decoupage plates for each guest. Then, to accompany those plates, monogrammed fondue sticks. To decorate one of the main tables Kelly and Jeanne create flower arrangements accented with vegetables. Tyler steps up in the kitchen assisting in the preparation of Welsh Rarebit Sauce, Lemon Shallot Butter and prepping beef Satay-style for cooking in Court Bouillon.
