Recently, Tasteful Temptations was asked to prepare food for a photo shoot that will be used for a national advertising campaign.  We were excited to take on this project and prepare whatever kind of food they wanted.

Here is the photo gallery of the final photos that will used in that company’s advertising campaign:

We’ve got a few good testimonials recently and we decided to post a voicemail that was truly great! This was a great wedding and everyone had a blast! Listen by clicking the link below:

Brian,

I just wanted to thank you again for the great job you and Laura did on my son’s rehearsal dinner. You are both easy to work with and very professional. I appreciate the fact that you are both sensitive to the desires of your clients but not afraid to give advice concerning other alternatives for improving our evening. With your delicious food, advice and planning the entire evening went off without a hitch in spite of some unseasonably hot weather, which moved the cocktails inside.  The meal was delicious. We received many compliments from our guests on the superb dinner. In addition, the service was excellent. I can’t say enough good things about your staff. They were efficient and omnipresent without being obtrusive. They even helped my wife with her table decorations when their work load allowed.

I’ll be happy to recommend you, Laura and Tasteful Temptations to anyone at any time. I’m copying Jane Bozza, the bride’s mother.  Jane lives on St Simons and may know of someone who can use your services. Good luck to you. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Mit Wood

We recently got together a sampling of our cake photos from past events and put it up on the website!  We have baked many wedding cakes that our bride and groom’s have personally picked out.  We also put cakes together for special occasions such as Georgia Bulldog games, birthday parties, and executive events.  We love a challenge – so check out the cakes page and contact us if you would like a special cake at your next event here in the Golden Isles!

We recently catered a wedding here on St Simons Island and here is what they had to say about our service! Thanks Lindsay!

Hello Brian and Laura,

I hope ya’ll are doing well! I just want to thank ya’ll for EVERYTHING you both did to make our wedding absolutely PERFECT!
Everyone at our wedding thought the food was absolutely amazing! We’ve had more compliments than you can imagine! Wes and I truly appreciated the “to-go-box” ya’ll made for us too! We enjoyed eating that after we got to our condo! The kids meals were a big hit too! I am so glad ya’ll recommended that to us! All of the children loved their special food!

The floral arrangements and bouquets were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Your attention to detail with the decorations and food display made all the difference in the world! I appreciate all of the hard work ya’ll did! You both really put our minds at ease!

I have already recommended ya’ll to several people who are considering SSI for their wedding, but I hope you will feel free to pass my contact information along to help you guys in any way! Ya’ll were the best decision we made for our wedding day!!

I cannot thank ya’ll enough!

We had a wonderful time at our second year participating in the Taste of Glynn Fundraiser!  We were so blessed to have beautiful weather for our Poolside Location!  We brought our Vidalia Onion, Sweet Corn and Apple Wood Smoked Bacon Dip in Individual Bread Baskets, Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass with Soba Noodles and Julienned Vegetables, and Classic Bananas Foster over Vanilla Ice Cream with and Almond Tuille Cookie.  We had such a good time visiting with familiar faces and some new friends.   We are already looking forward to next year’s event!!

We just put up a few pictures of recent cakes and other desserts that we have done.   We love to make cakes that fit your wedding or event!  No challenge is too intimidating for us to conquer!

We started off February with an Open House for Joseph David Advertising in their new location by Ace Garden Center on SSI.  Friday we had a three part party at the Jane Holmes Estate on SSI.  It consisted of a “Welcome Reception” of 100 guest then a smaller reception and plated three course dinner for 140 in a Clear Top Tent provided by BeachView Tent Rentals.  The menu consisted of a layered Mozzarella and Tomato Salad Course, Artichoke Truffle Butter Souffle Crusted Beef Tenderloin and Herb Seared Chilean Sea Bass for Entree and Individual Key Lime Tartlettes for Dessert.

We had a great time at the Jekyll Island Bridal Show.   We brought wonderful new hors d’oeurves for everyone to taste!!

We catered GS Publishers Annual Luncheon Meeting at the AW Jones Heritage center at the Lighthouse on St Simons.  This was our second year and we enjoyed the people and the food!!

Friday night was The Grand at St Simons.  It was the Owners’ Annual Cocktail Party.  Everybody loved the food and beverage.  A great time was had by all.  This was our second year with this function as well!! A smashing success!!

Welcome to the new Tasteful Temptations website!  We have recently re-designed our website and added this blog to give updates about our services.  Please contact Brian or Laura about how we can tailor our catering services to suit your needs.

This weekend we had a private party here on St. Simons Island.  We were requested by the host to prepare an Argentine Themed Menu and we were ready for the challenge!  The hors d’oeuvres included Beef and Potato Empanadas, Ham and Ricotta Sorrentinos, and Chicken Taquitos.  The entree was a Steak and Lamb Asado with Chimichurri and finally, the dessert was a Tres Leche Cake with Berries.  Everyone enjoyed the food and a festive evening! Buenos Noches!!

We love a culinary challenge!
