How to Pull off a Supreme Graduation Party

School’s out forever! Any graduation is a huge accomplishment, whether it’s graduating from elementary school, high school, or college. A graduation represents the product of hard work as well as the beginning of a new adventure. So you better make sure the graduation party is perfect.

Fan Masks: The absolute, most important thing to have at a graduation party, no matter what, is a massive fan mask of the graduate (pictured above). Treat the graduation party like a high-energy basketball game and celebrate! An added benefit of these freakishly large masks? They embarrass the heck out of the graduate.

Polaroid Booth: Polaroid cameras are excellent for capturing the mood of a graduation party. Beyond that, young folks love the nostalgic gadgets. Set up a polaroid station with pens and a stocked Polaroid camera. Party-goers will get to take selfies and write kind messages on the photos.

 

 

Rossmoor Pastries Treats: I know, I know, I really hyped up the fan masks. But now let’s be pragmatic: the actual most important aspect of a party (besides the people, of course) is the dessert. Whether it’s the cute grad-cap-shaped cookies, the indulgent cupcakes, or the show-stopping specialty cake, desserts can transcend a graduation party to the next level. Rossmoor Pastries is your safest option for securing the most impressive, beautiful, and delicious graduation desserts.

3 Things Mom Wants to Do for Mother’s Day (With a Dessert Pairing)

Mother’s Day is sneaking up. Here are 3 things mom wants to do for Mother’s Day. We also added relevant Rossmoor Pastries treat pairings for each activity.

 

1. Eat a Home-Cooked Dinner: Does she care that you’re a terrible cook? No, it’s the thought that counts! Well, unless you’re just that bad — kidding. Treat your mom to her favorite meal prepared by her favorite person. Not only will you avoid the Mother’s Day rush at restaurants, she’ll appreciate a meal from you far more than one from a stranger. Just make sure to cook something special – save the Spaghetti-O’s for another night. Don’t stress about the dessert, we have you covered. Rossmoor Pastries’ fresh-baked Red Velvet Cake perfectly caps any delicious meal.

 

 

2. Go on a Hike: Whether your mother is the matronly equivalent of Bear Grylls or abhors any form of exercise, she’ll love going on a hike or walk with you. We recommend taking an easy hike and bringing a small cooler filled with picnic foods. Be sure to make room for some of Roosmoor Pastries Mini Fruit Tarts! They’re a sweet pick-me-up, yet a light and refreshing snack – perfect for an afternoon hike.

 

 

3. Go to the Movies: OK, so your mom isn’t a hiker – or a walker. All good, same with my mom. In this case, take her to the movies! See if there are any movies out she might be interested in. If your mom isn’t into superhero movies and action flicks, check your local arthouse movie theatre. Once you find a movie your mom would love to watch with you, be sure to sneak in some Rossmoor Pastries M&M Cookies.

Backyard BBQ Essentials

Summer Backyard BBQ Essentials

At Rossmoor we understand the importance gathering with family and friends to create fond memories all summer, we also happen to know how to throw a pretty decent party. So, we complied a few of our favorite tricks to throw together the perfect summertime get together.

  • Decor: Summer is the best season for outdoor decor. Keep it simple. Gingham table cloths, brightly colored florals, mason jars with tea candles and a few strands of string lights. Quick set up & easy to take down after your guests leave.
  • Activities: No one wants to go to a party that is overly planned to too many games and events. However, you don’t want your guests to get bored. Be sure to stock up (or make your own) fun backyard games. Cornhole, ring toss, frisbee, the possibilities are endless. A few of our favorite party games can be found here
  • Food/Drink Station: An outdoor space can be less directional than indoor so setting up stations creates a sense of organization. Having a designated food and drink area makes it clear to your guests that they can eat and drink whenever they are ready, no need to wait to be served!
  • Eats: Our favorite BBQ foods also happen to be finger foods. Who wants to deal with washing a ton of silverware or ruining the environment with plastic cutlery? Keep the menu simple, just like the decor. Hotdogs, sliders, fruit salads. Find some of our favorite food and drink recipes here.
  • Dessert: Plan dessert ahead of time. You will not want to be in the kitchen making an elaborate dish while your guests are there. One of our favorite is a cookie-wich. Stop by The Shoppe and grab a dozen of our signature M&M cookies and a tub of your favorite French vanilla ice cream. We promise it won’t disappoint.

These backyard BBQ essentials are sure to make your next summer soiree one to remember.

2018 Wedding Cake Updates

For 2018 our wedding cakes are one better.  Our new wedding cake standard now includes four decadent layers of moist cake and three delicious layers of filling. This is in contrast to the industry standard three layers of cake with two layers of filling. Every bite has a better ratio of cake to filling – taste the difference. If you’re looking for a celebration cake, our celebration cakes have three moist layers of cake and two delicious layers of filling.

We also now are offering a gluten-friendly white cake option. The reason this offering is only “gluten-friendly” is because we advise all gluten sensitive customers that these cakes are still produced in a gluten processing bakery. We have been working on perfecting this recipe for you and are so excited to finally give you this option!

A look into the pastry: Buttercream Frosting..it’s real.

At Rossmoor we pride ourselves in the freshness and lightness of our products and all their ingredients. Specifically- our buttercream frosting. We have found the perfect blend of sweetness, the perfect smooth (almost soft) consistency and our secret is pretty simple: it’s real.

 

Who would have thought just using “real” ingredients would make the difference?! We don’t think it’s rocket science but we are happy it works.

 

Unlike competitors our frosting does not come out of a packet. It’s texture is not granulated but smooth instead and rather than overtake our cakes with it’s sweetness it compliments it. It’s natural off white coloring is due to the fact that butter is well…not white and neither is all natural vanilla!

 

Rossmoor follows the “old style” recipe of buttercream frosting which focuses on using whole ingredients rather than fillers. We are extremely proud of our daily fresh, whole and real supplies that keep our pastries and cakes tasting as great as they do!

 

We know when you try it, you will taste the difference.
