A Meal with Mulberry: Party Edition

February 12, 2018 | Posted in Recipes

In a previous post we introduced you to Mulberry in a dinner setting with Spinach Salad splashed with Gorgonzola Dressing, Pappardelle Carbonara, and a Dark Chocolate Bomb Cake.  Today we will be mimicking that meal but with a light, bright party-inspired twist.

To begin our festive meal, we threw together a Rainbow Salad with freshly made Citrus Vinaigrette.  The array of bright and cheerful veggies look stunning captured in a Mulberry Large Bistro Bowl for serving.

From-scratch Macaroni and Cheese is always a crowd-pleaser and just right for a fun-filled celebration.  For smaller groups, serve these creamy noodles in the lively Hostess Bowl.  But for bigger crowds, we recommend making a double batch and serving it in our lovely Covered Casserole

What’s a party without cake?  We went all out with Confetti Cake a la mode.  For full-on nostalgia, pick up the boxed mix and bake it right in our Rectangular Baker.  Frost, drench with sprinkles and serve it up on our adorable Crescent Plates with a scoop of classic vanilla ice cream. 

How do you plan on using Mulberry?  We think it looks equally gorgeous in dark, sophisticated settings and light, bright, and cheerful ones.
