Starry Nights Newsletter

Summertime means cakes!

It's summertime at Starry Nights! That means weddings and company picnics galore. We are almost fully booked for the season, so if you are just now thinking of summer catering, please contact us as soon as possible- we'd hate to miss out on your celebration!

Speaking of celebrating, Starry Nights Catering & Events celebrated one complete, and successful, year in business in April, with a Client Appreciation Dinner on May 2nd. All of our past year's clients, students, and renters were invited for dinner and cake on us. It's been an incredible year, and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

If there's one question we get asked more than any other, it's

"When are you having cake decorating classes?"

Well, we have an answer!

This summer we are offering a 3-part course on Cake Decorating. You can take the entire course, or just one or two of the classes. Space is limited to just 10 students, so please call or register online us to make reservations as soon as possible. (who knows, if we get the same huge response as last time, we might schedule a second set of classes...)

Summer also means...reruns!

...And if any of you missed Chef Matt's 15 minutes of fame (OK, more like 3 minutes) on The Travel Channel's "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" back in January, be sure to tune in Monday July 2nd at 8:00pm or 11:00pm when it is scheduled to be rebroadcast on The Travel Channel.

Have a great summer!
