\u00a0A Small Dose Of Comfort<\/h6>\n

If your reception menu or cocktail appetizer menu calls for family-style fare, consider a proven crowd-pleaser like these mashed potato and short rib “martinis” by Caf\u00e9 Natalie Catering<\/a>. These smaller servings bring huge flavor, and a toppings station featuring chives, shredded cheese or bacon bits adds a fun and interactive element your guests will enjoy.<\/p>\n

Sweet Nothings<\/h6>\n

Churrasco’s<\/a> alfajores \u2013 creamy dulce de leche sandwiched between tender and crumbly little Peruvian cookies \u2013 are the perfect ending to your appetizer menu.
