I was invited to shoot Hillary’s VERY UNIQUE bridal shower at the Milestone Culinary Arts Center. I’ve passed by there so many times – being an avid Chuy’s patron and all – but I had never noticed it. Imagine my surprise when I walked into culinary heaven! The theme of the shower was all about cooking, of course, and it included an Iron Chef competition as part of the fun! And, boy, was it fun!
Each team received the following secret ingredients: graham cracker crumbs, cranberries, white chocolate and blood oranges.
They could also use additional ingredients to create their dessert.

Hillary’s grandmother was the go-to person for suggestions & preparation help.
I have never seen a blood orange being sliced. Blood orange, indeed.
Cranberries cooking.
Hillary & her mom, proud of their graham cracker crust.

The blue team’s Scheurich Tart. Yummy.
The white team’s Red Hot Tower of Love dessert. Yummy, part 2.

White team at the judges table. That’s Jenna holding the dessert- she’s the reason I was there. What a sweet thing to do for your friend!

Hillary opened her presents. I thought it was so cute the way her feet touched the ground.
Guests looking at her flatware gift.
Crate & Barrel loves bubble wrap.
And this lovely guest loves her gift for being on the winning dessert team. The white team won by a tiny margin.
