Easter has arrived at Daniel et Daniel! Stop by this week to pick up some Easter goodies or give us a call to place your order! Below are some of our Easter classics as well as a few new ideas (Easter Chickadee Cheesecake Lollipops, anyone?). Of course, we will also have Hot Cross Buns available all week.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching! This year, instead of toiling in your kitchen to put together the perfect soufflé, let us take care of the cooking for you… We won’t tell if you don’t.
Roy Thomson Hall, Saturday, August 27, 2011
“It looked like Hallowe’en in there!” chuckled a guest in full stage whisper as she exited the funeral service for Jack Layton into the North Lobby of Roy Thomson Hall. The service had just ended and I looked at her to see her expression as the tone was light and, well, giddy. She was already busy popping a mini Beef Wellington into her mouth as were the others around her, nodding in happy agreement. Her statement was without guile; it couldn’t have been with any—she herself was wearing a somber black outfit that was accented with an orange Fascinator-like hat. Her comment had just echoed the optimism of the ceremony. She craned her neck, scanned the crowd and asked, “Where can I get a drink?” of the now empty-trayed, blonde waiter.
Our VP Russell Day writes about his BoxedToronto experience.
Thinking inside the box
I was invited to dinner this Wednesday by my boss, Daniel Megly, co-founder of Daniel et Daniel Event Creation & Catering. He had been invited to dinner at “Boxed Toronto” and had an extra seat. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, of course I said yes—people don’t typically invite the owners of Daniel et Daniel to dinner at McDonald’s. I knew immediately that this would be a treat.
In the summer of 2010 we were approached by POP Kollaborative to cater an office opening party for Corus Entertainment. Initial planning was very hush-hush as the event was to be new and fabulous. Our menu had to reflect a “MINDJAM” theme; something spontaneous, unexpected and most of all spectacular. It soon became clear that this was a unique opportunity. As our VP Russell Day described our initial meetings with POP,
“We realized that we had been given a once-in-a-career opportunity: to be able to use every freaky idea we’d ever had!”
