After making 18 flans, we had a hard time finding were to store them. We ended up putting some in a cooler.
The cheese flans were decorated with caramelized blackberries and strawberries
We then used caramel spirals and chocolate to make them extra pretty, and coffee liquor was used to contrast the sweetness of the cheese flan.
Everybody was commenting on how pretty they looked.
A little girl saw the flans as we were setting them up. "Is that flan?" "Yes." "Wooooow! They look so pretty!" I think that was the best part of the whole crazy adventure. It made my heart smile.
We put extra effort on the special flan for the bride and groom. The strawberries were soaked in rum.
After this whole event, one of the chefs decided that there was only one way to eat the flan that we had saved for her.

Ok, good, But to make the blog a perfect one we could use a picture for each dish and the recipes (ingredients and proportions when needed are enough, don't need recipes for 200!!!)
Then, for some reason I though you were cooking for 40!! Wasn't it too expensive paying for all the "chefs", plus the food, plus, the rental service (cups plates etc)?
Great adventure and story, aren't you glad you are not a cook or in a service industry? Friends and family can empty their plates too and that's good enough satisfaction for me, without having to put up with the likes of the "power couple" and other similar species.
I apologize for not having pictures of each dish. I was way too busy to take them. The recipes, we decided to keep them secret.
We cooked for 150 people, of whom I knew maybe 5 people. The rest were stranger.
All the chefs were volunteers. We didn't get paid, except with Chef Jackets.
