Mother’s Day

by Sabrina P, posted in Events, Holidays, Seasonal

Mother’s Day was an exciting time this year as the Ambrosia Team worked hard to celebrate the women who do it all!!!

Simply Smashing Events and Shannon Queen Photography hosted an amazing Mother’s Day Celebration Brunch at the EdenVale Winery for 12 local mothers in the Rogue Valley. The women were nominated and chosen for a full day of pampering: getting hair, nails, and makeup done at a local salon; a catered brunch; professional photos; and lots of take-home goodies.  We were thrilled to participate by spoiling the heck out of these ladies with our most decadent, organic gluten-free gourmet desserts!!!

The celebration was featured on Catch My Party and KDRV Newswatch 12

One of our clients also hosted a Mother’s Day brunch, and she ordered several delicious selections off of our Spring Menu to serve to her guests. Here is what she had to say about her order: “Sabrina at Ambrosia Bakery did a wonderful job in providing fantastic food for my brunch in honor of Mother’s Day. We had the blackberry muffins, lavender vanilla scones, green tea cupcakes, and the asparagus quiche. I love how she uses the best natural ingredients and avoids gluten and provides many alternatives to her already amazing menu. All my guests and I enjoyed everything and the presentation was amazing! Thanks Sabrina!”  We think that and the pictures she submitted says it all!!! 😀
