In Part 3 of this dynamic culinary series (prior iterations presented at Cater+Event), Stick It. Spoon It. Put It in a Glass, we take the art of small bites to the next level—focusing on refined execution, bold flavor layering, and high-impact presentation designed for today’s catering and event landscape.

This class explores how to transform familiar ingredients into visually striking, perfectly portioned bites served on skewers, composed on spoons, and layered in glassware. Built for chefs, operators, and culinary creatives, this session emphasizes efficiency, scalability, and profitability without sacrificing creativity.

What you’ll learn:
· Advanced bite composition
· How to build balanced, restaurant-quality flavors in a single bite using contrast, texture, and temperature.
· Three formats, endless possibilities

Master the structure and execution of:
· Sticks (skewered, bold, and interactive)
· Spoons (composed, refined, and flavor-forward)
· Glassware (layered, visual, and experience-driven)
