When We Did Pastry

On Saturday August 13th, the Secret Pickle Supper Club descended upon Bobbette and Belle for what has been described by more than one Pickler as “… the best Pickle ever!”.

Cocktail Hour @ Pastry Pickle

Playing with the themes of sweet and savoury, Matt’s menu was some of the best food we’ve had at Secret Pickle ever.  Of course, it didn’t hurt that it was also his first Pickle with a full professional kitchen on site.

Bobbette and Belle was a fantastic venue for the Pickle, a full kitchen for Matt and plenty of space for our guests.  Huge windows to the street and tables decorated with some of Bobbette & Belle sugar flower petals (which some picklers snacked on)


The night flowed smoothly from the Caviar & White Chocolate Mousse served on a Curry Blini which Matt designed to pair with the Bobbette & Belle Passion Blossom cocktail Caviar & white chocolate on a curry blini

to the dessert Tacos de Mole which was served with a custom Bobbette & Belle chipotle marshmallow made for evening.
