My sister’s favourite food is butter

So we themed a whole meal around it for her birthday in the summer

Homemade focaccia, local bakery bought fresh white bread, various cheeses, and then the butter.

Loaded compound butter, the base is President butter with parsley, chives and confit garlic. One side is loaded with smoked and hot paprika, crispy onions, roasted peppers and honey. The other has lemon zest, parmesan, black pepper, extra herbs and extra garlic.

Then we have (all homemade by my partner):
Vanilla cake, chocolate cake, lemon cake, carrot cake, coffee cake, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla shortbread, lemon biscuits, vanilla buttercream, chocolate buttercream, lemon buttercream, lemon curd and then a tin of Carnations caramel because who's got the time?!

Bonus toppings of fresh strawberries and raspberries, sprinkles and marshmallows.
Not featured is the quadruple chocolate cake that followed (and was swiftly put away for a few hours after how rich this all was!)

We've put on a few spreads in our time but this was by far the most fun, and maybe the most work! Everyone got to take home left overs. And I found a new found respect for vegetables when I had them the next day.
