The Southern Table, Set & Ready

Chicken Salad Finger Sandwiches

Slow-poached chicken, Duke’s mayonnaise, celery, sweet pickle relish, and a whisper of onion on crustless white bread, cut into three elegant fingers. This is the one people ask for by name.

Pecan variation available upon request.

Cucumber & Cream Cheese Sandwiches

Paper-thin cucumber slices on crustless bread with herbed cream cheese — dill, chive, a touch of garlic. Simple, cool, and absolutely non-negotiable at a Southern shower.

Closed in fingers or open-faced rounds — your preference.

Pimento Cheese Sandwiches

House-made pimento cheese — sharp cheddar, Duke’s, roasted pimento peppers, a little cayenne — on crustless bread. The Masters in sandwich form. No party in the South is complete without it.

Also available on celery sticks or crackers.

Deviled Eggs

Duke’s, sweet pickle, dry mustard, finished with paprika and fresh chive. The Southern party table is simply incomplete without them. Presented on a lined tray, ready to serve.

Smoked paprika variation or crumbled bacon topping available upon request.

Cheese Straws

Sharp cheddar, cayenne, butter, and patience. Baked in long crisp straws and packed in tins or displayed on trays. The cocktail hour staple every Southern grandmother kept in a tin on the counter.

Also available as pecan-cheddar rounds.

Ham Biscuits

Bite-sized buttermilk biscuits split and filled with thin-sliced country ham and honey butter or Dijon. The kind of thing that disappears before you’ve finished setting out the napkins.

Benedictine Sandwiches

A Louisville original on every proper Southern spread — cream cheese blended with cucumber and onion, a signature pale jade hue. Cool, delicate, and utterly addictive on crustless white bread.

Tomato Sandwiches

An honest summer tomato, Duke’s mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, white bread with the crusts cut off. The simplest thing, and nothing more Southern. We will not make these with a bad tomato.

Local tomatoes only. Ask about current seasonal availability.

Petit Fours

Layers of moist almond-scented pound cake filled with apricot jam, enrobed in smooth poured fondant, finished with delicate decorations. Each one a tiny, perfect bite.

Custom colors and decorations available — please request at order time. 30 days’ notice minimum.

Lane Cake Squares

Alabama’s great contribution — white cake layers filled with a bourbon-spiked frosting of egg yolks, coconut, pecans, and raisins, cut into elegant squares. The recipe Harper Lee put in a novel for good reason.

Pecan Pralines

New Orleans–style pralines made with brown sugar, cream, butter, and Georgia pecans — poured onto parchment and left to set into cloudy, crumbling, impossibly good rounds. The candy of the South.

Cream Cheese Mints

The pastel mints that appeared in a crystal dish at every Southern shower and church reception for a hundred years. Cream cheese, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, pressed into molds.

Custom colors to match your event palette. 30 days’ notice minimum.

Bourbon Balls

Crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa, pecans, and enough bourbon to matter — rolled into perfect rounds and dusted. A Kentucky tradition. Not for the children’s table.

Ambrosia Cups

The church supper classic served properly — mandarin oranges, pineapple, cherries, coconut, and marshmallows in a sour cream dressing, spooned into individual cups.

Banana Pudding

From-scratch vanilla custard, Nilla wafers softened just right, ripe bananas, and house-made whipped cream. Served in a trifle bowl for a crowd or individual glasses for a more elegant presentation.

Tea Cakes

The original Southern cookie — soft, slightly sweet, lightly spiced with nutmeg. Not quite a sugar cookie, not quite a biscuit, entirely their own thing. Made from a recipe older than most of the buildings in this town.

Classic Charcuterie Board

Crowd-pleasing arrangements of cured meats, cheeses, nuts, spreads, and jams — a favorite at most any gathering. Prepared on one-time use boards. Rental boards available to fit any need.

Vegetarian Charcuterie Board

An array of fruits, cheeses, nuts, spreads, and jams to ensure all of your guests find something they love. Prepared on one-time use boards. Rental boards available to fit any need.

Southern Sweet Board

A grazing board built entirely from our scratch-made Southern sweets — petit fours, tea cakes, cream cheese mints, bourbon balls, pralines, and seasonal confections arranged for guests to graze throughout the event.

Contents vary with season. Custom color themes available — 30 days’ notice minimum.
