Tasting - September 2011 - Success!

I hope you were able to attend our latest Tasting the last weekend of September! A total success! Enjoy these photos by Kevin Groover.

Summer Cakes

I don't know where the summer goes. Every summer we are so busy with wedding receptions that we turn around and school is back in session. Now, if the heat would only leave as quickly. Heat and humidity are not a wedding cake's best friend, so summer cakes make us a little nervous.

Here's some of Susan's beautiful work this summer! Enjoy!

M&K Ball

The M&K Foundation honors the memory of two Oconee County women, Melissa Norris and Karen Nasworthy, by supporting the academic and leadership development of young people in Oconee County. Since 1984, the Foundation has provided more than $150,000 in college and leadership scholarships to 145 students. If you'd like to learn more, the M&K Foundation website is: www.mandkfoundation.org

Trumps Catering has been proud to be a part of the yearly M&K Ball fund raiser since 2000. Here are some photos from another successful event, this past February:
