Frozen Strawberry Souffles Recipe
Ingredients

 

Makes 16

 

* 4 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
* 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
* 5 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
* 3 cups heavy cream
* Candied Strawberry Chips

 

Directions

1. Puree strawberries, lemon juice, and 3 cups sugar in a food processor. Press through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding pulp. You should have 6 cups puree.

2. Prepare an ice bath; set aside. In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, dissolve gelatin in 3 tablespoons cold water. Add 1 1/2 cups of the strawberry puree; return mixture to bowl with remaining strawberry puree.

3. Set bowl in ice bath until mixture is chilled and slightly thick, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups cream to stiff peaks, and fold into strawberry mixture.

4. Cut parchment paper into 16 strips, each 2 3/4 by 10 inches. Tape each strip around a 3-ounce ramekin so it extends above the rim by about 2 inches. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet; fill each with about 1/2 cup strawberry mixture. Freeze until set, about 3 hours.

5. Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving; remove parchment collars. Whip remaining cup cream with 2 tablespoons sugar. Serve souffles with whipped cream and candied chips.

Hanging Welcomes

 

welcome packet

Get a handle on introducing out-of-town guests to your wedding locale with simple-to-assemble hanging welcome packets. Inside each, include a note of greeting, along with such items as an itinerary of events, a detailed map, and a list of places to visit. Then ask the hotel concierge to hang them from room doors so that when guests check in, they can check out all the local attractions. Calligraphy by Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls.

 

Tools and Materials
Legal-size (8 1/2 by 14 inches) card stock
Ruler
Craft knife
2 1/2-inch circle craft punch
Bone folder
Round label stickers

 

Welcome-Packet How-To
Print the word welcome (or have your calligrapher script it) twice across the top of a legal-size sheet of card stock. With a ruler and craft knife, cut the card stock in half lengthwise; punch a hole in the bottom of each piece with a 2 1/2-inch circle punch. With a bone folder, crease each card-stock strip 4 inches from the top, and fold to form a pocket. Fasten sides with round label stickers.

File Card Guest Book

file cards

File this under A for adorable. Instead of a traditional guest book, use cards from an address file. Our set, by Lovely Design, contains handmade ones from vintage papers, so each is wonderfully unique. Set cards on a table with a sign asking friends and family to jot down messages; once they’ve penned their notes, they can file their card alphabetically, leaving you to merely flip through all the warm wishes that range from A to Z.
