We went on a really fun date night on Valentine’s Day. Lux Catering and Events hosts a Fondue and Florals Class in Salt Lake City. First, we made our own cheese fondue with a trained chef. Then we arranged our own floral vases that we got to take home. This was a perfect date for couples, and we enjoyed our evening so much. Put this date night idea on your radar for Valentine’s Day!
Fondue
When we arrived, there were finger foods and drinks laid out and waiting for us (this is included in the cost of the class). After a little mingling and noshing, we were gathered to our individual tables to learn about fondue. Each table was packed with fondue ingredients, and plenty of things to dip in the finished product. Then, our chef showed us how to mix the cheeses, stirring them together and adding ingredients for taste. Our fondue got a little thick, but it tasted amazing. Then, we dipped apples, breads, meats, veggies, and other foods into the fondue. There were so many things that we had to take most of it home! We really enjoyed cooking together, and it was fun to make something that we would never make at home.
Flowers
After the first hour of cooking, we cleared up the food and watched a short presentation on how to arrange our own flowers. There were two expert florists that talked about shape, levels, colors, and how to put the flowers in the unique vase. They went over each flower and how it added to the piece, and how to build from the base up. Best of all, we each got to make our own, which helped spread the creativity around.
First, we choose a vessel. These were creative little cans that had a piece of wet, green floral foam inside. Next, we picked flowers. There were over a dozen kinds of flowers including carnations, roses, mums, as well as lots of greenery. We were surprised at how easy and fun this activity was. A week later, our flowers are still looking great, too.
Information
The Lux Catering Fondue and Florals Class only happens on Valentines’ Day, so make sure to plan for it. They do offer other classes throughout the year. They have a Mother’s Day event, as well as a terrarium class where you create your own terrarium. We can’t wait to try another class. More information on their website: Lux Catering and Events.
