🎉✨ We had the joy of celebrating Larry’s 80th birthday—and what a celebration it was! Surrounded by friends and family, Larry was honoured with a room full of laughs, stories, and heartfelt memories. We were so grateful to cater this milestone right in the comfort of their own home. 🍽️ From start to finish, the evening was filled with delicious food, warm company, and the kind of memories that only happen when you’re gathered where you feel most at ease. At Merry Folks Catering, we believe private functions are even better when you get the comfort of your home environment—personal, relaxed, and tailored just for you. Here’s to Larry, 80 years of stories, and a night filled with love and laughter. 🥂💛 #MerryFolksCatering #PrivateEvents #MilestoneMoments #YEGCatering

🍂✨ The wedding season doesn’t end with summer—it just gets cozier. Fall weddings have a magic all their own. The golden leaves, the crisp air, the candlelight dinners that feel a little warmer, a little more intimate. For us at Merry Folks Catering, this is one of our favourite times of year. It’s when menus shift into hearty, comforting flavors—think roasted harvest vegetables, spiced sauces, and rich, seasonal pairings that make every plate feel like a celebration of the season. We’re so excited to roll out our fall-inspired menus and bring those autumn tastes to life for couples who choose to say “I do” surrounded by the beauty of the season. 🥂🍁 Because a wedding season just isn’t complete without the romance of fall. #MerryFolksCatering #FallWeddings #HarvestSeasonLove

🍂✨ Harvest Season is Here! ✨🍂 The fields are full, the markets are buzzing, and we’re so excited to bring the freshest seasonal flavors straight to your table. From hearty root veggies to crisp greens and late-summer gems, harvest season means your event menu just leveled up. At Merry Folks, we love working with what’s in season — it’s fresher, tastier, and brings that cozy fall feeling to every plate. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or a family gathering, you’ll taste the season in every bite. Because nothing says celebration like food that’s been picked at its peak. 🥕🌽🍎

🎉 Throwback to Dad’s Birthday Menu (2021 Edition 🤣) 🎉 Once upon a time, for Dad’s big day, we crafted a menu that was less “fine dining” and more “family comedy show.” The result? Plates stacked, bellies full! . . . . #alberta #ponoka #stalbert #stalbertfood #yeg #yegfood #yegcatering #yegbiz #yegbusiness #yegfoodie #yegparty #yegevent

🥩 How to Pick Your Meat Protein for Your Event (Without Starting a Family Feud) 🍗 Step 1: Know Your Crowd Uncle Bob says beef or bust, but Aunt Karen insists on chicken. Solution? Pretend you’re Switzerland and go with both. Neutral… but delicious. Step 2: Think “Dress Code” Is your event black-tie fancy or backyard casual? • Beef tenderloin = tuxedo. • BBQ chicken = jeans and a comfy hoodie. • Pulled pork = the stretchy pants you pretend are “athleisure.” Step 3: Play the Popular Vote Chicken is basically the Beyoncé of proteins—everybody loves it. Beef is the rockstar. Pork? That’s your underrated indie band that steals the show. Step 4: Don’t Forget the Plot Twist Sure, everyone expects chicken or beef, but bring in lamb, turkey, or seafood and watch your guests’ eyes widen like you just revealed season finale spoilers. Step 5: Trust the Pros (👋 That’s Us!) We’ve catered enough events to know that whatever you choose, it’s going to be cooked to perfection, paired with sides that slap, and plated so pretty you’ll forget to post your outfit before posting your plate. ✨ Moral of the story: You pick the vibe, we’ll bring the flavor.

✨ Behind the aprons, there’s always a story. This past year Alyce grew her family from four to five (hello, sweet little baby! 🍼), while Anna and Jackie have been sharpening those culinary skills and laughing their way through the kitchen. We’re grateful we get to grow together—both as a team and as a family. 💛 . . . . . . #stalbert #yeg #yegfood #merryfolkscatering #yeglocal #yegbusiness #stalbertbusiness #edmonton #edmontonalberta #stalbertliving

🔥 Two years in business. 🔥 When we launched Merry Folks Catering, it wasn’t just about food — it was about building something lasting. Something that could stand strong, even while life was happening around us. In just two years, we’ve catered weddings, corporate events, and community gatherings… all while welcoming new babies, celebrating personal milestones, and pushing through the inevitable challenges that come with entrepreneurship. Through it all, we’ve grown, adapted, and delivered — because excellence is the standard here. 💪🍴 Year two reminds us of this truth: success isn’t about luck. It’s about grit, vision, and the people who choose to stand with you. To every client, supporter, and teammate — thank you. Merry Folks isn’t just still here… we’re stronger, sharper, and hungrier than ever. 🚀 Here’s to the next chapter. . . . . . . #edmonton #edmontonbusiness #yeg #yegbusiness #yegbusinesswomen #yegfood #yegcatering #yeglocal #yegliving #stalbert #stalbertbusinessowners #stalbertbusiness

Ashley & Ken’s wedding had it all — the kind of day where the smiles were contagious, the laughter was nonstop, and the dance floor stayed full until the very last song. 💍✨ From the moment guests arrived, you could feel the excitement in the air. Beautiful décor, incredible energy, and a menu that had everyone coming back for seconds (and maybe thirds 😉). For us, it was the perfect way to kick off August — surrounded by amazing people, celebrating love, and being part of a day we know they’ll remember forever. 🥂 Here’s to Ashley & Ken — may your marriage be as full of joy as your wedding day. ❤️

Before we show you the dreamy wedding footage, here’s a peek behind the scenes… Jackie, laser-focused, monitoring the meat like it’s a gold medal event. 🥩🔥 Do you think she went home and made one just for herself after? (We’re betting yes.) 😉 . . . . . . . . #yegwedding #yegweddings #yegweddingdecor #yegweddingvenue #yegweddingplanner #yegweddingvendors #yegweddingplanners #yegcaters #yegcaterer #yegcatering #yegcaterers #yegcateringservices #stalbertwedding #stalbert #stalbertfood #stalbertliving #stalbertbusiness

Comfort food is loading… ⏳🍲 We know—we’re still out here soaking up the sun and pretending summer’s forever. But that crisp air? That cozy craving? It’s coming in hot (literally). Think bubbling baked pastas, rich stews, cheesy everything, and warm-from-the-oven kind of vibes. We’re not quite ready to say goodbye to patio season… But comfort food season? Yeah—it’s sneaking up faster than you think. 👀🍂 . . . . . #edmonton #edmontonfood #yegfood #yeglocal #yegliving #yegbusiness #yegcatering #stalbert #stalbertfood #stalbertliving #stalbertcatering #stalbertbusiness

Last year, we had the absolute honour of feeding the best of the best—fellow wedding vendors at a networking event filled with talent, creativity, and connection. 💍✨ Catering for those who help bring love stories to life? That’s a whole different kind of special. From photographers to florists, planners to venue hosts—every plate we served was a thank-you in edible form. To all the amazing vendors we met (and fed): we loved every second of it. Let’s do it again soon. 💚 . . . . . #yegwedding #yegweddings #yegweddingdecor #yegweddinghair #yegweddingvenue #yegweddingplanner #yegweddingvendors #yegweddingphotography #yegweddingphotographer #edmontonevents #edmontonliving #edmontonalberta #exploreedmonton #edmontonwedding #edmontonweddings #edmontonweddingdecor #edmontonweddingvenue #edmontonweddingvenues #edmontonweddingphotography #edmontonweddingplanner

You know those people who just make things happen? That’s Jackie. Every. Single. Time. 💪🍦 One time, Jenna from @orthosmedia was seriously craving ice cream at a networking event… Only problem? There was none. Zilch. Nada. But before we could even blink—Jackie rolls up with ICE CREAM. 😱 No one asked. No one expected it. But somehow… Jackie just knew. She’s officially on our list of “people who can do anything.”

They say save the best for last… and dessert always proves them right. 🍪✨ In this reel, you’ll catch a glimpse of some drool-worthy, Christmas-inspired cookies—because yes, holiday season is creeping up faster than you think! 🎄 We’re already booking out for Christmas parties—and sometimes a whole year in advance! If you want your event to end on the sweetest note, let’s chat about catering before the calendar fills up. #MerryFolksCatering #HolidayCatering #ChristmasCookies #EventDesserts #YEGEvents

Weddings? Of course—we love love. 💍 But don’t let the white dress fool you. We also crush: 🎉 Birthdays with bold flavors 🍼 Baby showers that feel like home ✨ Galas that wow (and taste even better) 🤝 Fundraisers with heart 🍽️ And even Tuesday night dinner parties—because why not be a little fancy? If it involves food, people, and good vibes… we’re in. Let’s plan something unforgettable.

They say love is the answer… But have you tried adding cheese? Baked pasta, melty chicken, golden bubbly goodness—cheese just makes everything better. 🧀✨ It’s comfort. It’s joy. It’s what turns good food into remember-that-dish-at-their-wedding kind of food. And hey, if someone at your event can’t do dairy—we’ve got them, too. One of the biggest reasons people book Merry Folks is because we actually listen and build menus that fit your guests’ needs. No one gets left out at our table. 💛 #MerryFolksEats #CheesePlease #CateringWithHeart #FoodForEveryone #EventMagic

📣 WOW. Check out that brisket. Our new smoker took a lil joyride and came back with some SERIOUS bark and bite. 🐂🔥 We’ve served this beauty at backyard weddings, big birthdays… even those very serious, tie-wearing, handshake-heavy corporate gigs. 💼👔 Turns out: Everyone loves a good brisket. Especially when it’s smoked to perfection by the Merry Folks crew. 😉 #BrisketGoals #SmokedToPerfection #MerryFolksCatering #CorporateCateringDoneRight #BBQLove #WeddingCatering #YYCFoodies

Summer season hits hard — and when we’re deep in the kitchen, catering weddings and events back to back, we sometimes miss the very thing that built this business: the people. 🧡 We’re so grateful for the friendships and connections we’ve made through networking, markets, and collaborations… and we miss you when we’re in full hustle mode. If we haven’t hugged you or shared a coffee lately, just know we’re thinking of you (probably while rolling dough or marinating something delicious). Let’s reconnect soon. ✨ #MerryFolksFamily #CommunityOverEverything #CateringWithHeart

Behind the scenes at Merry Folks: where the flames are high, the sass is higher, and the phrase “YES, Chef!” is both a battle cry and a coping mechanism. 🔥👩‍🍳🍽️ Running on caffeine, adrenaline, and pure culinary chaos — and somehow still plating perfection. #ChefLife #MerryFolksMayhem #CateringChaos #HotKitchenEnergy

#FlashbackFriday to the cutest snickerdoodle cookies we ever did bake 🍪✨ Soft, chewy, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and almost too cute to eat (almost 😉). Just a little reminder that joy comes in bite-sized batches. #MerryFolksCatering #CookieJoy #YEGBakeryVibes

We just needed one more photo from this incredible wedding — because wow, what a day. 💍✨ Every detail was stunning, every guest was full of joy, and every plate we served was made with love. We truly live for weddings like this. Thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful beginning. 💕 #WeddingsWithMerryFolks #YEGWeddings #CateringWithHeart

Last night, we had the honour of catering McKenzie & Dion’s wedding—and behind the scenes, it felt like we were performing a symphony. While the room filled with laughter, music, and unforgettable memories, our kitchen moved with purpose and rhythm—each dish its own note, every movement part of a bigger piece. From the smoked brisket with housemade hickory BBQ to the baked chicken in a velvety Chardonnay mushroom sauce, the meal built like a crescendo. Rosemary-infused potatoes, fresh seasonal salads, and warm brioche buns added harmony—crafted with intention, plated with care. And then came dessert—the sweet finale. Espresso-glazed vegan brownies and strawberry-glazed donuts hit the perfect high note. Just when the music softened, the late-night perogy bar brought everyone back for an encore. Bacon bits, green onions, dill sour cream… a comfort-filled close to an already unforgettable performance. Guests raved throughout the night—and for us, there’s no better reward than the quiet applause of happy, satisfied hearts. To McKenzie & Dion—thank you for trusting us with your day. It was an honour to play a part in your love story. #WeddingsWithMerryFolks #CateringLikeClockwork #FoodSymphony #McKenzieAndDion #EdmontonWeddings #PerogyBarEncore

Last month, we had the joy of catering Gabby & Sean’s unforgettable wedding day — and what a day it was! From the moment guests arrived, the energy was full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of happy tears. ✨ We crafted a menu that reflected the couple’s story — comforting, joyful, and full of flavour. As the sun set and candles flickered across the tables, our team served course after course with care, knowing each bite was part of a memory in the making. Gabby & Sean, thank you for inviting Merry Folks to share in your celebration. It was an honour to help bring your vision to life with food that felt like home. 💕 #WeddingsWithMerryFolks #MadeWithLove #YEGWeddings

BLINI, not BELLINI… although we love both 🍽️🍑 Let’s clear it up: A blini is a pillowy-soft, mini pancake made for stacking with delicious things like smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and little bursts of joy. A bellini is a peachy sip of summer in a glass. One is brunch. The other is brunch goals. At Merry Folks, we serve up blini that might just steal the spotlight from your mimosa. So next time you hear it, just smile and say: “I’ll take both.” #MerryFolksCatering #BliniNotBellini #BrunchGoals #BiteSizedJoy #YEGFoodies #CateringWithCharacter

Let them mingle, not line up. A grazing-style menu isn’t just food—it’s flow. It’s conversation starters. It’s guests gathered around a beautifully curated table, picking, tasting, laughing, connecting. At Merry Folks, we believe every bite should feel like an invitation—no pressure, no waiting, just a relaxed and elegant way to enjoy the moment. Whether it’s a corporate event, a wedding, or a cozy celebration, grazing tables bring people together in a way plated meals can’t. ✨ Beautiful. Interactive. Unforgettable. Let’s build your next menu around connection. #MerryFolksCatering #GrazingGoals #YEGEvents #FeedThemWell #FoodThatFlows #BehindTheApron

Cookbooks are more than just recipes. They’re dog-eared pages stained with sauce. Notes scribbled in the margins. A folded corner from that one time dinner actually went as planned. They’re memories of Sunday dinners, holiday feasts, and rainy afternoons spent trying something new. They hold grandma’s secrets, your first successful soufflé, and that one dish your kids still ask for. At Merry Folks, we keep our favorite cookbooks close—not just for the ingredients, but for the stories they carry. Every page is a reminder of where we’ve been, who we’ve cooked for, and why we love what we do. 📚 What’s the cookbook you’d never part with? #MerryFolksCatering #BehindTheApron #CookbookStories #FoodWithHeart #YEGCooks #KitchenTraditions

Where does inspiration come from? Sometimes it’s a memory. Sometimes it’s a smell. Sometimes… it’s just staring into the fridge and letting curiosity take over. At Merry Folks, we find inspiration everywhere—gardens, markets, family traditions, and late-night cravings. Cooking isn’t just about recipes—it’s about feelings, stories, and the joy of creating something that brings people together. The best dishes start with a spark of inspiration—and a whole lot of heart. ✨ What inspires your cooking? #MerryFolksCatering #BehindTheApron #InspiredByFlavour #YEGFoodScene #HeartInEveryBite

At Merry Folks, we go from this ➡️ to THIS! It all starts with a bucket full of ingredients, stacks of labeled containers, and the quiet hustle in our kitchen. What might look like chaos at first quickly becomes creation. Every sauce, every sprinkle, every fold is intentional—crafted with care, love, and a pinch of magic. What your guests see? A stunning spread. What we see? The story behind it. ✨ From prep to plate, we bring the heart to the table. #MerryFolksCatering #BehindTheApron #FromScratchWithLove #YEGCatering #EventFoodDoneRight

When your dad is cooler than cool… he’s smokin’! 🔥🚗💨 Jackie’s dad doesn’t just support the racing community — he lives it. With a heart full of horsepower and a truck ready to roar, he brought the whole family out to the track to soak up every second of the action. And the best part? That legendary burnout featuring not one, but TWO of his daughters’ business logos — including ours! 🖤 It wasn’t just rubber that went up in smoke… it was pride, love, and a whole lot of good vibes. What a day! #FamilyFuelled #SupportLocal #MerryFolksCatering #RacingRoots #TrackDayVibes #BurnoutLove #ProudDadMoments

The Edmonton Arts Council knows how to throw a reception — and we were thrilled to bring the flavour! 🎭🍴 From crisp rice paper rolls (yes, those fresh little beauties), to deviled eggs, and sweet tarts that disappeared way too fast — this spread had a little something for everyone.

Art on the walls, stories in the room, and flavour on every plate — that’s our kind of night. #MerryFolksCatering #YEGArts #EdmontonEvents #SupportLocal #SweetTartEnergy #BehindTheApron

There’s something so special about a milestone birthday. We recently had the honour of catering a 70th birthday celebration that felt more like a warm hug than an event. The room was filled with family, old friends, stories that had everyone laughing, and a few happy tears too. For the menu? We went classic and charming—just like the guest of honour. Delicate tea-style sandwiches stacked high, sweet little treats that looked almost too pretty to eat (almost), and thoughtful touches that brought comfort and elegance to the table. It wasn’t just about the food—it was about making someone feel deeply celebrated after seven decades of love, life, and legacy. Thank you for letting us be part of such a heartfelt day. These are the moments we cherish. #MerryFolksCatering #70YearsYoung #TeaPartyMagic #YEGEvents #MadeWithLove #CateringWithHeart #EdmontonCaterer

Today we raise a fork (and maybe a ribeye) to the dads who do it all.

We were honoured to provide a private dinner experience for one of our future bride and groom clients, joined by their close family. This evening served not only as a tasting, but as a meaningful opportunity to connect, share stories, and offer a preview of the culinary excellence we bring to every event. From thoughtfully curated courses to warm, attentive service, every detail was designed to reflect the care and intention we bring to their upcoming celebration. It was a pleasure to showcase our work in such an intimate setting, and we look forward to being part of their wedding day with the same level of passion and precision. #MerryFolksCatering #PrivateDinner #WeddingTasting #CateringWithCare #EdmontonWeddings #EventExcellence #ThoughtfullyPrepared

One of Jackie’s favourite things to do outside the kitchen? Gardening. 🌱 We’ve got most of the garden planted for the season and now it’s all about tending, watering, and watching it grow. There’s something deeply satisfying about getting your hands in the soil, nurturing each plant, and knowing that some of what we grow might just inspire a future menu. Here’s to homegrown flavours, fresh herbs, and the kind of care that starts long before the food hits the plate. 💚 #MerryFolksCatering #GardenToTable #HomegrownGoodness

Catering at the Edmonton Valley Zoo wasn’t something we had on the bucket list… but after this, it absolutely should’ve been! 🐾🎉 We had the joy of catering a very special birthday party surrounded by incredible people, adorable animals, and—yes—some seriously mischievous otters who looked like they were plotting to sneak a snack. From start to finish, it was a wildly fun experience we won’t forget anytime soon. Thanks to the amazing crew who trusted us with such a meaningful day. We loved every minute! #MerryFolksCatering #ZooBirthdayParty #LeapingLemursAndLunch #YEGEvents #CateringWithHeart

There’s just something about food on a stick that gets people excited. Maybe it’s the ease — one hand free to hold a drink or high-five your aunt. Maybe it’s the nostalgia — summer nights, backyard grills, and that one cousin who always tries to eat five at once. Skewered food brings the flavour and the fun. Whether it’s tender marinated meats, colourful grilled veggies, or sweet bites for dessert — it’s bite-sized joy, ready to mingle. Planning an event?

At Merry Folks Catering, we had the honor of supporting our dear friend Mary LeBreton, owner of Orthos Media Management, during a deeply personal moment. As she gathered with loved ones to honor her late mother, we crafted a custom spread inspired by her family’s Italian and Greek roots. From fresh olives and assorted cheeses to vibrant fruit platters and warm, comforting breads, we aimed to create a meaningful and heartfelt experience for everyone in attendance. It was a privilege to be part of this special evening, celebrating a life filled with love and cherished memories.

From elegant hors d’oeuvres to midnight snack bars that keep the dance floor alive — let’s make sure your guests remember the food as much as the "I do." 🥂🍽️ 📩 Reach out today, because last-minute doesn’t have to mean last-resort. #MayDayMayDay #WeddingCatering2025 #LastMinuteLove #BookTheFoodAlready #May1Magic #SayIDoToTheMenu

🍅⏳ Tomato season is loading… and we are emotionally unprepared. 🌱❤️ We’re dreaming of those sun-warmed, juice-dripping, flavor-bursting beauties that taste like summer in a single bite. But for now? We wait. We plan. We fantasize. Manifesting: 🍅 Heirlooms stacked high with fresh mozz 🍅 Blistered cherry tomatoes bursting on hot focaccia 🍅 Garden-fresh salsa that never makes it to the fridge 🍅 That first bite of a just-picked tomato with a sprinkle of sea salt ugh Until then, we honor the humble tomato with sauces, canned magic, and midnight cravings. Because when the season hits… it’s go time. What’s the first tomato move you’ll make when the garden gods deliver? 🍅👇 #TomatoGlowUpIncoming #FruitWithAttitude #InTomatoWeTrust #GardenCountdown #JuicyDreams

🥬✨ It’s time to get green—like, really green. 🌱💚 No shade to plain lettuce… but spring is begging you to get bold with your greens.

Think beyond salad: 🧇 Add chopped herbs and spinach to your waffle batter 🍝 Toss pesto with edamame and spiralized zucchini noodles 🥑 Stuff avocados with couscous, feta, and mint 🥬 Char some cabbage or broccolini and hit it with a chili-lime glaze 🍵 Whip matcha into your pancake mix or smoothie bowl 🌿 Mix basil into your whipped butter and spread it on everything The rules? There aren’t any. If it’s green and it makes your taste buds dance—you’re doing it right. What’s your most unexpected green ingredient?

Spring isn’t just a season—it’s a menu makeover. Gone are the heavy stews and sleepy casseroles. In bloom? Crisp bites, zesty twists, and garden-fresh glory. Imagine this: 🍓 Strawberry & goat cheese crostini with a drizzle of honey 🫛 Snap pea salad with lemon vinaigrette and mint 🐟 Citrus-glazed salmon resting on a bed of herby couscous 🌷 Lavender shortbread and basil lemonade to finish It’s light, it’s bright, it’s what spring tastes like.

✨🍴 Once upon a gathering… The candles were lit, the laughter was loose, and the table? Oh, the table was a stage for flavor. And before the main course could even think of making an entrance, two culinary contenders stepped forward… On one side: The Appetizers — bold, familiar, and a little flirty. Crispy, cheesy, saucy morsels that say, “Hey, let’s have some fun tonight.” 🥟🧆 On the other: The Hors d'oeuvres — graceful, mysterious, dressed in puff pastry and poetic drizzle. They whisper in French accents, “Darling, let’s dance.” 🥂🧀🍢 Now the spotlight’s on you. What will be your first taste? The comforting charm of the appetizer? Or the elegant seduction of the hors d'oeuvre? Drop your pick and pledge allegiance. Your taste buds demand a champion. 👑 #TheFirstBite #AppetizerOrHorsDoeuvre #TableTales #FlavorFables #NibbleWithPurpose

🧀 How to Cut Cheese Like a Pro 🧀 Ready to level up your charcuterie game? Here are five popular cheeses and the best ways to cut them for your board: 1️⃣ Brie (Soft Cheese) – Cut into wedges, like slices of cake. This ensures everyone gets a bit of the creamy center and edible rind. 2️⃣ Cheddar (Semi-Hard Cheese) – Slice into neat rectangles or cubes. Perfectly bite-sized and easy for guests to grab. 3️⃣ Gouda (Semi-Hard Cheese) – Slice into thin triangles or long wedges from the center outward, showcasing its beautiful shape and texture. 4️⃣ Parmigiano-Reggiano (Hard Cheese) – Use a cheese knife to break into rustic chunks, creating an appealing texture and easy-to-nibble pieces. 5️⃣ Blue Cheese (Soft Crumbly Cheese) – Cut gently into thick wedges or crumbles to maintain its delicate, crumbly structure.

At the heart of everything Jackie does is a deep love for community. It’s in the way she prepares each meal—with care, intention, and a sense of connection. Community, for her, means showing up for one another, sharing what you have, and creating spaces where people feel welcomed and valued. Whether it’s through food, a warm smile, or lending a helping hand, Jackie believes in the quiet power of kindness. Her heart is in the little things—the shared stories, the familiar faces, the joy of people coming together. Because for Jackie, community isn’t just who you’re surrounded by. It’s who you choose to care for. . . . . . #alberta #yeg #yegfood #yegfoodie #yegbusiness #yegbiz #yegbusinessowner #t8n #t8nfood #t8nbusiness #t8nbusinessexpo #t8nliving #t8nmoms #stalbert #stalbertfood #stalbertbusiness #catering #cateringservice #cateringlife

🍦🥢 Behind the Apron – A Well-Deserved Night Out! 🎉 After a start of the 2025 season in the kitchen, the Merry Folks team took some time to enjoy a delicious night out at Twice Cream and Pho Tasty! 🥰 The star of the evening? A rotating ice cream flavor called “Cheese Board”—and let’s just say, it was a game-changer! 🧀🍦 Will absolutely be back for more! Grateful for great food, even better company, and moments like these. 💛 #BehindTheApron #MerryFolksCatering #FoodLovers #IceCreamAdventures #GoodEatsGoodCompany
