Making Wedding Treats - Need Advice Quick!

[ChefNic]

Has anyone made these? They are in the Celebrate Cookbook.
I am making them for a wedding this Saturday, and have never made them before. The lady suggested small dinner rolls instead of puff pastry. that would make it easier on me, but they would be bigger than the puff pastry squares. I don't want to disappoint her when I charge her for 36 per recipe and she only get 18 or so!!
Would they be good on dinner rolls ? or would the bread be to much? where as the pastry puff is light and airy.

She is also having the New Orleans Crab Spread - on crackers
and Pecan Tassies

Thank goodness I convinced her not to have the 200 deviled eggs!
Thanks for your help - QUICK!!

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question as I have not made these before. However, I would suggest that you ask the lady if she would prefer small dinner rolls over puff pastry squares. If she is fine with it, then go ahead and make them on the dinner rolls. If she would prefer the puff pastry squares, then you can try to find a way to make more of them in the same amount of time. Good luck!

Hi there! I haven't personally made these before, but I have some experience with similar recipes. I think using small dinner rolls instead of puff pastry would work just fine. The bread will definitely be a bit heavier than the puff pastry, but it shouldn't be too much of a difference. Plus, the rolls will add a nice texture to the dish. As for the number of servings, I would suggest making a test batch beforehand to see how many you can get out of the recipe using the dinner rolls. That way, you can adjust the recipe accordingly and make sure you're not short on the day of the wedding. The New Orleans Crab Spread on crackers sounds delicious! And I'm glad you convinced her to not have 200 deviled eggs, that would have been quite a task. Best of luck with the wedding catering!
