The mini sunday brunch


cream cheese and smoked salmon crackers 


quiches and crepes
fruit salad

Fritters and coffee
It's been a while since I've wanted to do another mini meal so I thought brunch would be perfect! The first thing I made was the cinnamon buns. I made a basic recipe and served them a creme cheese frosting. 
Then I made mini quiches. I did a tomato, basil, and cheese. Let me say, they were fantastic! For the crust I did flour, salt, butter, and ice water. 
For the crepes I stuffed them with ricotta. I put orange zest, sugar, and strawberries. I made a strawberry sauce. I put orange in it as well. 
I bought smoked salmon, creme cheese, and capers. I was going to serve that with mini bagels that I saw at the store, but when I went back to buy them, they didn't have them so I got normal sized ones. Then when I was assembling them I realized I forgot to take them out of the freezer! So I used crackers :P 
Then I did fruit salad. I did mango, pineapple, and strawberries. 
Then my favorite: coffee with fritters! I did iced coffee in shot glasses and cream. For the fritters I put apple in them. No fried food is bad! ;) 
For the last, but not least, we made mimosas. We were going to use blood oranges but I forgot so I used navel oranges instead. Well that's it for now.
