Thanksgiving Pork!

This year we had a Thanksgiving potluck to celebrate our Mottahedeh family before Turkey day. Joey slow cooked a delicious pork, everyone brought in delicious food, and we shared laughs and discussion over a warm meal before breaking up for the long weekend to spend time with each of our own families.

Happy Birthday Luis!

Today Paul took headshots for the upcoming Westchester Designer Showhouse. Our favorite was the parrot shot. What's yours?

Mottahedeh Inspiration: Fondant Style

Friday the Boss decided we, as a company, were going to have a cupcake decorating event. I guess her and the girls were talking about fondant so the whole idea was to play around with sugary stuff. Fondant is an edible sugary play dough type substance that can be colored with food coloring and hardens the longer it sits out. None of us had previously used it, and though I can't admit that any of us are masters of it (yet), we did have a really good time. We amped up the deal a bit by asking everyone to choose a Mottahedeh pattern to "inspire" their work of art. And here are a few of the masterpieces that people came up with! 

Paul's inspiration: The Rooster Tureen
