Easy Spring KY Derby Oaks Day Brunch

Easy Spring KY Derby Oaks Day Brunch

Welcome to the table! 

Today I am sharing my brunch buffet I setup for the Kentucky Oaks the day before the Kentucky Derby and traditionally the day most local Louisvillians go to Churchill Downs although recently this has spilled back into Thursday now called "Thurby".

We are setup in my butlers pantry to show that even in small kitchens you can easily entertain! I have placed my utensils and pink and orange stripe stirrup and silks napkins at the beginning of the buffet using the titanium silver coated porcelain julep cups as utensil holders. 

Honoring the lilly which is the featured flower of Oaks, I used pink paper table runner with a border of race horses and mint julep cups.

I have setup our large horseshoe porcelain serving bowl with a Jockey and Juleps towel for a liner to hold a mix of mini bagels, danish and muffins.

The silver horseshoe tray with spreader will be used for a new recipe of Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese.
