“The Fire Breathing Chef worked with me to find the perfect theme, menu, and decorations for my mother’s 70th birthday celebration. My mother is a die-hard Elvis Presley fan, and I wanted to incorporate that into a party. Ingrid worked with me to come up with the Theme, which tied into an Elvis Presley hit song. Then she design a menu that was a nod to Elvise’s favorite foods (not easy), A themed birthday cake, using all my mothers’s favorite flavors, and even a signature cocktail for the day. Everyone walking into the venue was floored, and roaring in approval when the Elvis impersonator showed up, gifting my mother an ‘Elvis scarf’ with her name written on it…” Nancy M. SF Bay Area
