Party Panache, Strawberry Tree
We enjoyed a strawberry tree as part of our holiday fare
It was so pretty, and made quite a statement on the buffet
I couldn’t help thinking this would be so easy to change up for any occasion or holiday
like Valentine’s Day!
A styrofoam cone, toothpicks and spinach leaves cover the base
You could also use lettuce, cabbage leaves, or anything food safe
I made it the day before and tucked in into the fridge overnight
Before serving I surrounded the base with cheese cubes, grapes, and parsley
For an edible Valentine tree,
please use your imagination here
you could use powdered donut holes and strawberries
How about an edible tree for St. Patrick’s day,
more imagination please
using a stryrofoam cone covered with broccoli floretes, and carrots
with a wreath of other green veggies and golden yellow pepper pieces surrounding the base
with a “pot of gold” to dip them in
Can’t you just picture that?
Instead of gumdrops, how about a jelly bean and peeps tree for Easter?
A tiered server is another good option for buffets
You can create your own by Playing with Dishes, and stacking pieces you have
A pineapple makes a great tree, this one is decorated with mini cheese balls
The best part about using “tree style serving” is that
it takes up much less room in your serving space
than a large tray of food, and adds height and visual interest
Instead of an edible tree, a tree of vegetables and herbs is a beautiful centerpiece
And of course, flowers presented just a little differently, make a dramatic impact
Remember the power of presentation!
This Bloody Mary Brunch is features bakery bagels, croissants, hard boiled eggs, but they all look party pretty because of the display
A New Year means a whole year of celebrations and table possibilities!

Oh Jenna! I don’t even know where to begin in telling you all the things I love here! SOOOOO many great ideas! So many beautiful paintings for pillows! Just amazing!!
Thank you Jodi, you’ve made my day!
The strawberry tree is so pretty — a wonderful idea for any time of the year, really. And who doesn’t love stacking? Looks nice on the table, a great focal point and you can get more yummies added on!
As usual, I didn’t have as much time to spend on it as I wanted but it was a hit and looked really fresh and pretty, thanks Jeanie
Wow! You have so many creative ideas and designs. The strawberry tree is gorgeous! 😍
Thank you!
You really possess the Power of Presentation! The strawberry tree is fantabulous and I can’t wait to make one for the next celebration…a trial one might be “needed” first. Thank-you!
Thank you Ellen, it’s really not hard at all, and I would have covered it with more stuff but I ran out of strawberries so just filled in with more spinach… endless possibilities here, I keep thinking of new combos so you’ll probably see another one in the future 🙂
You have the best ideas Jenna! Chocolate dipped for ❤️day!

What a great idea Jenna, good for birthdays.
Jenna, you truly have a gift of entertaining! The strawberry tree is just fabulous! You not only are a fabulous hostess, but artist as well! Stay warm, James Spann says we may have snow on Tuesday!
Thank you Pam, it’s freezing on the coast too, this seems like the longest winter ever! Let’s hope the snow stays away!
The strawberry tree is fun:@)
As usual, I always walk away from your posts with a good idea. Love your strawberry tree. Enjoy your week.
I absolutely love the strawberry tree. It would be perfect for valentine’s Day! I love all the pretty dishes and presentations in this post. You rock, My Friend!
Thanks RJ, tons of possibilities, I keep getting new ideas for other versions!
Such festive appetizer cones Jenna! I love the idea of a strawberry tree for Valentine’s Day. ♥
Sorry I’m late, a little under the weather with a sinus infection (hope that’s all it is). I’m so glad I didn’t miss this, amazing post Jenna. I love the strawberry tree and I’ll definitely make it. Love your stacked veggie and flower trees. You food presentations are always so lovely and appetizing.
Omy! Love these ideas! The strawberry tree is beautiful and would work in so many occasions but the rest of the ideas are so fun as well!
Such a cute table idea, your strawberry tree! Pinned to my Yummy board. <3
