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!

 

Bless your heart pillow

 

 

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

see Flower Market here

 

 

 

 

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!
