Tips for Food Garnishes and Decorating Ideas
Do you have boring, disorganized and everyday picnics? Why not organize the picnic or party that everyone would want to attend? Everyone in your circle of friends will come over and talk about the amazing party you threw for days, weeks, or even years. Have you ever gone to a party and wondered, “how did he do that?” or thought, “they are so creative.”
You can be that person everyone is talking about. You can be that creative host or hostess who would throw an interesting event.
Food decorating tips and decorating ideas can be found in a variety of places. If you can’t think of ideas on your own, Google it! You can find books at the department store, or you can copy an idea from a friend or associate when you attend one of their parties or picnics.
Disney has been a big part of my niece’s life and she is a huge fan. She has decorated slices of watermelon in the shape of Mickey ears with a popsicle stick inserted as handles. She has made princess cupcakes for her daughter’s birthday. Her mother, my sister, cuts apples into flower designs, placing them on skewers for the beautiful edible bouquet. I found a recipe to create pilgrim hats out of cookies, candy, and frosting.
Have you ever tried to be creative? Personally, I have trouble thinking outside the box, but that doesn’t stop me from having a unique and engaging event. Even if you can’t come up with your own ideas, you can certainly draw on the ideas of others to make creations for your special themed event. Your themed party can be more interesting with some helpful tips for garnishing and decorating food. Don’t worry about “having two thumbs”. The food decorating tips and decorating ideas you find in your search will provide you with very easy to follow instructions.
Like I said, I usually can’t create my own ideas, but when I’m looking for ideas, I can make these creations with a little time, patience, and instruction.
Here are some food decorating tips and decorating ideas I’m happy to share with you. I have found these in my search to add an extra touch to my dinner parties, my picnics and when we organize a banquet or a wedding.
By using some snack-sized Milky Way bars, some plain m&ms candy, and some teddy grahams, you can make these cute little cars for a kid’s birthday party or Nascar-themed event. The milky way is the body of the car, the m&ms are the wheels, and graham the teddy is tucked on top, backwards, as if he were the driver.
You can also use some sliced bananas, add some sliced kiwi, and add some halo pieces placed perfectly on a plate to create a summer themed treat. Your guests can enjoy fresh fruit around this beautiful display. (The banana forms the trunk of a palm tree, the kiwi forms the top of the tree, while the pieces of tangelos form the sand on the beach.
Another great idea I’ve used for Thanksgiving is the fall foliage acorn. If you take a Hershey’s Kiss, with a chocolate chip and half a round of nut butter to create the perfect looking acorn favors. Pipe the kiss, slightly melted into the butter pecan cookie and finish the top of the pecan butter with a small chocolate chip, slightly melted, to make it stick, it will give you a cute acorn to place on each plate as a favor.
