The Wedding Planning Pros

I am a big fan of any show on TV about cooking. It wasn’t always that way. The most I wanted out of food was to eat it. I guess I just got tired of the same old franchise food. Food contests rate the type of foods selected by around 50% of the score. The remaining 50% is – you guessed it, presentation and creativity. This is where you can shine even if the menu is hot dogs and hamburgers. Party theme serving trays is answer.
<a href="http://www.partysolver.com/servingacc.html" target="_blank">Party trays</a>run the whole spectrum from plain solid colors, elegant clear – crystal like to themed trays in the shape of characters or sports equipment. Sizes range from large platters suitable for the Thanksgiving turkey to the personal chip and dip sports looks like a baseball glove. Elevated and stackable trays are popular especially if you have a lot of food and limited space. Hot and cold foods that need to stay that way must also be considered. Did you ever set up your serving table and find that your crock pot didn’t have a long enough cord, or a place to plug it if you did?
Consider how to place foods on the table. Make sure your guests don’t have to reach over hot foods to get to cold or finger type foods. It could be dangerous. I have started to put salad and bread on a separate table away from the main foods. Simply, it is difficult to carry a salad bowl, plate and utensils and still navigate through the line. Encourage your guests to place the food round of foods at their seat and return for the rest.
Sturdy objects should be used for creating height. It is best to slightly elevate food items and the ends of the table and a bit higher in back. I’m talking about inches here, not feet! Place all your elevations and use a cloth table cloth or paper to cover. I don’t recommend plastic as it will allow your <a href="http://www.partysolver.com/servingacc.html" target="_blank">serving trays</a>to slide. Be sure to work from one end to the other placing your servings carefully to insure stability of your creation.
There you have it. I hope you picked some yummy food for your guests, presented it safely in a organized manner and tossed a little creativity for the extra touch.
