Ideas for Nice Food Presentation from Restaurantware

Finger food served in bamboo boats

I found this idea of nice finger food prsentation at Restaurantware. A cute bamboo boat makes the appetizer look great. If you like cute plates and nice dishes I am sure you will stuck in the website strolling its pages.

Restaurantware is online shop specializing in bamboo plates and cones, disposable dishes, decorative skewers and catering food products. All the plates are useful for nice presentation of Asian and European food. Finger food, one-bite appetizers served in curved plates and bamboo boats look just adorable.

In my fruit work I often use decorative skewers to fix fruits in towers and cake constructions. Restaurantware.com offers a number of nice bamboo and plastic picks (some of them are really festive).

If you are a catering business take a look at the disposable plates page. The shop has white, black and seagreen tableware collections.

My favorite items are the double cups. Dessert served in them gets unusial look!

The shop sells the goods from thier location in Chicago and California providing international shipping to all possible countries. They accept payment via Paypal and credit cards.

Enjoy your cooking and food garnishing!

Simple Fruit Carving Arrangement With Apples and Oranges. Friut Fan

Today I will show how to make a simple fruit display using apples and orange. Very simple but effective arrangement. Take your knife and come along with me.

Check up my tutorials. Free download!

Fruit Fan

To arrange fruits like the one on the picture I use a special plate with pins. The pins provide a secure construction. The plate makes a fruit arrangement  trasportable. I use the pined plate for making 'Take Out' fruit displays.

You will need:

1 orange

2 red apples

1 green apple

1 apple for a base

some dark grapes

Toothpicks and bamboo sticks

Step 1. 

Prepare the following centerpices: 

orange lollypop - 5 pcs

apple flower - 4 pcs

apple leaf - 5 pcs

Orange lollypop, apple flower and leaf carved out of green apple

Step 2.

Set an apple on the pins. The apple will serve a base to fix the pieces on it.

The apple serves as a base

Step 3.

Fix the orange lollypops. Pin them into the apple.

Orange lollypops make the upper level of the fan

Step 4.

Fix the bamboo sticks with the apple flowers arranging them in a shape of fan.

The apple flowers make the medium level of the fruit fan

Step 5.

Add the apple leaves to the lower level.

The green apple leaves add some color to the fruit display

Step 6.

Fill the plate with fruits. 

Party fruit buffet is served!

Fruit Tray To Present Carvings

I have been offered to purchase a fruit tray in a shape of the horn of plenty. So I could present fruits and my carvings nicely. Now I am thinking if it meets my needs. The Cornucopia is made of plastics and the picture below shows how big it is. But... I am not positive about its tranportability .. 

I would be thankful to my readers if you write your impression about the Cornucopia.

Would you like to have it at your party?

This Saturday I was busy with a wedding party decoration. They have a big stand for fruits in the restaurant. On the top I adjusted a vegetable carving arrangement.

The color of the edible flowers fits the interior of the party very well.

This plastic dish with pins helps to fit fruits and vegetables nicely on the table. Melon or small fruits do not roll down from the dish owing to the pins support.

I decorate the dish with greens and settle melon and fruits on the pins.
