Food Garnishing Tips and Decoration Ideas

Let’s quit having the dull, unorganized and every-day picnics.  Let’s throw the picnic or party that everyone would envy.  Everyone who is anyone in your circle of friends will be in attendance and will be talking about the great party you put together for days, weeks or even years. 

Food garnishing tips can be found in a variety of places.  You can Google it.  You can find books at the retail store and you can come up with your own ideas. 

My niece is a huge Disney fan and has cut watermelon slices into the shape of Mickey Ears with a popsicle stick inserted for handling.  My sister has cut apples into flower designs, on skewers sticks to make a beautiful edible bouquet.  I had found a recipe to Pilgrim hats from cookies, candy and icing. 

You can be creative and make a themed party more interesting with a few helpful hints.  Food garnishing tips and decoration ideas can provide for you easy-to-follow directions, too. 

Here are few food garnishing tips and decoration ideas that I’m happy to share with you. 

 

 

Take the snack size milky way bars, with some plain m&ms and a teddy grahm to make these cute little car. 

 

Garnish a few bananas, kiwi and halo slices placed perfectly on a plate to create a summer themed treat. 

 

If it’s Thanksgiving, take a Hershey kiss, with a chocolate chip and half of a nutter butter round to create the perfect looking acorn favors.  (This picture shows the full nutter butter cookie, but I prefer using only 1/2 of it for thinner "cap" on the acorn.  Connect them with a small of icing, or lightly held the end of the Hershey kiss and chocolate chip)
