Hi All -

I'm having my GRAND RE-OPENING tomorrow night. I'll be done with school on March 28th and graduate May 1st and I'm ready to get back to business. I have 15 confirmed guests for tomorrow night and it's very casual, no demo, just food, fun prizes, mystery host...

Anyhow, I want to display the 3 tier stand, and I've got my menu done but dan't think of what to display on 3 tier stand

Menu is all from Spring 2009 Seasons Best
Moroccan Hummus cups
Asian Pork Skillet
Jalepeno Popper pizzas
Fresh Pineapple Salsa
Pineapple Torte

I'd like to put something in the stand, but I don't want to cook another thing...

Any suggestions.

Thanks!
 
buy some different cookies or something to put it in, a different one on each level.
 
Layer the hummus cups and the jalapeno pizzas. Or put one on each layer with flowers in the bottom layer.

I heard on a training CD about one consultant who uses it at her check-out for her 3 pile system. So, she has recipe cards on one level, hosting info on the next, and recruiting info on the third.
 
I like to display a nice mound of grapes, cookies, and wrapped candy. This combo looks fabulous:angel:

Naturally, it's the wrapped candies. No one wants to work that hard for sweets.
 
I used the stand at a host's house recently and here is how we set it up...

Top level---Medium Bamboo Bowl w/fresh strawberries
Middle level--Medium Bamboo Bowl w/fresh green grapes
Bottom level--Medium Bamboo Platter w/Spicy Pinneapple Rum Sauce over cream cheese

The Platter set perfectly in that bottom layer. All the guests said that the sauce complimented the fresh fruit nicely because of the sweet taste of the sauce. I sold the 4 of the platters, 2 stands and 8 bowls at that show because of it. They all said that the catalog didn't do justice to how beautiful the bamboo really is!! I had the cracker tray in front of the stand with the crackers for the cream cheese and the large bamboo platter off to one side with the jalapeno popper pizzas on it.

HTH!!

I plan on layering the hummus cups and jalapeno pizzas.

Just finished doing the layered fruit in the trifle...there's a pic somewhere the cantaloupe, pineapple and melon. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!:)
 
Yay Annie! Good Luck tonight. I'll write your email back this weekend, I promise! Off to work today. :)

How do I choose what to put on each tier of the stand?

When choosing what to put on each tier, consider the size and weight of the items. Heavier items, like cheese blocks or dips, work well on the bottom tier, while lighter items, such as pastries or fruits, can be placed on the top tier. This arrangement not only looks appealing but also ensures stability.

Adding decorative elements like themed napkins or tablecloths can enhance the overall presentation.

What are some tips for arranging food on the 3 Tier Stand?

To create an eye-catching display, start by placing larger items on the bottom tier and gradually move to smaller items on the top tier. Use varying heights by stacking items or using small dishes to add dimension. Additionally, consider color contrast and texture to make the arrangement visually appealing.

Can I use the 3 Tier Stand for non-food items?

Yes, the 3 Tier Stand can also be used for non-food items! It can be a great way to display craft supplies, party favors, or even bathroom essentials like towels and toiletries. Just ensure that the items are stable and not too heavy for the stand.
