Party buffet looking a little bland? You can dress it up with colorful tablecloths and utensils, but you have to admit that no matter what you do, you’ll need to mix in a bit of color for your food spread. Otherwise, the guests might not pay any attention to the dishes you’ve prepared. Well, here’s a simple but delectable treat you can use for your party.

You’ll need a styrofoam tree or figure for this decor. It should be large enough to act as a table centerpiece, and the figure should be befitting for your celebration. For example: a Christmas tree styrofoam for a Christmas party, a starfish for an under-the-sea birthday party or a large Easter egg for an Easter celebration. Then, get some party pickers or toothpicks. Lastly, you’ll need a bunch of cut up fruits, such as apples, pineapples, banana and peach.

The first step is to put at least three colorful fruit pieces on a party picker. Leave just enough space so you can stick it in the styrofoam figure. Afterwards, fill the styrofoam figure with these party picker fruit kebabs. Make sure the styrofoam’s shape is still apparent, and that you’re putting the party pickers evenly around the figure.

When you get every inch of the styrofoam covered, your yummy centerpiece is ready to be displayed! Just make sure nobody eats it until the party is over, though.

An extra tip: if you don’t have fruits, you can improvise with other food items. Use gummy bears, small pieces of chocolate or marshmallows for kiddie celebrations. Tomatoes, cheese and olives would be suitable for an adult party.

Try this fun but simple food decoration idea for your next party. Your guests will not only admire it, but they’ll also find it appetizing!
