These wintry trees made from doughnut holes have a Dr. Seuss-like quality to them – minus the Grinch. This project is especially easy for kids, and more stunning than the sum of its parts.

Here's a savory alternative or addition to the doughnut hole tree. Place the trees on the table together to make a wintry tree forest, or serve them alone. Choose vegetables and cheese in colors that complement your party's color palette.

Cheese towers are so awe-inspiring that some people are even replacing their wedding cakes with them. Constructing a cheese tower is all just a matter of balance.

Glam up unshelled mixed nuts by spraying them with shimmery metallic edible food coloring. They’re beautiful on their own or as an accent in other centerpieces.
