5. Fill each plate with a spring flatbread
Who better to turn to for Easter table setting ideas than Martha Stewart? Her recipe for Julie’s Flatbread produces hors d’oeuvres that are divine enough to display as decor. Make these palm-sized flatbreads and set them on appetizer plates just before guests arrive. As a delicious touch, adorn the table with a bottle of organic extra virgin olive oil.
6. Dress the table with dessert
You put so much effort into your Easter food, why not let everyone admire it for as long as possible? We love the idea of having a carrot cake-filled martini glass at each place setting. Make your carrot cake ahead of time and assemble inglasses shortly before your gathering. Fill each martini glass a quarter of the way with crumbled carrot cake. Add cream cheese frosting to the halfway mark, and then repeat with another layer of cake and frosting. Set aside some frosting and tint with natural food coloring to make an orange and green carrot design for the top.
As you think about these Easter table ideas and possibly others, remember that setting a space for joy and celebration is most important. The food, fancy plates, flowers and other decor should simply be means of expressing and sharing the beauty of the world.
