It’s a fun creative activity even for those who are brand new to food art. One of my readers had a food art day at the senior facility where she works. All the employees participated and a great time was had by the residents and the employees. Another reader participated in a potluck among friends where each couple was assigned a asked the bring a food arrangement that could be eaten and shared that was all of one assigned color. Her color was purple. She featured eggplant, cabbage, purple potatoes and yams. Besides the larger more formal competitions, there are lots of ways to have fun with a simple food art event or competition. Get those creative juices flowing!
