Canapes

Christmas Canape planning

I am planning some canapes for Christmas.

This year I am going to really focus on the presentation.

I am thinking of serving all the food as little mini bites or in little mini glasses.

These are schnaps glasses from Ikea.  I was preferably looking for mini martini glasses but they are quite expensive so this is a nice budget alternative.

An Irish staple at Christmas is brown bread and smoked salmon - I am thinking of doing a "deconstructed" version in these glasses!

I think these will be perfect for a cold soup/gazpacho (Ikea again)

And finally! I bought these small cute kiln jars today,

I will use these for hummous dips with veg crudites.

Aren't they adorable!

I've put them beside a carton of juice below to show you their scale
