Instructions
Step 1
Choose the theme of the New Year's table and decorate the dishes in accordance with it. You can focus on a specific color, for example, focusing on the Eastern calendar. In this case, the dishes and serving should be kept in one or two harmonious shades. You can also choose a uniform decoration style. For example, for a tropical-themed party, use bright colors, sparklers, cocktail umbrellas, and exotic fruits.
Step 2
Salads can be garnished with beautifully chopped vegetables. The vegetable bouquet on the salad will look original. Take a sturdy fresh cucumber, wash it, and slice it lengthwise into very thin slices with a vegetable peeler. Roll one plastic into a tight tube - it will become the center of the flower. Bend the second in half and press it to the center. Repeat this operation with all the slices. As a result, the center of the flower should be surrounded by petal-shaped slices. Secure the resulting flower with a toothpick. The same flower can be made from carrots. Decorate the salad with vegetable flowers and leafy greens.
Step 3
Decorate your New Year's desserts. The cake can be interestingly decorated with marzipan mass. Toast a glass of almonds, peel and grind into a powder in a coffee grinder or food processor. Mix the nuts with a glass of sugar. Add 1/4 tbsp. warm water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the nut mixture is firm like dough. Place the marzipan in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Step 4
Roll out the finished marzipan on a cutting board, cut a circle out of it to fit the surface of the cake, as well as a strip as wide as the height of the cake. Cover the cake with a layer of marzipan. You can also decorate the cake with marzipan figurines. To do this, ready-made marzipan can be dyed using industrial food coloring or bright natural ingredients - beet juice or lemon peel. Also, on the cake, right on top of the marzipan, you can write a congratulation with cream or draw a clock, the hands of which will point to 12 o'clock.
Step 5
Serve ice cream for kids in an original way. To do this, form three ice cream balls of different sizes and arrange them so that you get a snowman. Sprinkle the surface of the plate with powdered sugar, which will simulate snow. Make the snowman's hands from poppy straws, and cut out the nose from canned cherries. Serve quickly before the ice cream snowman begins to melt.
