I love it when holiday baking time comes around. It’s the perfect excuse for having friends and family over for brunch. That was my inspiration for this Christmas morning buffet spread, which features gobs of fun new products from Alpha Stamps.
The foundation for this sweet feast is the new Walnut Finish Dining Table which is topped with a 1:12 Table Runner in white. There’s also a red option if that suits your project better.
Since I wanted to include more than would fit on the main dining table, I opted to include a side table as well. I used an Unfinished Pie Crust Table that was painted a light ivory color and inset with a holiday image cut from a sheet of Christmas scrapbook paper.
On top of this smaller table I set a candy dish made by painting a cast metal Xmas Tree Candy Dish red after giving it a good scrub in soapy water to get rid of any mold release residue that might remain. Inside the dish are some of the new Christmas Peppermints Polymer Clay Slice Mix which remind me of those Starlight Mints my grandma used to always have on hand. There are also some red Mixed Color Acrylic Pearls – 3mm that remind me of cinnamon red hot fireballs. Yum!
For serving, I decorated two of the new White Coffee Cups with Gingerbread Tiny Christmas Stickers. The stack of Gold Edged White Fluted Plates got images from the Retro Santa & Penguin Tiny Christmas Stickers, as did the Square White Ceramic Canister with Lid. Using nail stickers is a simple way to make tableware fit for any occasion.
One of the holiday treats I make every year is peppermint bark. It’s a layer of melted dark chocolate that’s allowed to harden. On top of that goes a layer of white chocolate flavored with peppermint extract and crushed candy canes sprinkled on top while the white chocolate is still soft. I kind of did the same thing with polymer clay. A layer of dark brown clay rolled thin topped with a layer of white clay. The peppermint on top is made from white and red clay ropes twisted together and baked. Once hardened I chopped them into small pieces and pressed those into the white clay and baked it all together.
Chunks of bark joined the new Holly 2-Tone Christmas Cookies and Mini Wafer Cookie Rolls in a Green Tree Candy Tray or Mini Shadowbox.
I adore these little 1:12 Scale Chipboard Sleighs. I painted it brown and white reminiscent of gingerbread and decorated it with a little Santa on the front from the set of Mini Resin Christmas Embellishments. It’s filled with Tiny Polymer Clay Candy Canes and Red & Green Striped Candy Sticks.
This Mini Cookie Sheet is loaded with a Tall Christmas Tree Cupcake and an assortment of tarts. There’s a Tiny Strawberry Tart, a Tiny Fruit Tart with Shortbread Crust, a Mango Blueberry Fruit Tart and a Tiny Mixed Fruit Tart.
This White Ceramic Serving Tray or Baking Pan holds the new Tiny Christmas Donuts.
I made a festive wreath from a length of the new Mini Red Pip Berry Garland and the new Snowy Christmas Resin Cabochon Mix. This mix has some of the cutest little decorations, including a tiny snow globe.
For this project I opted to keep it simple and just used the snowflakes from the mix.
A Wood Double-Layer Rack holds the plates next to a Tiny 3D Resin Santa which reminds me of a Christmas bell. One of the new Christmas Teapot Set -Red sits on the top shelf along with the Square White Ceramic Canister which holds Mini Silverware.
Filling out this brunch banquet are a Yule Log Cake and a Plum Pudding Cake with Holly next to a gold Metal Cake or Pie Server.
The pie crust table also holds one of the new Red Splatter Coffee Pots next to the mugs and candy dish.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’re inspired to make a holiday buffet of your own! The wonderful supplies I used may be found right HERE.
