Plan B


My attempt at creating hummus cupcakes was kind of a bust.  Hummus just isn't pretty.  And my icing skills are bad.  I confess, I had to move on to plan B, a.k.a. "The Vertical Vegetable Tray."

I stole the idea from something I saw at a friend's wedding shower.  The hummus and ranch were actually added closer to the start of the baby shower.  (Thought it might be bad for the nurse to serve spoiled dip to the church ladies!)  The only downside to this set-up is that I had to hang out near the table to  keep up with the refills.

To replicate this, you can purchase the vases at Walmart or Hobby lobby.  Then choose your dips and pick the appropriate vegetables.  In the deep South where Ranch dressing is always a hit, I was impressed how much everyone enjoyed artichoke and spinach hummus.  And so glad I bought extra bags of cheese.  People actually like cheese cubes (who knew?).
