How to make a Christmas grazing table

An Australian mum has shown off her amazing Christmas breakfast buffet – and it has everything from waffles to miniature gingerbread houses.

No expense was spared on the stunning grazing table which has two donut towers, a bowl of fresh croissants and a beautiful stack of pancakes.

There are eight bowls of fruit, sprinkles and chocolate chips to decorate the pancakes and waffles as well as beautiful glass jugs filled with flavoured syrup.

Whipped cream, icing sugar and long-stemmed cake servers with tiny gingerbread houses on top finish off the decadent smorgasbord. 

one woman remarked she had ‘never had a Christmas breakfast’ like the one pictured – and that it would be a great way to kick off festivities.

Others agreed her display ‘looked better than a catering company’.

The mum shared her tips and tricks, including how she found cake stands with removable donut rods at Spotlight and the gingerbread house stands from TK Maxx.

The delicious display was given some finishing touches to make it look extra festive, including mini trees, tiny wreaths and boughs of holly.

Breakfast and dessert grazing tables appear very popular this year.

Television presenter and fashion stylist Jules Sebastian has also revealed how to make do-it-yourself pavlova grazing boards for Christmas.

The mum-of-two, 41, dubbed the platters the ‘perfect dessert’ that’s ideal for those who are short on time and prefer to pick and choose a little bit of what they love in a pavlova. 

Designed in the same way as a cheese board, the ingredients for the dessert are spread across a wooden platter for guests to make into miniature pavlovas themselves. 

‘I’m back on the plattering bandwagon and as we are approaching the entertaining season this is super impressive for visitors!’ Jules wrote on Instagram alongside a video.

To make the tasty platter, Jules used whipped cream, pre-made miniature meringues from Woolworths, assorted fresh fruits including blueberries, strawberries, kiwifruit and cherries as well as four sauces.

To store the condiments, Jules bought small glass jars from Wheel and Barrow and gold teaspoons.  

‘This is going to be a delightful mess,’ she said as she enjoyed the first bite of the miniature pavlova. 

She said the dessert is not only quick and easy to prepare, but is also child friendly, colourful and delicious.
