A large board or tray is the perfect centerpiece for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a family gathering, a day with friends, or a large celebration, a large display of artisan crafted delectables is sure to impress and delight. But did you know that there are many creative ways to use a board or tray beyond charcuterie? Here are five of our favorites:

1. Dessert Display

Who says charcuterie boards are just for savory treats? Use your board to display a delicious selection of desserts, from bite-sized cookies and pastries to elegant petit fours and cupcakes. You can also incorporate fruit, chocolate, and other sweet treats to create a beautiful and indulgent dessert spread.

2. Brunch Spread

Looking for a way to elevate your brunch game? Use your board to create a beautiful and delicious brunch spread. Arrange a selection of pastries, fresh fruit, and breakfast favorites like bacon and eggs. You can even include a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar for a fun and interactive twist.

3. Cocktail Hour

Hosting a cocktail hour or happy hour? Your board or tray can be used as your centerpiece creating a stunning display of appetizers and small bites. Include a variety of cheeses, cured meats, and other savory treats, along with crackers, bread, and dips. You can also add a selection of olives, nuts, and other snackable items to round out the spread.

4. DIY Taco Bar

Spice up your next event or family night with a DIY taco bar! Use a large board or tray to display a variety of toppings, including seasoned beef or chicken, salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. Provide guests with tortillas and let them build their own tacos to their liking. It's a fun and interactive way to serve a crowd.

5. Seafood Display

Take advantage of the beachside location of Ormond Beach and serve a seafood display using your tray or board. Display an array of fresh and chilled seafood like shrimp, crab legs, lobster, and oysters. Include sauces and dips to compliment the seafood, and serve with lemon wedges for an added touch.

A large tray or board isn't just for charcuterie.
