  • Alternative presentations included magnificent ice sculptures, spectacular table arrangements and printed paper or cardboard that lies underneath and around the focal point as well as average serving trays or chargers. There are also various readily available shaped trays that compartmentalize foods such as a child's feeding dish, lunch box and carry out food containers. However, none of these containers are formed by food and enhanced by artistic overlays to enhance their aesthetics and maximize their beauty. They do not utilize the food to shape the character, picture, symbol, shape, or item, but rather store non-specific foods in these compartments. There are platters that are in the shape of characters, such as a Santa platter where the food is served on it as a whole. Edible Enhancements is not a container nor does not use compartments to separate non-specific foods, it uses specific foods and colors in the pre-determined cavities, holes or both to form a character, picture, shape, symbol or item. There is nothing in the marketplace that allows for an approach where the food itself forms the character, picture, symbol, or any other artistic form and then places it into a complimentary background to maximize it beauty or aid the end-user to form an infallible presentation or food works of art.
