Page 3 of 6 The Punch Bowl
 According to the caterer, the type of punch was "undetermined" when I called. It had been narrowed down to two, a cranberry based punch or a pineapple based punch. This gives me a 50/50 chance that I will choose right. I chose cranberry because it would add some extra color. I purchased a Chrysnbon punch bowl set, come miniature "ice," and some "scenic water." I also purchased some dye to color the "punch and Scenic "milk" for making  the dip for the vegetable tray. To make the punch, you follow the directions on the Scenic Water. When melted and then colored, pour into the punch bowl. Add the ladle and the mini ice cubes. Meatballs
 The meatballs were made from brown Fimo®. I made a snake as I did when making the fruits and pinched off small pieces which I rolled into small balls. After I had made 20+ "meatballs". These were baked according to the directions. When cool, I placed them in a metal miniature bowl which I painted gold. Next, I used the Scenic Water that I colored a darker red with a small drop of purple/black to make the water a really dark red and poured over the meatballs. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
 The strawberries were made when I made the ones for the fruit platter. After baking, I painted a part of the strawberry with dark chocolate paint.  I cut out a flower from a paper doiley and glued it to a metal miniature place that had been painted gold. next, I glued the strawberries to the plate.
