How To Make Individual CHARCUTERIE BOXES | Perfect for a Stress Free Party/Baby Shower or Event!

Welcome to Donna Cooking and in this week's video it's gonna be a little bit different. We're going to be having a baby shower for my youngest daughter and she's gonna be having a girl so I'm so excited but the whole theme is gonna be baby and bloom. We did some really awesome invitations. Her husband is a designer and my husband also owns a print shop so they put together these beautiful cards and baby and bloom with floral design is what it's going to be and this video I'm gonna be putting together charcuterie boxes so each lady that comes will get their own box and then I also have some for kids so I'm gonna be putting these together so come on with me in this video and let's get started. Now I've ordered some really nice things off of Amazon and I will be linking some of those items in the description box below the video. We're gonna be having the shower at my daughter-in-law's house. You might know her here on YouTube as Charisma Star and so she is a wonderful decorator and so you're gonna be amazed when you see all the pretty decorations that we're gonna have this baby shower. I just got done frosting these strawberry cupcakes and I made a strawberry cream cheese buttercream icing and the ticket to making this icing taste so delicious is you use some of the freeze-dried strawberries and you just smash it up in the frosting and it gives it a really beautiful vibrant taste. Well I got some of the food items here on the counter some of them of course are in the refrigerator and I've got a bunch of the charcuterie boxes all put together. Let me show you a couple things really quick these are the little parchment paper liners that I used for the that bottom of the boxes so it's nice it just comes right out of here you can put it in the box I totally recommend lining your boxes with some kind of parchment paper in case there's any leakage and you don't get any greasy spots on the bottom of your box and the other thing if you have anything wet they have these just at all the grocery stores and this is the smaller one they have a bigger one also that you can put salad dressings in or hummus whatever you like like that and then these are all the different skewers that I used and this is for the salami roses and I did olives on these and I had kids pepperoni on these these I just had extra but they're really pretty and these I also used for the cupcakes and these particular ones I did get at Michaels just been put together all the kids boxes for the baby shower got a whole table full of them and got some pepperoni and olives and strawberries and dried banana chips crackers and cheese and pirate booty and a drink and fruit snacks animal crackers yogurt covered pretzels just a whole assortment of things that kids will really enjoy for this baby shower individual charcuterie boxes that charcuterie boxes for the adults all done for the baby shower got 22 of them all lined up here on the table so yeah gonna get ready to transport them over to the baby shower this was really one of the most fun baby showers I have ever done and it was so easy it was hard ahead of time the day before I had to you know do a lot of prep work with cutting up the vegetables and all that and then I did get up at 730 in the morning the shower is at 2 and put together all the boxes but when the shower started I didn't have to do anything I actually got to sit and visit with all the ladies at the shower and we had like a tub full of all kinds of sparkling waters you know they're really popular right now and little waters so we had a tub with ice all the drinks in it and then I had all the boxes all laid out the kids section and then all the adult ones and then all the cupcakes were all laid out so all they had to do is grab a napkin grab a box get a drink and go sit down enjoy the shower so I hope you really enjoyed this video I had fun doing it and if this can help you out please leave me a comment and I appreciate all you guys's support and don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and share this video with a friend who might enjoy it too so until next time happy cooking and I'll see you in the next video
