What is a Charcuterie Board?
A charcuterie board is a type of appetizer board that usually consists of meats, cheeses, and breads sliced and served in an appealing arrangement on cutting board, cake board, or any kind of wooden board. It can be a great way to showcase your culinary skills and provide a variety of flavors and textures for your guests to enjoy.
However, if you are looking for something a little sweeter and more unique than charcuterie, then the buttercream frosting board is just what you need!
Justine Doiron kicked off a new charcuterie board fad on social media with a popular tiktok trend featuring a butter board. Since then, all kinds of boards have appeared like cream cheese boards, hummus boards, peanut butter boards, and seasonal themed boards like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween boards. The buttercream board is a sweet twist on this trendy party appetizer. Let’s get started!
Buttercream Board
The beauty of the buttercream frosting board lies in its versatility. You can create countless combinations and color schemes to suit any theme or decor.
Once you have your board assembled, it’s time to serve! Cut the buttercream into cubes or slices so that guests can help themselves. Place utensils around the board with labels of each item so people know what they are eating. Arrange all the accompaniments so that it looks beautiful and inviting. Finally, add decorative touches like fresh flowers and garlands for a festive look.
A buttercream frosting board is sure to impress your guests with its visual appeal and mouthwatering flavors. With a little bit of creativity and effort, you can create a butterboard that is sure to stand out from the charcuterie board. So what are you waiting for?
