Waffle Bar

I was looking for an easy but delicious brunch 

to feed a crowd for my youngest grandson's 

baby blessing.  We were expecting around 50, 

right after church.  My daughter suggested waffles, 

so we ended up with a fun waffle bar. 

You will notice I am using the gorgeous gold and 

whitewashed board my middle son made me.  It 

makes the spread more elegant.

I decided a white and greenery theme would be perfect, 

so I gathered silver, mercury glass, and crystal and filled 

everything with greenery, baby's breath and white roses, 

all from Trader Joe's, so it was very reasonable.  

Any container can make a pretty arrangement,

 even a gravy boat, 

or a sugar bowl, 

both set on pedestals to add height.

I made sure the serving board looked good from 

both sides.  This is the sink side.  

The candlesticks were a project done at our craft group.  

I happened to be gone that night and I was gifted these 

three at our Christmas party.  I was just thrilled.  They 

are made by stacking and gluing candle holders and 

salt and pepper shakers and such from thrift stores.  

I found this wonderful product to help tapers 

stay upright on Amazon.  Click here to find 

Stickum.  Just use a pea size ball on the bottom of 

the candle.  It is amazing.  When I think of all the 

ways and means I have tried - I am so happy to 

find this.  

We used four waffle makers that each make 4 squares, 

so we could have fresh waffles for everyone.  It also 

works well to make them ahead and pop them back in 

the waffle maker to reheat them.

The board was filled with berries, sugars, crushed Oreos, 

mini chocolate chips and crushed Heath bars. 

 I just loved this fun bottle of Maple Syrup from 

Trader Joe's.  We hadn't had this before. 

We had three kinds of syrups, including homemade 

Buttermilk Syrup, which is everyone's favorite.  The 

baking soda in it interacts with the acids in the 

fruits to give a fun little tingle on your tongue.

My son in law's mother made the mini quiches 

to go along with the brunch and we did sugared 

bacon and plain bacon in the oven, which works 

really well for a crowd.  

We also served Nutella, peanut butter, lemon curd 

and Biscoff Spread on chocolate and plain waffles. 

It was a lovely event, and everyone was served easily.  

I love finding something easy and filling, yet beautiful 

to serve a crowd.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Let me know if you try a waffle bar.
