Easy as 1-2-3: Tri-Level Server

 
You probably have everything already to create this 3 level server
that takes only seconds to make.


 

This easy serving idea takes seconds to make with things you already have in your cabinet. It’s so incredibly useful that you will find yourself wanting to serve specific choices just so you can use it.

It’s great when you don’t have a lot of surface area and want to bring selections up to interesting levels.  It’s also a good thing to consider when you have various selections that for whatever reason you might want to serve on separate levels, such as fruits, cheeses and cookies.
 
I could see a shrimp cocktail served on the top with lemons and seafood sauce, then maybe clams and then oysters on the half shell.
 

Here, you can see how it easily transitions for a dessert selection of home-made cookies.  A tea light was placed on the top and assorted cookies are layered around the sides.
 
 
This shows the top level being taken off to show how the Corinth petite bowl was used as a stacking unit to create the layers.  Consider that this could hold candy like malted milk balls or caramels or something that couuld go with the dessert (molten chocolate for dipping?)
 
 
 
All three layers, created from; starting with the dinnerplate, bowl, salad plate, bowl and side plate, topped with tea light and then simply stacked.   If spacers are wobbly you can adhere with removable adhesive like floral clay or rubber cement which will firm up the stack and prevent sliding as well.
