Chocolate Bundt Cake Wreath

A Bundt cake pan is a great tool to get the perfect shape for your edible holiday wreath. Fill this pan with your favorite chocolate cake mix, then drizzle a vanilla glaze over the top, and place red cherries around the surface for a more festive look.

Cinnamon Roll Wreath

Take the cinnamon roll dough log and make small cuts along one side of it to allow the pieces to spread out. Make sure you don't completely slice one roll from the next, so they still come together as a baked wreath. Next, fan this dough out into a circle and bake. Drizzle with glaze for a sweet breakfast treat.

Pigs in a Blanket Wreath

Making a circle of festive pigs in a blanket creates a lovely appetizer wreath. The golden brown exterior offsets the rusty red color of the hot dogs for a Christmas colored wreath. Don't forget your bow on one end of this display for platter perfection!

Pizza Wreath

Make this wreath as a fun family activity for a delicious dinner. Simply cut a whole in the center of your pizza dough to make a dough wreath. Have everyone's personal dough wreaths ready for them to customize, and lay out a topping bar filled with green veggies, like spinach and broccoli, and red toppings, like pepperoni and tomatoes. Don't forget to make a bow out of red peppers for extra glam. With these tips, your dinner wreaths will be picture perfect in no time!

Rice Krispies Treat Wreath

Rice Krispies Treats taste amazing and can be shaped into just about anything. Simply use green food coloring to dye the melted marshmallows green, and combine them with the Rice Krispies for your dough. Shape this into a wreath and decorate with holly berries and mistletoe sprinkles. You can make one big wreath for a holiday party or individual wreaths for your kids to decorate.

Sandwich Platter Wreath

If you're hosting a gathering during the day, you may just want to pick up a platter of pre-made sandwiches to serve. Jazz up this platter with rosemary or holly, and place a festive red candle in the middle for a Christmas glow.

Vegetable Tray Wreath

Use green vegetables, like broccoli, to look like the evergreen part of the wreath and spread tomatoes throughout to represent the holly berries. Be sure to put a delicious homemade dip, like ranch, in the center of your vegetable tray for a healthier appetizer.
