Sensational House

While attending an early holiday party I noticed something both practical and clever that I would like to replicate. The punch bowl not only looked inviting with its festive raspberry coloured contents, and chopped fruit, but their was another addition I was not expecting. The host had taken the mold for mini bundt cakes and turner it into an ice mold.

Making the ice larger than the regular cube size made it easier to avoid them, and to only scoop out the intended item, the festive punch. When I asked the host about it, he said he had gotten the idea from a wedding he had attended where the caterer had placed a regular sized bundt mold in the champagne punch bowl. Since, he had been doing variations each time he had a chance. He said that not only was he happy to have come across the idea because it was adorable, but because it gave him a reason to pull out the punch bowl more often. I expect I will do the same next year.
