    Host Jeanne Benedict shows you how to create a sophisticated Architectural Foodscapes party.

    In this episode host Jeanne Benedict and the party hosts (Maureen and Don) create a visually stunning get-together where the architecture of the party space is prevalent in every detail. The color scheme is taken from a wall of sculpture in the home and mimicked in the food presentation trays. Jeanne and Maureen create food trays with glowing feet. The food trays are placed throughout the party space and hold bite-sized architecturally designed foods. Jeanne and Don set up a mashed potato martini bar and place napkin rings that will hold a deviled egg presentation on ledges in the main party space. Maureen and Jeanne show how to create the deviled egg sculptures, and they also create a dessert soup that is served in a wine glass for dessert.

    This party is rated 2 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most difficult, and is geared toward the skills of a frequent entertainer.
