Here is a fun way to give your veggie platter a little more personality this holiday season. Who says snowmen have to be made with snow? Surprise your guests with a mini snowman made of cauliflower.
Looks great on any platter with any assortment of appetizers.
Assemble his body using toothpicks to hold it together. I used toothpicks for this guy's arms, but rosemary branches would look even better. I used whole cloves for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. Carrot was used for his hat.

Sharon,
how adorable! I just might steal this idea to take to my brother and sister-in-law's holiday get-together this weekend.

Jo
Oh, I'm stealing that one too - Jo, I hope we're not heading to the same party!!
Sharon - thanks for sharing...I always love new ideas! It's so cute!
Sharon
That's a great vegetable platter.
Good luck and success.
Lou Ludwig
Sharon, this is SO CUTE! What a GREAT idea, thank you!
Sharon, more creativity from you. Too cute. A cauliflower snowman would surely be a hit and thanks for the details!
Too funny, never seen this done, gotta try this one...thanks!
Sharon - Well that's just too cute!! And I think even I can do this! And just think how impressed everyone will be with my creative talents - don't worry I'll give you credit! I love to share stories about things I learn from Blogs!!!
Have a Great Day! Kathy
Wish I had this post when I was tasked with bringing a veggie platter to our Thanksgiving gathering, Sharon!
Sharon....that is sooo adorable! My daughter is vegan.....she will LOVE it!
Hi, Sharon. This post made me laugh...made my day, in fact! Very clever!
Jo-Anne and Susan: Steal with my blessing. I saw the idea on appetizer trays at a recent holiday party and created my own version. Have fun at your parties!
Terri: Thanks, I love finding new ideas and I find a lot of them here on AR.
Lou and Marney: I'm glad you like the idea, hope you find an opportunity to share it!
Ginger: I'm sure it would be a hit if you shared some cauliflower men with your family and friends!
Cindy: Have fun with it!
Kathy: You don't have to give me credit...create your snowman and display it with pride! Enjoy!
Irene: A turkey centerpiece would have been cute! We'll have to come up with a Thanksgiving version for next year! Until then, you must have some opportunity to use this snowman idea.
Chris: Awesome! I hope she likes it!
Leslie: I know it isn't horse related but I just don't think I can create a horse out of vegetables!
Sharon - Cute and good for you! WIN WIN
Judy: Not so good if you try to eat the snowman and get a toothpick stuck in your throat! Consider yourself warned!
Sharon- how in the world do you come up with these cute and creative ideas?? What a great way to get the non-veggies eaters to take an interest.
Kathy: Simple, actually! I was at a holiday party recently and the appetizers were being passed on trays with these cute little snowman and I recreated it as best I could.
That is absolutely adorable! What a great idea Sharon. Thanks for sharing!
Debra: Glad you liked it, hope you can use the idea!
Sharon, That is precious. I'm now done with all my potlucks (thank goodness) but it would be cute on Christmas day.
Marchel: I hope your Christmas guests enjoy it. Thanks!
What a cute idea. I am thinking about having a winter party in January and this would be perfect for it. You are so clever! I bet those grandsons of yours will really appreciate those snowmen in a few years!
I love it. Defintely more fun than buying the same old, same old from Costco.
Sheila: Thank you! But, more importantly...I love the new headshot! Beautiful!
Russell: I hope this means there will be vegetable snowmen at your house this year!
Sharon, I do love snowmen. This is a super idea and I will be using this for a party. Thanks,
Oh! That is so creative. Thanks for sharing the cute snowman!
Rebecca: You are welcome, I am so glad you are going to use the idea! Happy Holidays!
Irene: You are welcome! Happy Holidays!
AND THEY SAY WE SHOULD not PLAY WITH OUR FOOD BAH...THAT IS TOO MUCH FUN and thanks for sharing!!
Russell: It was fun! Hopefully my family will enjoy the one I make for Christmas Eve! Happy Holidays!
Oh what a cute idea! This veggie will definitely have this on the table :)
Lee & Carol: Me too! Merry Christmas!
Sharon - What a novel idea. I wish I had read your post last week it would have made a great center piece at our extended family Christmas get together.
Kathy: Sorry you didn't see it sooner! There is always next year!
Sharon - there is still our own family gathering on Christmas Day or perhaps a new year's event where I can use it.
Kathy: Sounds like there is going to be a lot of veggie snowmen all over the country this Christmas!
Sharon, I love vegetable decor! Your snowman is one I haven't seen until now. Thank you!
Maria: That phrase, "vegetable decor," sounds so funny! I'm glad you like it! Thanks.
