Lesson on Food Presentation! Look at all the donuts! =) haha you will realise some looks appetising but some *ahem just dont whet your appetite...

Thats why we have a lesson on food presentation. Food presentation can be anything from appearance to use of colour to types of plates/wares used. We had 3 marking criterias while marking these donuts, mainly 1) Toppings / garnishing

2) Colour

3) Serving Plate

 So each plate is upon 3 marks in total. Let me walk you through the different donuts presentation! (X) means deduct 1 mark and (/) means mark is given.



  

(/) Toppings / garnishing

(/) Colour

(X) Serving Plate - NEVER serve dessert in an oval plate, whatsmore a melamine plate!

 

  

(/) Toppings / garnishing - Topping as in tomatos were given but should avoid tomatos in this case

(X) Colour - Doesnt really match

(X) Serving Plate - Plate used is wrong as well, should have put in doiley for color contrast

  

(X) Toppings / garnishing - No garnish was used

(/) Colour - Bright

(X) Serving Plate - Kind of small for 2 donuts (we should serve 1 donut instead of 2!)

  

(X) Toppings / garnishing - nothing is used

(/) Colour - donut looks good =x

(X) Serving Plate - Cartoon plate???

 

(/) Toppings / garnishing - Heart shaped bits

(/) Colour - It looks so sappealing!! and nice that you dont bear to eat it!

(/) Serving Plate - Correct plate and allows color contrast

  

(/) Toppings / garnishing - Raisins were used

(X) Colour - colour dont look appetising to me

(X) Serving Plate - Wrong plate

  

(/) Toppings / garnishing - apples but you can notice it has oxidised and turned brown =(

(x) Colour - i think it is lacking in some colour or it seemed too empty

(/) Serving Plate

(/) Toppings / garnishing - Golden kiwi and cherry!

(/) Colour - It looks like a good match!

(/) Serving Plate - Typical white plate in a leaf shape!!

I forgot to take picture of the last donut =( but i guess the above is more than enough right? =D I guess, the best bet would be to use white plate which allows easy matching. Keep a lookout on how food is presented the next time you dine out in cafe/restaurant!
