I'm hosting an engagement party and the food is going to be served buffet-style. My menu includes mini crab cakes with a citrus aioli and a fruit salsa. What is a creative, visually appealing way to serve them without them getting lumped into the buffet? I had thought about maybe doing like a lollipop kind of thing....?????
 
you simply offer it in the appropriate order just like any other dinner serving. keep the buffet trays out of the way until you're ready for the main meal, then set them out. Another way to do it would be to serve your appetizers in a different location/room away from where you'll be having the dinner, ie serve the apps. in a living room vs the kitchen or dining room.
It can't get lumped in if it's the only thing out there (save cheese and crackers etc...), besides, no one wants to see their dinner sitting around in a warming tray for hours
