It took an army of food – and helpers – to pull off the Pillsbury Dome. Here are a few tricks we picked up that made the build go a little bit smoother.
Tip 1
To help the players stay upright on the field, trim off the bottoms of the Crescent dogs.
Tip 2
Plastic magazine holders (available at office supply stores) work really well to keep snacks in the stands.
Tip 3
To pipe details onto players or the field, fill a resealable plastic bag with mustard, cream cheese or sour cream and cut a small section off one of the corners.
Tip 4
Use toothpicks to hold the sandwiches together. The ones with colored frills at the top will warn your guests they're there.
Tip 5
Use a disposable foil tray to hold the dips for the field.
Tip 6
Want to keep your field looking green? Mix a little lime or lemon juice into the guacamole before putting it in the tray.
Tip 7
When putting together the snackadium, add the dry snacks first, then the cooked foods and finish up by putting the dips on the field.
