Ilove having fun with these “pastry servers!” You can find domes at yard sales, flea markets or thrift stores for just a couple of dollars. Look for some unique and different candle holders, glue a glass lunch plate
on them, be creative with a design, and voila! You have a one of a kind pastry server! This cheese dome was first etched with etching crème then painted with enamel paints. It’s so easy! I hope you have as much enjoyment etching and painting this holiday project as I did creating it! Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!
