You can’t have an Olympic party without an Olympic torch! We crafted these simple and elegant centerpieces that really brought home the win!

I found the perfectly shaped “vase” at Dollar Tree. Here’s a secret: it’s a pilsner glass! The shape of the pilsner is truly reminiscent of the Olympic torch. I snapped up two for only $2. If you can’t get to Dollar Tree, here are some similar pilsner glasses on Amazon.

I purchased some gold and yellow flowers at the market, to mimic the flames of the torch and arranged them into the “vases.”

Pull together a terrific and tasty fruit Charcuterie board, featuring the Olympic rings! It’s eye-catching, a crowd pleaser, and easy to create, if you follow just a few simple steps:

Choose a large cutting board or platter as the “foundation.”

Place five small ramekins on the board to serve as forms for the rings.

Choose fruits, vegetables or meats that mirror the colors of the Olympic rings. Once you really start thing about your choices, the possibilities are endless!

HERE’S WHAT WE CHOSE:

Blue – blueberries (seemed like a natural choice).

Black – blackberries are in season right now and looked great at the store, they were impossible to pass up. We also added a few black figs into the ring for some additional flavors. 

Red – we used strawberries, but there are loads of options here. Think raspberries, dried cranberries, red apple cubes … so many choices. 

Yellow – cubed pineapple worked great on our board. 

Green – we chose honey dew melon and seedless table grapes, but kiwi would also be a great option.

PRO TIP: If you want to do a more traditional charcuterie board, there are lots of options with olives, cheeses and meats that are perfect for the color palette of the Olympic rings. 

HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL IDEAS:

To fill in the background, we stuck with foods that were white. This allowed the colors of the Olympic rings to really pop. Think about items like yogurt covered pretzels, yogurt covered raisins, popcorn, pound cake, marshmallows and, of course, nuts!

Not only do the ramekins make it easy to form the rings, they allow you to add a few dips onto the board! Everybody wins!

Next, we filled the bowls with whipped cream, as well as a variety of yummy fruit dips from Marzetti’s including their cream cheese, French vanilla yogurt, chocolate, and salted caramel dips. YUM!
