Your Guide to the Ultimate Easter Grazing Board

Easter is here, and we’re here to help you serve up the very best seasonal treats—without blowing your budget or eating up your time. Whether you’re catering for a customer, preparing a table for a community event, or simply creating something beautiful at home, a thoughtfully styled Easter grazing board is a perfect way to celebrate.

Start with the Foundation

Before diving into ingredients, it’s important to sort out the base for your grazing board. This could be a wooden chopping board, a table laid with baking paper, or a specific serving tray if you’re taking your creation on the go.

Some of our top picks:

For mobility, the Berica Designer Flare Platter Tray with a fitted lid is a great choice—it helps maintain freshness and keeps everything intact during transport.
For stationary table displays, we recommend mixing up the levels to add visual depth. Consider using a combination of a lazy Susan, a wooden bed tray, and a large rectangular chopping board to create an accessible and interesting layout.

Creating an Easter Atmosphere

Depending on your audience, your Easter theme can go in different directions. If you’re catering for families or children, lean into the traditional symbols like bunnies, chickens, and eggs. For a more elegant or reflective gathering, consider incorporating florals, crosses, and soft seasonal colours.

Styling elements like these can elevate your presentation significantly, so take a moment to think about your end-user and build your concept around them.

Sweet Balance and Variety

Fresh Fruit
A grazing table should always include something fresh to balance out the sweetness of chocolate eggs and desserts. A good mix of fruit brings colour, texture, and a refreshing break from richer items.

Favourites include berries, melon (watermelon or honeydew), sliced oranges, and grapes. If seasonal berries are hard to find, you can still include fruit by heating frozen mixed berries—this creates a warm, compote-like dish that pairs well with cakes and yoghurts.

Pastries
Pastries are a hero item for any grazing table. Not only do they elevate the look and feel of the spread, but the aroma of fresh baking adds another sensory layer to your display.

We recommend our Mini Mixed Danishes, which include a variety of flavours such as custard crowns, cinnamon swirls, and fruit crowns—perfect for pleasing a wide range of palates while staying cost-effective.

If you’re after something more substantial, our Chocolate Bretzel and Almond Bretzel make for an indulgent Easter treat. For a festive twist, try shaping them into bunny ears. Or, for something even more innovative, try your hand at our Hot Cross Croissant—a fresh take on a beloved Easter classic.

Cakes and Tarts
While not essential, cakes and tarts are a great addition if you’re catering to a smaller or more premium audience. Mini cupcakes with Easter-themed decorations always go down well, but one of our favourite options is macarons. They’re colourful, elegant, and easy to customise.

In a recent post, we shared some simple yet effective ways to decorate macarons for Easter—they’re a great way to add personality and charm to your board without a huge time commitment.
