Check out these cute Ladybug canapés (also known as Ladybird Beetles). Okay, this is the last blog post from my weekend away to Cabarita Beach last weekend, I promise. I think I might be suffering from post holiday blues and haven’t been able to think about much else other than my weekend away and the relaxing time I had.
On the Friday afternoon, after we arrived, we all headed up to the Penthouse apartment (which was also booked for members of our group) for canapés and drinks. We were all asked, when booking, whether we wanted bubbles, red or white wine and a bottle of our preferred drink awaited in our apartment. With drinks in hand and a plate of these ‘ladybug’ canapés, off we went to get to know each other better.
These are really easy to put together. I did these ‘ladybug’ style only because of the group being called “Travelbugs” and not for any other reason. All you do is take a cracker, spread on cream cheese spread (I used a cream cheese and chives dip), top with half a cherry tomato which had been cut in half, a pitted olive and then 2 short pieces of chive placed in the centre of the olive.
These would be great for a little girl’s ‘ladybug’ themed birthday party, baby shower or “Travel Bugs” cocktail party!
I'm in love with these! So cute!
Great idea, Anne. I am going to use this idea with other types of cheese spreads. Thanks for sharing. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
