2. 1. Good mise en place is essential.
In making canapes especially for large functions,
all bases, spreads and garnishes must be prepared
ahead of time so that final assembly may go
quickly and smoothly.

3. 2. Assemble as close as possible to serving time.
 Bases quickly become soggy, and spreads and
garnishes dry out easily. After placing them in a
tray, cover them lightly with plastic and held for
a short period of time under refrigeration. Safe
food handling and storage must be observed.

4. 3. Select Harmonious flavor combinations in
Spreads and Garnish such as;
 Mustard and ham, lemon butter and caviar,
pimiento cream cheese and sardines, tuna salad
and capers, anchovy butter, hard cooked egg slice
and olive.

5. 4. Makes sure that at least one of the
ingredients is spicy in flavor.
A Bland Canape has little value as an
appetizer.

6. 5. Use high quality ingredients.
Leftover can be used for canapes, but they
must be carefully handled and stored to retain
freshness

7. 6. Keep it simple.
Simple meat arrangements are more
attractive than extravagant one. Be sure that
canapes hold together and do not fall apart in
the customers hands.

8. 7. Arrange canapes carefully and attractively
in trays.
Each tray should carry an assortment of
flavor and textures, so there is something for
every taste.
