Gummi Worms Tablescape

July 15,  2023 is National Gummi Worm Day. While the origin of the day is in question, it is fun to observe it by eating gummi worms, sharing them with friends, or trying recipes out that contain gummi worms. You might add them as an ice cream topping for a worm sundae or place them in a drink. Fun. (By the way, the proper spelling is "gummi" and not "gummy." I've been spelling it wrong for years.)

Pat couldn't wait to set the table this week - inspired by all the colors and whimsical nature of gummi worms.

As you can see, each place setting has a different colored dinner plate, accent plate, and bread and butter plate

Flatware is "Butterfly" by Godinger

This bold napkin ring is from Pier 1.

The glassware has unusual and whimsical rims that add to the fun.

Pat added containers of gummies as each end of the table

Pat baked a moist chocolate cake  for "dirt" and crumbled it into these individual appetizer glasses by Libby. Then she decorated it with colorful gummi worms. Serve with chocolate syrup or whipped cream.
