Customized Macaroni and Cheese
At Stella McCartney's Electricity-Free Carnival in New York in 2012, a mac 'n' cheese station was set up as a two-part offering: guests could either select a mini serving on a spinach cone from a Ferris-wheel-shaped stand, or opt for a full cup that could be customized with toppings such as veggie bacon bits, truffle oil, jalapeños, scallions, or sriracha sauce.

Wolfgang Puck Catering has set up its playful Easter Egg display at events including bridal shows and the 2012 Governors Ball in Los Angeles. Displayed on a springlike bed of grass, the dish tucked vanilla-and-wild-strawberry cake into gilded eggshells; tiny lavender macarons topped each treat. The company can also use the eggs to hold savory snacks.
