The Doctor!

Today we bring to you Doctor Who themed plating!!! 

We're going to go over a few different methods to achieve this, and in the end you'll be able to decide what's the best method to go about it, or the best combination of them to make sure that your theme get's noticed no matter how subtle or bold it may be.

Colors 

Using colors that are reminiscent of the show or certain episodes, monsters what have you. Using the right combination of colors here can make any Doctor Who fan squeal with girlish delight. This can be a little hard to execute, especially if you are as color coordinately challenged as I am. but here goes a nifty little color guide.


Stencils

An easy way to "Who" up a plate could be made by using stencils for a background of plate. I like this idea because you have so many more options available to you, but also a little bit harder to do, well you do it as pictured here using Sharpies which is a lot more permanent and less likely to loose it's integrity as food is placed on the plate, or do you roll the dice and use a cut with sugar, or different sauces? Different COLORED sauces!


artwork

Make your food look like a scene from an episode or monster, dalek shaped muffins, weeping angels cake, bow tie pasta (Bow ties are cool!) Whatever you want, it's your party cry if you want too. 




plates/cups/etc  

this is by far and away the easiest method to achieve your goal, it's easy I would almost call this cheating for the soul reason; merchandise is so readily available it's EVERYWHERE book stores, comic shops, places that are even nerdy have them it's easy, and fun, so I guess I wouldn't fault you all that much for doing it like this. 









The coolest thing about all of this is, these themes are transferable to almost anything that you're fan of.
