How to Make the Cutest Cornucopia Cups!
These Cornucopia Cups are an adorable Thanksgiving appetizer that are fun and easy to make! They are perfect for both kids and adults and also look so pretty and festive!
Ingredients
For the Cornucopia Cups:
- Bread dough: homemade or Pillsbury French bread Roll
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Cooking spray
Ingredient Ideas to Fill the Cups:
- Fruit, such as grapes, strawberries, and blueberries
- Cheese Cubes
- Meat slices, such as salami, turkey, or ham
- Herbs, such as Rosemary sprigs or Basil leaves
Directions
- Line sheet with wax paper and line cornucopias carefully so they do not touch during the cooking process.
- Roll dough ¼ inch thin or unroll dough from can.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut into thin strips. You want them to be roughly around ¼ inch. (Each cornucopia will need 6-7 strips to create.)
- Using your foil, start at a corner and mold into cornucopia shape. Foil can be loose and breathable, it doesn’t have to be twisted into a tight form.
- Lightly spray foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking prior to wrapping with dough.
- Starting at the point of the cornucopia, start wrapping the foil in the same direction, connecting each piece in a Spiral design around the cornucopia.
- When you get to your final piece, fold in half and twist the ends together to create a spiral. This will be your decorative opening of your cornucopia.
- Using your egg wash, attach the spiraled dough over the last layer & tuck in any extra to the bottom.
- Cook according to the bread directions.
- Remove and let cool.

Perfect Presentation Platters
Round Trays: For a round wooden serving platter, I’d recommend this round wooden Target tray, which I get so much use out of year-round! I love this White Reclaimed Wood Tray that I would totally recommend! You might also like this wooden Lazy Susan. I also love this cute board with a handy double-handle!
Additionally, I use this rectangular tray all the time. (Both at a great price!) Antique Farmhouse also has this beautiful set of three!
Party Trays: For a higher-end choice, I love my MacKenzie-Childs checkered party tray. If you’d prefer some glitz, you could also go with this Gold Metal Party Tray from Walmart for a smaller gathering.
Can I Prep These Cornucopia Cups Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can wrap the bread roll dough around the foil in about a day ahead of time and just store in the fridge before you bake. You can also cook the crescent rolls up to three days in advance – just be sure to store in a Ziploc Bag or airtight Tupperware container so they stay fresh.
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover Cornucopia Cups, I’d recommend storing the meats, cheeses, and fruits in a separate Tupperware container in the fridge so the rolls don’t get soggy. These should stay fresh refrigerated for 1-2 days.
