Abstract
A food and beverage display apparatus for displaying and serving food and drinks in a tiered structure includes a holder assembly which has a base, a lid, and a plurality of sleeves. The base has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall, wherein the perimeter wall is coupled to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The base defines a recess which is surrounded by the bottom wall and the perimeter wall. The lid is removably positioned over the recess of the base. The sleeves are coupled to the lid and are arranged around a central vertical axis which extends through the lid. Each sleeve defines a channel therein for holding a food or beverage item.
