UNDER THE CLOCHE

Ok if you are wondering what a cloche is then carry on reading...
The word ‘cloche’ is French, meaning simply ‘bell’. Earlier origins are found in the Medieval Latin word ‘clocca’, or clock. 
Today the word cloche is used in many ways, typically when something is bell-shaped such as a hat or a food covering.
Now we have all seen these beautiful glass domes that often cover cakes and sweet goodies, but here are some other suggestions for the use of a cloche. You can literally place anything under a glass bell and it will become a decor centerpiece or focal point.
Enjoy!
