Dessert tables add to the fun and uniqueness of each party and delights your guests with scrumptious treats as well. The next time you throw a birthday bash, bridal shower, or a Fourth of July party, why not try setting up a pretty dessert table to impress your guests? Here are three helpful tips to consider.
Start with a magnificent centerpiece
A beautifully designed cake is usually the dessert table’s crowning glory, but cupcake towers have also been recent favorites because of their novelty. (There’s also the overall convenience of having your guests just pick out a cupcake to eat instead of making them slice the cake into smaller pieces, which sometimes proves to be a tad bit messy.)
Dress your cake or cupcake tower up according to your party theme, but make sure you pay attention to the detail of the cake stand you use as well. When decorating for a kiddie party, it would be smart to avoid using crystal or porcelain as children can be a bit rowdy and could topple them over and break them. Plastic and wooden cake stands are easily available these days, and they could even add a bit of character to your dessert table.
Crystal and porcelain cake stands would be a better choice for weddings, or other formal functions such as corporate parties. Use it as it is, or add a simple detail like a pretty bow or colored stones underneath it, and you’re ready to go!
Color me pretty
You need not use the entire color palette to make your dessert table stand out; just choose a nice color scheme that would fit your theme and play around with it to achieve your desired effect. Red, white and blue would be the perfect color scheme for a Fourth of July celebration, for example, so come up with ways to incorporate these colors on your desserts.
Splash color onto your vanilla-white cupcake frosting with red and blue candy sprinkles, or serve red iced tea/cocktails with a blue and white striped straws. You can also serve star-shaped cookies with colored sugar frosting, and fill candy dishes or mason jars with red and blue gumballs. Colored utensils like cups, spoons and forks,as well as plates can also give your setting a nice touch.
Don’t hesitate to accentuate
Nothing makes a party more enjoyable than a wonderful, well-thought of set of decors that help create the perfect ambiance for you and your guests, and you shouldn’t forget to decorate your dessert table too!
Choose a simple table runner that will bring out the pretty colors of your dessert spread and accent the table with different objects according to your theme. A stuffed toy or other playthings, for example, would give a fun, playful vibe for a kiddie party, while dainty flowers and decorative candles may be used for a more romantic feel at a wedding party. Displaying your party favors in the same table is also a good idea, since guests can just easily take one souvenir after grabbing some dessert.
Whatever it is you choose to accent your dessert table with, just make sure that you don’t do it excessively as to inconvenience your guests while they help themselves with the food. We don’t want any accidents while we’re having a good time!
