Dessert Table Ideas
- Set the table.Decorate the table with something that inspires you then put the table against a simple background. Cover it with fabulous cloth and add flowers and ribbons as an accent to the theme. Create platforms or place fabric-covered Styrofoam raiser boxes with different heights and shapes on which you can set up your desserts.
- Choose a collection of containers. Pick bowls, jars, vases, trays, platters, canisters and footed stands in combination of shapes and sizes. Scoops and spoons make the perfect accessory to a jar of lollies. Clear glass containers are great for holding colorful hard candies.
- Pick a color theme. Everything you put on the table must match your color scheme or theme. Try to use two or three monochromatic colors or go wild with a colorful rainbow display.
- Sweet Selection. Balance an elaborate cake with mini cupcakes, chocolates, cookies, and hard candies on the table. Some great dessert ideas include cupcakes with couture cupcake wrappers, truffles, personalized chocolate bars, cookie garlands, whoopie pies, pillow mints, malted milk balls, sweet tarts, rock candy, taffy, almonds, macaroons, centerpiece cakes, jelly beans, mints, petite fours and much more. You can also include customized drinks!
