You’ve seen them at weddings, baby showers, holiday celebrations, and other events: dessert tables. They’re a fun, dynamic way to invite guests to enjoy sweet bites. The best part about a dessert table setup is customizing the display to fit your event’s theme. Discover some of the best ideas for creating a dynamic dessert table display.
Elevate Your Baked Goods With Pedestals
Cake pedestals aren’t just for displaying cakes. They also make excellent bases for elevating the artistry of your baked goods. Picture some delicate lemon bars or light and fluffy cream puffs set atop a gorgeous pressed glass cake stand. Add visual height to a dessert buffet by stacking pedestals of graduated sizes on top of one another to display your sweets.
Take Your Inspiration From Tapas
You’ve likely heard about or tasted tapas, small plates of food served as appetizers or light snacks. You can use this small plates concept to inspire your own dessert bar ideas. Serving a selection of single-bite desserts enables your guests to indulge in a little of everything. Trays of cake truffles, mini cupcakes, or bite-size eclairs make ideal sweet tapas-style desserts for your celebration.
Add Glamour With Glassware
Champagne flutes and martini glasses can be used for more than serving drinks. Turn elegant glassware into creative containers to hold individual servings of chocolate mousse or trifles. Arrange them on cake stands or pedestals (see suggestion above) for a dramatic dessert statement.
Do It Big With Donuts
There’s just something about donuts that makes any adult or child smile with delight. If you’re seeking a way to infuse fun into your dessert table, try renting a donut display. Donut boards offer a sophisticated way to serve donuts, but you can also turn to items such as tiered plant stands to showcase them. Arrange different flavors of donuts on trays or platters set on each level of the plant stand for a dessert setup that makes a statement.
Create a Cookie Tree
Cookie trees make an attractive centerpiece for a dessert table, and they’re fun and easy to create. During the holiday season, you can place a tabletop evergreen tree on a display and hang decorated cutout cookies from the branches using ribbon or waxed linen thread. For a spring holiday celebration, insert sturdy branches from flowering fruit trees into a large container filled with water, then hang your cookies from the branches.
