Today we’re talking about creating awesome dessert
tables.
We think a dessert table is the center of the party.
It’s where all the yummy treats are and often the best place to
take photos because it’s themed and decorated.
Also, if you want to do a more simple party but still have it
be themed, you could just do an awesome dessert table and focus
more on the details and that’s all you need.
We’re talking about dessert tables for birthday parties,
holiday parties, adult parties, kids parties… all of
it.
Lots of ideas of how to set it up ahead of time so it looks
just the way you want and makes the party feel extra special.
And makes for the perfect photo backdrop too.
Planning dessert tables is so much fun and really sets the
tone for your party and makes it memorable. Today we’re
talking about creating awesome dessert tables- for any occasion and
on any budget.
Lindsay talks about…
-Start with your backdrop!! This is the best part!
Make sure it’s not wrinkled or see through
Make sure it’s not wrinkled or see through
-Figure out your table - can get creative with it - doesn’t
have to be a table with linens.
Can be pillars or smaller tables - if it’s a kids birthday
party - make sure it’s not too high or have a plan for the bday boy
or girl to get behind it to blow out the candles.
-Use carts- especially for holidays!!
-Set this up! Ahead of time - even if your event isn’t
at your house
-Add in cake stands or cupcake stands - pull from what you
have then buy and order what you need
-Get creative with this! You can use crates or paint
things, use things you have etc. It doesn’t have to be for
cakes or cupcakes.
-Tiered items work well for some height.
-Add candy containers for height (make sure you have clear
scoopers)
-Position it so people see it when they walk in - so it’s good
for the FEEL of the party and also for the photos.
-Take photos before people start eating it!!
-Order bulk of inexpensive stuff and add cake
toppers
-Order custom from ETSY ahead of time or do your own with
little chalkboard signs or otherwise.
-Local finds from party stores or Target
-Make sure it’s not in direct sun for melting
-Make sure you have candles and a lighter and plates and forks
and a knife to cut.
-Make sure you talk to the baker about details!! And so
you have the right size cake stand ready.
-Adult parties - add in cocktails to it!!
-DAY OF PARTY- set-up food last. Candy can go sooner-
that will help with timing!
-What to make sure you talk to your baker about, how to
position your table, backdrop ideas and what to set-up ahead of
time
Dessert tables can be such a special and memorable part of
your party. We hope this podcast inspired you to design your
own awesome dessert table for your next party!! CHEERS to
celebrating all the things!
