Elements of a dessert table

Written by Gelato Products

Wowing your guests is always on the minds of any good host. Adding a dessert table is a good way to make your breakfast, lunch or dinner party a memorable one. Here are some tips on how to make a designer worthy dessert table.

Select a theme – Look at color schemes for your event and create a simple backdrop for your dessert table. A fabric backdrop is a popular choice. Instead of buying fabric you could use old drapes, a shower curtain or an old tablecloth. You could also set up your table in front of a brick wall or in the garden where your trees and flowers will make a natural backdrop.

Create symmetry – To create symmetry, start by deciding on a centerpiece. This could be a simple layer cake on a stand. You should then visit an ice cream shop supplies store and buy spoons and bowls that match your theme. Place these items on one side of the table.

White – White is a good choice for serving platters, plates and cake stand, as they are neutral and can be used again for other events.

Paper elements – To make sure your guests know what they are serving, create dessert labels and signs with paper in your theme and colors. You could even print personalized frozen yogurt cups and spoons with funny sayings that your guests can take home as keepsakes.
