5 Ways to Create a Fabulous Dessert Bar

  • Choose a Dessert Theme to Fit the Occasion

    Think outside the box! It's always rewarding to be creative. Whether you create a seaside-inspired sweets table or freshly baked cookie buffet, your guests will love the extra effort.

  • Color Coordinate

    Coordinate your display pieces with the color palette of your party. When in doubt, go with all white. White is fresh and clean, and will not distract from your yummy desserts.

  • Rent Your Display Pieces

    Save your money, and rent! Local party rental companies offer a variety of display options at a fraction of what it would cost for you to buy them. Set up your table a few days before the party so you can make adjustments and get a sense for how much space you have.

  • Buy or Bake Ahead of Time

    You don't want to be in the kitchen on the day of your party, stressing over last-minute baking and frosting. Have your sweets ready to go the day before!

  • Accents

    Accenting the table with fresh flowers and matching flavor cards can add a pop of color and complete the over all look.
