Dessert Table: Out of This World!

The Sweetest Occasion featured this baby shower's outer space dessert table yesterday. Emily of Paper Tiger Press designed this table to celebrate a friend's soon-to-arrive new baby. The father-to-be daydreamed about being an astronaut when he was a kid, and loved the idea for his son.

A gold star bedazzled a light teal backdrop set the stage for lots of glittery treats. I like that Emily opted for this more sophisticated shade of teal than traditional powdery, baby blue.

Clear risers virtually disappear on the display. From afar, it almost looks like the desserts flanking the diaper cake are floating in, well, space.

The red and white spaceship on the backdrop is a cute touch, and it lends an unexpected pop of complimentary color.

Be sure to check out The Sweetest Occasion for more yummy pics, and come back later today for a second post with other kid-centric dessert tables.
