Guest Desserts: Target Valentine's Visions

Remember the Totally Target Halloween dessert table I created a few months ago? Well, reader Tara of Shindig Diva was so inspired by it that she decided to design a Target Valentine's Day which she submitted and shared with me.

Tara found glittery LOVE and LAUGH letters that she used as a starting point for her design. You'll notice that she used inexpensive wrapping paper to cover her risers, which display pink heart-shaped whoopie pies and chocolate-covered brownie hearts. Cupcakes, cookies, marshmallows, and conversation hearts round out the dessert selections.

Tara used mini mailboxes as personalized favor containers.

Not only did all of Tara's elements come from Target, she found most of them in the retailer's $1 section, The Dollar Spot. If you're ever shopping for inexpensive seasonal items, be sure to check out this little section at the front of the store. It's always full of great little favor bags and props that are perfect for a dessert table.

Tara admits she's a little obsessed with Target's fabulosity, so she plans to do a series of dessert tables using only the store's products. Thank you for sharing your design, Tara. I'm sure your upcoming Target designs will just as colorful and fun.
