Dessert Table: Hipster Happiness

In case you missed my post late yesterday, be sure to check out the video of my Valentine's dessert table segment on the KARE 11 Today Show. Ok, now on to today's yummy post.

This mod dessert table from Ruffled is full of simple treats and fabulous styling details. Photog Alison Conklin captured the images at this shoot styled by Beka and Kimberly of Styled Creative. An M&M cake makes a bold, youthful statement, while red velvet whooopie pies, heart shaped sugar cookies, and sprinkle-topped cupcakes in shades of red add vibrancy to an otherwise neutral palette.

You'll also see that the pooch at a party trend is alive and well (and wearing red shoes). Although we saw a horse at this dessert table shoot earlier this week, I don't think we'll see them quite as often as the pups.

Isn't the mini oven a cute prop for the cupcake picture? It's a nice change of pace from the traditional cupcake-in-hands shot that we see over and over again.

What do you think of the M&M cake? Cute or kooky?
