Week In Review & Simple Set-up

You might remember this dessert display that used a simple chair and side table to feature a cake, well, I recently came across another chair/table design. This one by Lemon Sprinkle Events is even simpler and more attainable.

This week on Sweet tooth:

We kicked off this short week with this reader's Guest Desserts submission.
National Ice Cream Month is the perfect excuse to create this dessert table.
Cakes and cake balls become one in this pastel spectrum confection.
You guys flipped for this cake/cake ball hybrid here and on Twitter.

Dessert Table: White Out!

Linda of Call Me Cupcake shared these gorgeous, winter white photos with my friend Maddy of The Inspired Bride, and I just had to share them you. Linda played with various shades of white and lots of different textures to add dimension to this monochromatic display.

This inspirational shoot will doubtlessly encourage party hosts, brides, and event planners to go beyond using just tables and dressers for their dessert displays. Linda chose a chair, a side table, and shelves to showcase each white wonder.

This shoot just screams sophistication. The fur rug, lace appliqued cake, and luminous setting all work together to create a fresh take on a Winter Wonderland theme. Have you ever seen all-white done so right?

Be sure to swing by tomorrow. I've got some really fun things in store. See you then!

Dessert Table: Let Them Eat Cake!

I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I feel like I've barely had time to get into the holiday swing of things, even though we've hung the wreath on the front door, shopped some Black Friday deals, and saw the two huge Christmas trees at Mall of America this weekend while doing some 8 am shopping. Hopefully, this Parisian dessert table can make me a little more jolly.

This gorgeous Marie Claire Idées dessert table is fun and sophisticated at the same time. I love the gold flatware and pink-hued ornaments. This palette always evokes such a cozy, intimate atmosphere to me. Two different tiered cakes along with a macaron tower fill out the deceptively simple display. It's the details that put this design over the top. Custom chair covers, ornaments, and table linens add to the luxurious setting.

I'm still trying to convince my husband that golden flatware would be phenomenal for our dining set. It adds such a warm feeling to the table's vibe.
