The Dessert Table
- Set up a small table covered with a cloth and put the dessert or the dessert buffet on this table. You want guests to be able to see and anticipate your desserts!
- Leave the desserts, if full size, whole until everyone has finished dinner, then slice and serve everyone a piece, with our without ice cream or whipped cream. Rather than asking if they want dessert you may want to just serve everyone a piece-- most people will eat the dessert if it's sliced and served to them.
- The mini desserts are fun and people tend to eat more of these since no one has to slice them.
- You can use nice plates or platters, cake stands, or even tier stands for your desserts, or try a combination to make your dessert table interesting. But if you have a showstopper dessert, especialy if it's large, it's better to make that the showpiece on its platter on the dessert table. In any case, don't crowd the dessert table.
- You may want to have separate napkins and utensils on or near the dessert table just for the dessert, or you may want to have a central napkin/cutlery location for all the food at your event, including the dessert.
Bon Appetit!
