Whenever there is a reason to celebrate, there is a reason for cake. Weddings, birthdays, graduations, babies, engagements and even when purchasing a new home. And when there's a need for a great dessert display....why stick to tradition?
There are so many fun ways to make the cake table a part of the party decor, from adding to the color scheme...to creating a centerpiece for a room. Ruffled blog featured a few ideas of bringing in LOTS of color and LOTS of creativity when it comes to cake tables.
A combination of cake, brownies, cupcakes and other sweet treats get mouths watering right away! Check out the Ruffled blog to see more ideas for a memorable display.
Birthday parties are a great way to get more out of your cake table. It can become a focal point for the theme and give that little extra pizazz for the party. This idea would be great for a teenager or even a 20 something gal....vibrant colors and geometric touches really do the trick.
A good, Southern feel is something that soothes the soul. This would be a great setup for a more intimate wedding reception or even a family reunion. There is a touch of elegance to these homemade cakes, but they still tempt you to swipe your finger in the icing for a quick taste. Different textures and toppings create a luscious presentation.
For a more casual celebration, we are seeing more and more people use several cakes with coordinating decoration to fill the cake table. We are able to focus on a color scheme to design cakes that have a slight variation for visual interest.
This is one of my favorite setup...as seen on the Polka Dot Made blog. A mix of different desserts and candies create a unique dessert table that is never boring. The variety of cake stands, cake layers and goodies drew me right in. This would be great for a vintage feel for that special birthday or Sunday brunch.
