Setting Up A Dessert Bar
Love is affection and sometimes a confection. If you can’t decide what dessert you want to serve at your wedding or looking to display all your favorite sweets beautifully on your special day? A dessert bar or buffet is the perfect way to let your guests use all five of their senses to take in the sweetness of your big day. Smarty has everything you need to set up a delicious dessert bar your guests will eat up (minus the desserts...we ate all those already)!
Using our kraft paper take-home boxes, guests can fill their own dessert box with scrumptious mementos of the happy occasion to take with them at the end of the night. We've even included our "All You Need Is Love & Dessert" printables to put on each box. Setting up a Wedding Dessert Bar is easy! Start with cake stands. We stacked 3 white cake stands (9.25 inch, 11.5 inches, and 13.25 inch) for an elegant tiered look, and placed scrumptious fruit tarts and mini pocket pies on them. For our larger desserts (vanilla and chocolate napoleons), we used rectangle dessert plates as trays. Stack kraft paper boxes at the end of the dessert bar next to cocktail napkins. The boxes have a wax lining so they're great for desserts with or without napkins, but the napkins allow you to incorporate your wedding colors and add a little pizzazz.

I’m hoping these tips will help you create a fabulous dessert table. And remember, you don’t just have to serve sweets like this; appetizers and brunch parties also look fantastic when displayed this way!
