Holiday Eye Candy!

I love candy and I love eye-candy. So when I began to see candy buffets and stylized dessert tables trending, well, you can imagine my excitement. I felt like a kid at in a candy shop...at Christmas...which is today's theme...

To create a beautiful and interesting dessert table, you need to display items at different heights. Prop plates up on pedestals or gift wrapped boxes. Experiment with different serving containers. A festive backdrop ensures that your table is a focal point, whether it be garlands, a mirror or  piece of foam-core painted or wrapped in paper or fabric. Fill in spaces with loose ornaments, pinecones or sparkly confetti. Small tags or signs to indicate what each treat is, is cute and helpful. Co-ordinating colours or themes pulls it together. Here are some gorgeous examples...

  1. So pretty! And functional too, since I would be so afraid to wreck the display that I wouldn't actually eat anything. LOVE IT!
