Black & White & Glamorous Sweets Table

black & white Glam dessert table
I designed this mini dessert table to coordinate with my Holiday-Glam Tablescape.  It’s great for an intimate dinner party, and serves up small bites so guests can sample a little bit of everything.  
For the dessert area I used the acrylic beaded curtain as a backdrop – a great way to tie two areas together is to use the same elements but in a different way.  The food and decor are all done in black and white and silver, and most items were found locally.

On the menu are chocolate whoopie pies, brownie bites topped with whipped icing and silver edible glitter from Sweet Baking Supply, and shimmering bonbons from Bedazzle My Bonbons.  I like the idea of choosing one or two designer desserts to shine, and then dressing up purchased items or homemade items to round out the table.

To wash down the sweets, milk shots are served with cookie “straws.”  You could also serve eggnog in these as well.  For this table I did serve spiked eggnog and irish cream shots in chocolate cups – a fun festive addition!  So that guests would know the difference between the two, I sprinked nutmeg on the eggnog shots.

In sharing this with you, I hope to show that you can have a beautiful, stylish dessert table without spending a fortune.  It just takes a little thoughtful detail and creative display!

    Adorei as diferentes decorações que encontrei aqui, indéias brilhantes. Se não for pedir muito, gostaria de receber mais opções para decoração em vermelho, ou mesmo para o dia dos namorados. Obrigada.

    Hi Chris!

    FABULOUS party! I hope you don't mind me sharing it tomorrow on my site. :]

    Thanks for all the love on this table you guys!

    East9thSTreet – I have used a few different methods for hanging backdrops. You can get colored duct tape from the craft store (Michael's) and just tape it to your wall or crown molding. If you are neat, it can look kind of like a border, and the tape doesn't harm the wall (just peel off gently).

    I've also used a dowel to hang the fabric from, and then hang the dowel on 3M wall hooks.

    Hope that helps! : )
