December 27, 2016

The cocktail hour helps kick off your celebration…but the dessert hour, is the icing of the cake helping bring your sweet soiree to a delicious end.

Here is some sweet inspiration for your 2017 celebration:

Vintage Elegance: Lots of specialty bakeries will be specializing in truly traditional and elegant vintage cakes, cupcakes and dessert lots of euro chic sweets.

Personal Touches: One of a kind custom cakes are a great way to butter up your guests. Think vegan cakes or chocolate cakes infused with beer in a design that YOU help create and that’s truly a reflection of your style and the two of you.

Dynamic Details: From fancy florals to feminine pearls and lace delish is in the (intricate) details…with cakes becoming a tasteful and tasty work of art.

Dessert Tables and Stations: Displays of ethnic desserts intrinsic to each of your cultures and backgrounds along with some of your personal international favorites are gaining in popularity. Another option is letting guests get their hands “dirty” not only with diverse dessert stations but with an option to create a unique confection of their own. So, consider allowing guests to fill their own mini pies with a choice of fillings and having it baked and brought to the table right out of the oven…or how about inviting guests to add sparkles and sprinkles and decorate their own cookies?

Couture Coffee and Tea Bars: Don’t just offer guests cappuccinos and espresso’s but allow them to create their own caffeine drinks. From flavored coffees and chias to those infused with Bailey’s Irish Cream or traditional hot toddies… or a unique, one-of-a-kind flavors they help create, it’s the perfect “night cap” to your perfect party.
