Table Numbers

Pre-COVID we saw this amazing idea of using cakes as table numbers! Each table had its own bundt cake that fit in perfectly with their weddings aesthetic! This also allowed for each table to cut their own piece as big as they wanted, and no need for dessert math or additional cutting fees!

Signage

If you have great handwriting, this is the time to let it shine! Whether it’s a cute saying like “Love is sweet, take a treat” or just generic flavor signs, they make a great addition to any table!

It’s all about height!

No matter if you have dessert for 100 people or 250+, the more height differences there are on your table, the fuller it will look! It not only makes for beautiful photos but it also helps to avoid cross contamination of people accidentally touching other desserts near the one they are grabbing if the table is too full all on one level.
