How to Create a Dessert Table for Your Wedding

Dessert tables are becoming more and more popular at weddings of every budget.   Creating a dessert buffet table for your wedding reception requires more than simply placing confections on a table.   To have maximum style and appeal, your dessert table should be well thought out.   Here are some ideas to inspire you to create a bountiful display:

1. Choose beautiful table linens and interesting containers for an impressive display.   I absolutely love apothecary jars on dessert tables.   Select jars, cake stands, and other containers of varying heights for visual interest.
   
   
2. Provide small “goodie” bags so that wedding guests can take treats home.
   
   
3. Ensure that the appropriate serving utensils are in place for easy access to treats:   tongs, scoops, spatula, etc.
   
   
4. Coordinate the dessert table with the style and color theme of other wedding décor.
   
   
5. Arrange plates, forks, spoons, and napkins at one end of the table and place the desserts on the table in the order of your choice.
   
   
6. Scatter flower petals around serving dishes for an elegant touch.   The petals can also act as a filler for sparse areas on the table.

7. Add a personal touch with personalized labels or tags on goodie bags.   Chocolate bars with personalized wrappers in your wedding colors will also make an impressive presentation.
   
   
8. By having a dessert table, you won’t need as large a wedding cake.   Also, many people don't like wedding cake and will appreciate an assortment of dessert items to choose from.   Ask your cake baker about providing desserts in addition to the wedding cake.   You may be able to obtain a discount for ordering multiple items.   If your budget is limited, ask culinary-skilled friends and family to present a favorite dessert.
   
   
9. Dessert tables keep guests entertained as they generally mingle while selecting goodies from the table.
   
   
10. Depending on your budget and wedding theme, here are some treats to consider:   petit fours, mini cheesecakes, fruit tarts, macaroons, pralines, mini pastries, cookies, cupcakes, candies, fresh fruit, truffles, jelly beans, taffy, caramel popcorn.

11. One of my favorite additions to a dessert table is a chocolate fountain.   Arrange dipping items (marshmallows, fruit, pretzels, cookies, graham crackers, etc.) and skewers on the table near the fountain.
    
    
12. You may also choose to offer treats that are appropriate for the season in which you marry. Example: candy corn, taffy apples for a fall wedding.
    
    
13. If your wedding will be culturally themed, offer a variety of desserts which represent your heritage.   You could also choose desserts based around a geographical theme:   Paris, Hawaii, etc.
    
    
14. Remember that there is no hard and fast rule regarding the type of sweets that will grace your dessert table.   Your table should represent you so be as creative and whimsical as you like.

Hablando de Besos.

Resulta ser que últimamente no quiero un beso de la clase discutida hace poco. No tienen nada de malo los besos románticos, ojo. Acabo de reconocer que un beso de los cursis ha sido el mejor beso de mi vida. Pero a veces buscamos otra cosa. A veces no queremos un beso de niños menores de 20 que nos idolatran y que nos ven con cara de idiotas enamorados. A veces no queremos hombres de 25 que se tripean nuestra compañía solamente pero no terminan de hacer algo al respecto. A veces las llamadas de uno de 34 no son suficientes. A veces lo único que queremos es que nos peguen contra la pared. Que nos sabroseen bailando y que nos vean con cara de " o le meto o me muero."

Esta vez no me interesa la rosa, ni la nieve, ni Nueva York, ni las velas, ni las cursilerías. Quiero que alguien allá afuera se ponga un par de cojones y no se sienta intimidado por mí o por lo que digo. No quiero promesas de llamadas, ni mensajes posteriores. No quiero ni siquiera que me pidas el teléfono. Quiero silencios más incómodos que cama de acompañante en clínica. Coño. Pégame contra la pared. Hálame el pelo sin querer. Como el hombrecito que eres, dame el beso tú. Cuando no me lo espere y cuando al principio te diga que no, sigue intentando. O mejor todavía, clávame un beso y ya. Ve Mr. and Mrs. Smith o algo así. No me voy a romper si me halas fuerte. No me voy a poner a llorar si me halas el pelo a propósito tampoco. Quiero que nos consigamos después, intercambiar una mirada de complicidad por sabernos ese secreto, saludarnos y seguir nuestros respectivos caminos. ¿Es demasiado pedir?
