Dessert tables continue to rage on as the perfect accompaniment to today’s stylish weddings, parties and events. How do you develop a theme for your dessert table? Do you start with an amazing cake stand, or a thrift store find, or that cake design and/or decoration you’ve been dying to make?
Here are beautiful ideas for sweetly themed dessert tables.

Fanciful pink, gold and mint dessert table:
From the glittery gold table confetti to the matching cakes and cute bow theme, this fanciful and fun dessert table sparkles and shines! I like how each dessert has an element from another dessert, bringing the whole table together with whimsy and a sense of feminine playfulness.

Chevron and mustache dessert table:
Rosie at Sweetapolita created this adorable chevron pattern and mustache-themed dessert table spread for her nephew’s baby shower. The bright lemon-yellow and electric blue color theme is beautiful. And, check out the simple and modern chevron cake featured as the centerpiece, created using Jessica Harris’s techniques taught in Clean & Simple Cake Design.

White and bright cake table:
Sometimes a great unifying force for a fun and modern dessert table is matching cakes and cake stands. A simple palette of bright primary colors provides a minimal but fun feel!

Donut tower dessert table:
Not a fan of cakes? Donut despair– host a killer donut party! Use donut holes as your centerpiece, croquembouche style. Just fill some matching vintage platters and bowls with your favourite donuts, throw up a little decor and you’re all set.

Fiesta themed dessert table:
So many fun, clever ideas featured in this outdoor colorful fiesta! I love the use of fringed and dingle-ball trimmed cake stands, the many colors and patterns, and of course the amazing ruffle pinata cake.

Vintage pretty in pink dessert table:
Sweetly romantic, this feminine vintage-feel dessert table uses a shabby-chic white side table and peeled-away silver cans as vases. Flowers look rustic and freshly picked from a garden, and the desserts are piled on a mishmash of cake stands all at varying heights.

Ice cream social themed first birthday:
Everything about this sweetly designed first birthday party shines: silvery details and a cool as ice color palette. There was even a white sprinkles covered mini-smash cake that looked like a snowball. Visit Mara Dawn here to see the whole spread and get inspired!
Love is sweet dessert table:
Love is sweet and so is this adorable and perfectly charming dessert table by Stevie for Shop Sweet Lulu, with little cotton candies, a pedestal of glazed donuts and sparkly decor in pink and gold.
Now, what a dessert table needs is a standout confection. Perhaps it’s a gorgeously arranged pile of donuts with its own garland, or a stunning tiered cake made with the help of the incredible cake designers of Craftsy!’
