Choose the items that go on your dessert table carefully. Size, shape and color all matter. You could accentuate a particular shape, such as a circle and repeat it throughout the table, while keeping your colors consistent for a modern but whimsical look. Orderly, straight lines or circles translate to a modern look, while more eclectic choices generally result in an organic or traditional look. No matter which look you are going for, keep to your two or three chosen colors on your dessert table.

Arrange your dessert table with attention to the details. Moving up to a height, then stepping down in height gradually to the lowest plate or platter makes for a pleasing presentation. Be mindful to use items in each of your colors in groups of three or five around the table. Using Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers on your dessert table is an easy way to integrate pattern and color.

Create heights and levels on your dessert table. Of course pedestal cake stands and glorious cupcake displays are perfect for this, but you can easily and inexpensively create your own with paint cans and platters.

Just use cans, or any other sturdy item to give some height and drape it with fabric that coordinates on the table. Set your platter on top and you have created height on the table.

Making your own cupcake tower is simple, as well. Using creative vessels for the food will add interest to the table. Cedar planks, retro finds, small suitcase shaped boxes, or any other item that can double as a prop, platter or bowl works beautifully.
