Doughnut Wall

Still standing as a firm favorite is the doughnut wall. Not only is this a fun way to treat your guests, but it’s also a great dance floor snack too.

Macaron Tower

Having a dessert table? Great!

Macarons are creeping up on the popularity chart and becoming a firm favorite to have on display alongside wedding cakes. As the perfect delicate display piece, it certainly is eye-catching.

Maison Des Macarons create some swoon-worthy towers which can also double up as great wedding favors too.

Croquembouche

Like the macaron tower, the croquembouche can proudly take center stage on any dessert table. It is also the perfect alternative to a traditional wedding cake, with a delightful tower of choux pastry bound by spun sugar or even decorated with lavish chocolates and edible flowers.

Helen Ward of Sweet Feast Grazing creates show-stopping moments, which give any wedding or event the wow factor. By using an amazing range of sweet bakes and candy shop treats combined with high-end styling, this really is an amazing sweet alternative. However, be sure to keep the kids away from this table…they’ll be bouncing off the ceiling and running circles around the dancefloor!

Dessert Canape Towers

Dorothy Rugira, Event Manager at Canary Wharf’s East Wintergarden predicts that “2019 will see the growth of dessert canape towers and catering suppliers will continue to push creative boundaries by conjuring up stunning visual displays.”

There are two ways in which you can embrace this display idea. Either by having a huge dessert canape tower on display for the wow factor, as imaged here by Salt & Caramel. Or by having two-three smaller tea stands of dessert canapes delivered to each table for dessert – an almost nod to afternoon tea styling, this is a great way to speed up service if you’re tight on time.

However, you choose to wow your guests with your edible display, just be sure not to miss out in digging in yourself!
