decorating the dessert table
in Maine
I have been thinking about our dessert table and would love to get your opinions. We aren't having a wedding cake; instead, we are setting up a table with 2 different kinds of cake, a blueberry cobbler, chocolate fondue, and mlik shooters with cookies. I have been playing with the idea of making or getting some cake toppers to put on the two cakes, or maybe to just have on the table. If I put anything in the cakes, it would probably just be a little banner with our names. Cute? Weird? Other ideas?

Another cute decorative thing I've seen is the paper pinwheels that people make and you can get a long rectangle glass vase (from michael's or joann's) and fill that with candy, rocks or some kind of filler and have like four pinwheels sticking out. It's fun and whimsy.
If you're looking for something more elegant you can make up a sign and frame it and have it say something like "A Sweet Ending to a New Beginning". I've always loved that saying! And I love the sound of your dessert bar. YUMMO!
[QUOTE]I just saw this ( link ) and might do something with this saying, which I think is a similar style to what chrispy was describing. This ( link ) without the people is my initial inspiration. I might do one "love is sweet" or a saying like that, and one with our names. <strong>As for the chocolate fondue, our venue is just setting out a giant, heated vat of chocolate, no messing around with a chocolate fountain</strong>.

<div>Amaaaazing. I <3 vats of melted chocolate. hahhaha. </div><div>
</div><div>I really like both of the links you posted, but I like the simplicity of the cake topper set with your names! How sweet is that!? FI & I aren't doing a cake topper, but I love this one! </div><div>
</div><div>Speaking of cakes, let me ask your advice - so I didn't want to blow up the cake budget and to keep costs down we're doing a two-tiered display cake with a bunch of sheet cake in the back. I'm in love with the cake design and I know it's going to be really, really pretty, but do you think it'll look silly when it's a cake that probably gets 50-80 servings and there'll be probably 170 people there? We could still change it. I just feel like the $350 we're saving is a good place to cut some costs. </div>
