EntertainingHosting the Perfect Holiday Dessert Table

A beautiful dessert table can be the centerpiece of any holiday gathering. Here’s how to create one that’s as stunning as it is delicious.

Start with Height

Use cake stands, wooden crates, and stacked books to create visual interest at different levels. Your eyes should travel up and down the display.

The Rule of Threes

Group items in odd numbers—three types of cookies, five different treats. It’s more visually appealing than even numbers.

Mix Textures and Colors

Combine crispy Palmiers with soft tea cakes, dark chocolate shortbread with golden candied pecans. The contrast makes everything look more appetizing.

Don’t Forget the Details

Fresh rosemary sprigs, scattered sugared cranberries, and elegant serving pieces elevate the entire presentation.
