1. Theme it Up!

Pro Tip: Baked Cravings offers a fantastic range of colors and styles. Think about how their offerings can complement your chosen aesthetic.
2. The Golden Trio: Height, Depth, and Texture
A flat dessert table can look… well, flat. The secret to a visually appealing spread is varying heights, creating depth, and incorporating different textures.
-
Height: Use cake stands, pedestals, overturned bowls (covered with tablecloths!), or even decorative boxes to elevate certain desserts. Your magnificent Baked Cravings cake should definitely be the star, perched high and proud!

Depth: Don't line everything up against the wall. Pull some items forward, push others back, and arrange platters in interesting clusters.
-
Texture: Mix soft cupcakes with cookies. The variety will entice the eye and the palate.

Variety is Key: Offer a mix of chocolate and vanilla-based treats. Don't forget their incredible brownies!
