A new dessert bar?

The High Tea has been and gone, and while I’m also on a bit of a break from my cupcake business, I’m a bit stuck for things to do. So, I’ve decided to stage another dessert bar!

What is a dessert bar?

A dessert bar is an arrangement of desserts (and sometimes savouries) on a table in a creative way. It’s usually accompanied with a theme or colour scheme that is repeated throughout the bar, in the food, tableware and backdrop decorations. All the desserts are arranged so the bar is in symmetry, and usually has a central focal point like a cake on a stand, or a cupcake tower (or flowers).

I featured one of these masterpieces on a scale to feed 80+ people at the high tea (scroll down on the main page for the photos). I’d like to do one a bit smaller, and to take some more unique care in each dessert, with proper personalised labels and arrangements.

How can I be involved? I loved your High Tea work!

I’ll be doing a helpy-helper call out to people in Adelaide in mid-September for your help to set up and consume the dessert bar! I’m planning on doing this in early October to coincide with my mid semester holidays.

I am still looking for a theme, so this is where you come in, loyal readers! I have three boards below with some colour scheme and presentation ideas, and I’d love you to pick one. I’m going to start planning this on the 1st of September (this year is flying by!) so you have four days to vote for your favourite on the right hand side of the website in the poll box!

I can’t wait to see what you choose, thanks for voting :)
