Simple Easter Sunday Dessert Station

Happy Spring! Easter is only a few days away and we can’t wait to enjoy all the sweets and treats!

We are excited to share our Easter dessert table, to inspire the hostess who is gearing up and getting ready for that special Sunday party.

Need some help putting it all together?

We have designed a classic and elegant dessert table spread that any hostess can pull off. We even got a delicious cupcake recipe for you to “steal”!

 

  

• Think about what desserts you want on your table. Consider flavors that compliment one another.
• With flavors decided- consider what colors you would like to incorporate on your table. For our Easter party- we went with a balance between pastels and vibrant colors.
• One of the best ways to fill your dessert table with decor is to add flowers. Flowers can brighten up any table while still remaining delicate. For our tablescape we used lots of carnations, ranunculous and queen anne's lace.  
• Sometimes less is more; don’t be afraid to stick with simple and minimal decor pieces.  
• ALWAYS include signage. Clearly mark your desserts so guests can know what delicious treats they can choose from.
