Add some decorations…
It is always fun to have some coordinating
props on the table and you can make it as
simple or as elaborate as you would like.
Christmas is easy as there are a myriad of
Christmas crafts to make or fun
decorations to buy.
Set up early…
Setting up a dessert table can be
deceptively time consuming so it is
always advisable to set up a ‘mock’ table
with your stands and props at least a day
or two before your event. This gives you
time to play with heights, positioning and
combinations of tableware until you are
satisfied with your choices.
If it is possible to do your mock up in the
position of the final table then when you
are finished you can leave it there until
Christmas Day and your work is greatly
reduced.
