Few things steal the show like a beautifully designed dessert table. Whether you're hosting a whimsical baby shower, a storybook birthday party, or a romantic wedding, your dessert setup should feel magical and look flawless in every photo.

Our Candy Carts, Cinderella Carriage, and Fairytale Carriage are designed to help you build enchanting, photo-ready dessert displays that leave guests in awe. Here’s how to create your showstopping setup:

 

1. Start with the Right Statement Piece

 

The foundation of your dessert table matters just as much as the sweets themselves. Choose a base that matches your theme and offers flexibility in styling:

• 🎠 Candy Cart – Clean, elegant, and versatile. Perfect for any event, from modern weddings to pastel baby showers.

• 👑 Cinderella Carriage – A dream come true for princess-themed parties and fairytale weddings. Adds instant romance and fantasy.

• ✨ Fairytale Carriage – Slightly more ornate, this piece is ideal for luxe baby showers, enchanted garden themes, or first birthdays.

These pieces don’t just hold desserts, they create a scene.

 

2. Choose a Cohesive Colour Palette

 

Before placing a single cupcake, lock in your event’s color scheme. Think about:

• Pastels for baby showers and birthdays

• Soft whites and golds for weddings

• Bold pinks and purples for princess parties

Match your desserts, table accessories, and backdrop elements to this palette for a polished, unified look.

💡 Tip: Our white PVC structures provide the perfect neutral base to let your color choices pop.

 

3. Layer Heights and Textures

 

A picture-perfect dessert table isn’t flat, it’s dynamic! Use varying heights to draw the eye and add dimension:

• Tiered cake stands and risers for cakes and cupcakes

• Mini pedestals for cookies, macarons, or cake pops

• Glass jars or trays for candies and small treats

When styling a Candy Cart, use the tabletop surface creatively, and take advantage of the canopy or top bar for hanging signs, florals, or balloons.

For the Carriage setups, consider placing the main cake inside the carriage and surrounding it with smaller treats or decorative florals.

4. Balance Sweet & Decorative Elements

 

Too much clutter can overwhelm the setup. Keep a clean balance between sweets and styling:

• Add fairy lights, florals, or a name sign for elegance

• Use framed signage or dessert labels for a polished look

• Include themed props like tiaras, mini carriages, or castle figurines for a storybook effect

✨ Don’t forget a statement backdrop! A balloon garland or floral wall behind the cart or carriage completes the scene.

5. Make It Instagrammable

 

Your dessert table is more than just a treat station.  It’s a photo op!

• Ensure good lighting (natural light is ideal)

• Add a personalized sign or laser-cut name for a luxe touch

• Encourage guests to take photos by adding a “Sweet Moments” sign or hashtag card

Our Cinderella and Fairytale Carriages are especially beloved for their fairytale charm. Guests won’t be able to resist snapping a pic!
