AMY ATLAS EVENTS

There are so many details that go into planning a fabulous party. Floral décor. Caterer. Great entertainment. Linens. There are experts in each of the fields. So it only makes sense that there would be a specialist for everyone’s favorite dinner course: dessert! For years, caterers delivered the Viennese table to their clients. More recently, there has been a trend for candy buffets. However, until now, no one has focused on incorporating the design of the event into dessert. I recently learned of Amy Atlas’s dessert tables and am excited to share her with you. Amy’s eye-catching dessert tables are custom and are created to complement the design of the entire event. Amy works with her hand-selected bakers and candy purveyors and co-designs gorgeous desserts. She then pairs the tasty treats with unique vessels, stunning linens, and magnificent backdrops to create a visually stunning dessert display. What a sweet way to end a wonderful night!


      

Amy Atlas’s Dessert Table Tips:

It is such a treat to surprise your guests just as they are getting ready to leave with a beautifully, designed dessert table. It is the perfect ending to a sweet day! Here are some of my tips for a stunning (and delicious) dessert table!

• Take something that inspires you and create your dessert table around it. The design can be inspired from something as personal as a family heirloom to as simple as the pattern on the host’s invitation. Let the dessert table tell a story about the event so that the dessert not only becomes functional, but becomes part of the event design.
• Create a beautiful backdrop for your dessert table. Décor elements complete the look of a dessert table and a fabulous backdrop is the perfect way to incorporate artistry to the table.
• Pick beautiful linens and unique vessels to dress up your dessert table. Since your sweets will be the star of your dessert table, the linens and vessels should have a coordinated, tailored look.
• Always sample your dessert vendors before using them for your event. A beautiful cake is not always the best tasting cake! The key is to find the right balance. Pick desserts that not only look good together, but provide a balance for your guests’ palate.
• Incorporate some type of tag element to dress up the dessert table. This will show your guests how personal your dessert table is. You can do this yourself, or have a graphic designer create personalized tags for you.
• Provide goody bags for your guests as take-home desserts. It is always a treat to give your guests something to take home to remind them of how sweet the day was.
