Putting together a festive dessert table for a kid’s birthday party (or other special event) involves some creativity and planning. Explore our tips for making dessert a festive affair that your youngest guests will love.
Set a Theme
When you’re thinking about birthday dessert table ideas, use the theme of your event as a starting place. You can find birthday party theme ideas in abundance online and on your favorite social media platforms.
Once you’ve settled on a party theme, you can think about ways to incorporate the theme into your decorations and party treats.
For example, if you’re creating a fishing-themed birthday party, you could stretch a fishing net over a cloth covering the birthday dessert table and hang bobbers or artificial fishing lures on the edges of the net. Your birthday desserts could include a cake decorated with candy fish and trays of cupcakes adorned with gummy worm candies to lure your young guests to the party dessert table.
Think Bite-Sized and Little Hand-Sized
When planning a birthday dessert table for kids, think about treats that are bite-sized and designed to be held by little hands. Brownies, cake pops, cookies, and cupcakes never fall out of favor with kids. These desserts make the perfect treats for children, especially when you include an assortment of flavors.
Bonus idea: Set out individual bags or bakery boxes for kids to take some treats home to share with their families.
Make Your Birthday Dessert Table Interactive
Kids love doing things with their hands, so why not make your birthday dessert table a fun, hands-on experience for your littlest guests?
Decorating cupcakes and frosting cookies are some of the simplest ways to engage kids in edible creativity. You can prepare or purchase your baked goods in advance, then prep the piping bags and decorations so that everything is set up for the kids when it’s time to decorate.
Arrange the completed culinary masterpieces, each on a labeled paper plate, on serving trays or cake pedestals on your dessert table so that everyone can admire them before devouring the goodies.
Get Creative With Your Dessert Presentations
When assembling and presenting your desserts, think about kid appeal. What will delight a child’s senses of sight, taste, smell, and touch? Consider interesting bowls, platters, trays, and other serving dishes that can take your desserts from something ordinary to extraordinary.
