Practice Dessert Table

This weekend, Kathy and I worked together on another dessert table. We followed the usual setup - she baked yummy desserts, and I got to make them look pretty.

While this project was mostly for fun and practice, Kathy also plans to use photos in an upcoming Project Wedding article about do-it-yourself dessert tables (link to article). Of course, the way to get nice photos is by luring your DSLR friends to the event with the promise that they can eat up the dessert table afterward.

I am very happy with the results. I tried a few new ideas with this table, and they all worked together nicely:
- Shower curtains as the backdrop
- Grid shelf to display flowers and desserts
- Office paper filers as elevated trays
- Picture frames as trays

A funny side story: I was at Safeway mulling over which flowers to use and finally settled on using tulips... at the same exact time some other woman decided she wanted to buy up every tulip in sight. I was lucky enough to grab two bunches of purple tulips before she snatched up everything at the flower stand we were at. I quickly ran to another section where I remembered seeing more tulips and managed to get the last purple bunch before she could get to them. There were a couple seconds where she tried to give me the stare down, but I just turned around and proudly walked away to the registers.
