Imagine these desserts below just on their own minus their fancy surroundings… they’d look a little dull wouldn’t they?  Part of ensuring your dish looks appetizing is to think about colour and what tabletop accessories will best compliment your masterpiece.  A plain cake can be spruced up with a pretty tablecloth, a bright plate, a colourful cake fork or an attractive cake stand.

It’s not as simple as it sounds, finding the right dinnerware, is it?  There is so much to choose from… where do you start?  I can be easier if you have a theme in mind and possibly a season (Summer, Autumn, Christmas time?).  Do a little research and don’t be afraid to experiment.  I get a lot of great ideas from wedding blogs, as the table setting images tend to be very inspirational.  Mix and match to get the look you want!
