Dessert Table Trend: Hutches/Bureaus/Dressers

Call them what you will. Whether you call it a hutch, bureau, or dresser, they are the new trend in dessert tables. Party planners are taking the candy display vertical for a new twist on the traditional horizontal display.

The trend can fit any theme or vibe. Check out this calligraphy-labeled, feminine spread.

I designed macaron stands and styled desserts for this Marie Antoinette-inspired spread. It's full of bright colors, and the hutch has a great damask background.

This light, bright yellow display is full of cakes and flowers. The white bookcase is nearly invisible against the wall of windows in the background.

I even came across a candy-stuffed dresser when I stopped by Minnesota's Largest Candy Store last month. The mirrored top clevery reflects the store's other goodies.
