\"Spooktacular<\/p>\n

And we do mean a Happy<\/em> Halloween sweets table<\/a><\/strong>! Not scary, not creepy, not even a little icky. Instead, we suggest a quick and easy desserts display featuring favorite goodies all chosen to fit the party palette. In this case, a trio of black, white, and green. The trick actually lies in the styling\u2014the color choices, the themed decorative touches, and the lighting. Quick, grab some ideas for your own Halloween wedding shower sweets table before we can say \u201cBoo!\u201d<\/p>\n

Prepare Fun and Frightful Decor Accents<\/h2>\n

\"Witch<\/p>\n

Once the Halloween season is round the corner, stores are just brimming with themed accessories. So why not run out and grab a few to incorporate in your desserts display? For our table, we chanced upon a cute little witch\u2019s hat sporting a glittery buckle\u2014in green. We then dug up an old wooden frame that we used to display the table sign\u2014also in green. Just the thing for our chosen palette! It\u2019s invitation to guests? \u201cDouble, double, toil and trouble. Get your treats here on the double!\u201d<\/p>\n

Play Up the Palette with Green Treats<\/h2>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

To give your treats station a pulled-together look, the simplest element you can use is color.<\/strong> So with that in mind, all you need to do is scour the grocery shelves for yummy items that all have a hint of green! Our finds included whirly pops, assorted gummy candies, and caramel apples coated in green sprinkles.<\/p>\n

To show them off as part of the display, we used:<\/p>\n

– vintage milk glass vessels<\/strong>, crystal bowls, and white ceramic cake stands
\n– wooden skewers<\/strong> to present the gummy candies and marshmallows standing in a slender black vase
\n– clear cello wraps and gold twist<\/strong> ties to keep the candy apple’s coating visible<\/p>\n

Other candy options in green could be: rock candy, jelly beans, licorice rope, M&Ms, green-coated choco almonds, gumballs, and coated sunflower seeds.<\/p>\n

Bake (or Buy) Scrumptious Treats Everyone Will Like<\/h2>\n

Again, the goodies we chose are nothing overly fancy, which range from yummy eclairs to creme puffs to chocolate pretzel sticks. Again, color is key. So you\u2019ll notice that our 5 options are all within the black, white and green palette.<\/p>\n

Choice 1<\/strong>: Bite-size eclairs<\/strong> filled with cream, then topped with chocolate frosting and white chocolate pieces<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Choice 2<\/strong>: Mini chocolate cupcakes topped with dollops of white marshmallow icing and green choco-coated sunflower seeds<\/p>\n

\"White<\/p>\n

Choice 3:<\/strong> More cupcakes, this time frosted with rich chocolate icing, and golden crusted cream puffs<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Choice 4:<\/strong> Milk chocolate Kisses, choco-dipped pretzel sticks, and green whirly pops<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Choice 5:<\/strong> Chocolate almonds, marshmallows, and swirly lollipops<\/p>\n

\"Marshmallows<\/p>\n

Serve a Halloween Tradition: Popcorn!<\/h2>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

Want to add a fun interactive element to your sweets table? Prepare freshly-popped popcorn with witch\u2019s hat alongside. So, guests get to scoop their fill of this traditional Halloween treat and take it home in these cones!<\/p>\n

Assemble the Elements Together<\/h2>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

Once all the goodies are ready, the styling fun begins! Lay out a black mesh runner or overlay on the table top to create a \u201ccreepy chic\u201d effect. Black lace<\/strong> would be great for this as well. Provide white doilies<\/strong> to position each baked or candy treat on, and create height for your display with the various containers and stands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Completed Sweets Table<\/h2>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

Now for the finishing touches! If you have an antique silver candlestick<\/strong>, prop the witch\u2019s hat on it with some faux cotton cobwebs<\/strong>\u2014and you have a little haunted house vignette! Finally, position the framed sign inviting all to enjoy the sweets, then add several votive candles<\/strong> to cast that unexpectedly eerie Halloween glow.<\/p>\n

Guests are sure to enjoy trick-or-treating at this bridal shower sweets table!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
