Plan your cake

Blushy Bakery · Spartanburg, SC

How do I plan a dessert table for a wedding, shower or banquet?

Pick three to five kinds of desserts, plan about two or three pieces per guest next to a cake, and add a centrepiece cake. Blushy Bakery in Spartanburg, SC makes dessert tables to order.

Orders need at least one week's notice.

How many dessert pieces do I need per guest?

A common rule of thumb is two or three pieces per guest when there is also a cake, and more if the table is the only dessert. This is general guidance, not a promise.

Tell us your guest count and whether you will have a cake, and we help you choose the numbers.

What should go on a dessert table?

Mix shapes, textures and sizes. Blushy Bakery makes Italian macarons, cream horns, mini biscuits, crème brûlée, pavlova, panna cotta, fruit yogurt cups, jello cups and cupcakes.

Three to five kinds usually look full without overwhelming the table.

How do I pick a centrepiece?

A long celebration cake or a classic honey cake in the middle gives the table a focus, with smaller desserts around it. For a wedding, many couples pair a smaller wedding cake with a table of macarons, cream horns and dessert cups in their colours.

If a table and a cake are both planned, many couples order a slightly smaller cake.

How do I match the table to my colours?

Macarons are an easy way to bring in your colours. Berry cups add colour too.

Send us your colours, your theme and photos you like, and we suggest a mix.

Questions

How many desserts for 50 guests?

Using the general rule of two or three pieces per guest next to a cake, that is about 100 to 150 pieces. Tell us your guest count and we help you land on the right number.

Can I mix macarons and cream horns?

Yes. Mixing several kinds is what makes a table look full.

Do you provide a centrepiece cake?

Yes. A long celebration cake or a honey cake works well in the middle.

How early should I book a dessert table?

At least one week ahead for any order. For weddings and big parties, message as soon as you have your date.

Have a date in mind?

Tell us about it. We need at least a week, and the sooner you message, the more room we have to make it special.
