ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

“While maybe no longer the most original dessert table treatguests love cake pops because theyโ€™re a more convenient size to nibble on while standing, chatting, or minglingโ€”compared to larger cupcakes

Presenting them vertically using a cake pop stand, rather than upside down on serving plates, creates a strong visual, adds height to your dessert table, and makes them feel more special.

Give some thought to how the finished display will look before ordering your cake pops. Alternating between two different colored cake pops gives a stylish and modern look.

Alternatively, using a different color per row or tier allows you to offer more variety while still looking well-designed. You could even create an ombre effect over the rows / tiers by starting with the darkest hue in the bottom tier / front row rising to the lightest in the top tier / back row.
