ADVICE FROM A PRO
Matt’s tip
“These disposable mini coffee mugs are an easy way to elevate simple, homemade, or even store-bought desserts to make them look and feel more special.
I think they look best when presented in groups of the same dessert, arranged in rows, and displayed on square or rectangular premium disposable serving plates (see links below).
Alternatively, you can also present them on cake stands and risers (see links below), which is a great way to add additional height to your dessert table display.
For more about the three simple rules for layout; groups, rows, and levels, see my dessert table layout page.
Note that these disposable mini coffee mugs come in different sizes, ranging from 2 oz to 8 oz. I’d recommend using the 8 oz, which are approx 3.25″ tall and wide, whereas the 2 oz are only 2″ tall and wide which I think is a little small for a dessert; these are more suited to a shot of espresso.
To reduce lines at the dessert table, make these โgrab & goโ by serving with a disposable wood or plastic spoon / fork (see links below) sticking out of the dessert or tied to the mug with ribbon or twine.
Remember to order the right size spoon / fork depending on the size of your mug. Mini spoons and forks around typically 4โณ and regular dessert spoons / forks are around 6โณ.
To personalize, you could add a custom sticker (links below) or use personalized disposable spoons / forks printed with your event name (see links below).
Although these are intended to be disposable mini coffee mugs, some people have said they pop them in the dishwasher so they can be used again for future events”.
