Gold Themed Dessert Table

Well, I have one final post from the gold set design. I promise, no more gold after this for a while :)

This time I wanted to show you more pictures and details from the dessert table.

Here's a full shot of the dessert table again.

I wanted to continue the gold theme with the food and table decorations. We thought it would be fun to do cake pops. I wanted to display them in a fun way though.

I bought a couple different sized trays from Party City and filled them with gold and white candy.  I thought it would be fun to lay some of the cake pops on top of the candy.

This tray was filled with M&Ms and sixlets {in the picture they look orange, but they were actually called 'gold' on the package I promise}.

These were chocolate covered almonds.

For the rest of the cake pops, I bought vases and filled them with that shredded gift bag filler. I contemplated putting floral foam in the vases, but didn't think that would end up looking pretty. The filler was stiff enough to hold the cake pops and looked cuter in my opinion. :) 

I attempted to spray paint the filler with gold glitter, but had some issues with the spray paint I bought. Halfway through spraying, the can quit working. So to add a bit of 'bling' to the vases, I used scraps leftover from the metallic poms and sprinkled it in with the filler.

Nashville Cake Pops supplied us with the treats. They were sooo good! And they were able to do some with a gold metallic spray and then some with gold sprinkles. So fun!

Here was the finished product with the cake pops on display.

For the vases, I also added some gold glitter ribbon and taped it around the vase. Just to jazz them up a bit more.

Did you notice the poms on the table too? I made a few extra to add to the table to tie everything in.

I loved getting to do something different and out of the norm when it came to the food {and it didn't hurt that yummy cake pops were involved either} ;) And everyone seemed to enjoy it, which is the most important part.

And drumroll please..the lucky winner of the silhouette notecards and gift tags is::

Congratulations Dee! I'll be sending you an email for you to claim your prize :)

This weekend continues the packing saga. I feel like I've barely made a dent, so it's time to get serious. Aside, from packing, I also have to paint my new room, yay! I've picked a color and I can't wait to see it up on the walls.

Since I'll be busy next week packing and moving, I've asked some talented bloggers to guest post for me over the next week or so. Just until I can get a bit settled :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
