<\/p>\nI want\u00a0each of my\u00a0clients to have nothing less than a\u00a0gorgeous event!\u00a0 Having styled my fair share of events and photo shoots through my paper company,\u00a0 I have picked up a few tricks in creating a memorable event!\u00a0 Once a week, I am going to share\u00a0one or two with you!\u00a0 Alone these small\u00a0tips and\u00a0details may seem\u00a0inconsequential, but I have learned that a one-of-a-kind event is all in the details.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I love mini desserts with spoons sticking straight out of them. To me, they are saying, “Eat me! I’m good!”<\/em> Here’s a few quick tricks I have learned to keep your spoons standing at attention for\u00a0guests.<\/p>\n 1) Use light weight silverware.\u00a0 Light weight dessert spoons (as shown in the photo above)\u00a0or wooden spoons are easier to work with than heavy weight utensils.\u00a0 And will help your desserts keep the spoons standing tall throughout the whole event. Often these light weight dessert utensils are included in your parfait and\/or mini dessert glass sets when you purchase them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Here\u00a0are two sets that I own: Libbey Just Desserts Parfait Glass with Minaiture Stainless <\/a> 2) Chill your desserts firmly.\u00a0 The sooner you take your items out the refrigerator the quicker they will soften.\u00a0 Soft desserts\u00a0have droopy spoons – not fun “Eat Me!” spoons.\u00a0 Don’t take your appetizers\/desserts out until a few minutes before your event will begin!<\/p>\n 3) After you have placed your desserts where you want them, don’t add the spoons until the moment before your guests arrive.\u00a0 I actually thinks it’s fun to be adding them casually as the\u00a0first trail of\u00a0guests arrive.\u00a0 Attending to small details while keeping casual conversation puts guests at ease and doesn’t make them feel like you have sweated all week to create this beautiful moment!<\/p>\n Foods that are easy to create this look with include:\u00a0parfaits, mousses, jellos, traditional ice creams, sorbets, rice puddings,\u00a0mashed potatoes, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSteel Spoon<\/a>s, Libbey Just Desserts Mini Flare Glass with Miniature\u00a0 Stanless Steel Spoons<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are having a large event and\u00a0on a budget, you can purchase just the\u00a0steel mini spoons and\/or forks<\/a>\u00a0and use clear plastic containers.\u00a0\u00a0Wooden spoons are also fabulous for a less dressed-up event.<\/p>\n
