Bloggers Cookie Exchange – Red Velvet Cookies

bloggers-cookie-exchange-graphic

I’m so glad you have stopped by for our Bloggers Cookie Exchange hosted by Randi Garrett. We all wish we could have a cookie exchange in person, but this is the next best thing! Plus this way, we get to share with you! If you are visiting from Zevy Joy, a special welcome to you!

I have made a delicious cookie for this fun event, but first I’d like to talk a little bit about styling.

When it comes to the holidays, who doesn’t love the dessert table? And what is it about Christmas cookies? I just cannot help myself when they make an appearance in mine or any other kitchen.

This is my dessert table this year. I wanted to make sure it would be as festive as possible. The Christmas tree and star lights create such a lovely backdrop which allows the touches of sparkle throughout the table to really stand out. *This post contains affiliate links.

A Few Tips for Styling a Dessert Table

First and foremost, make sure the cookies or whichever desert you are preparing is the star of the show. This will take a bit of planning on your part. Are you wanting to offer only one desert or perhaps a few options? At times we all need inspiration and guidance. Pinterest is a great medium to explore ideas. You can follow me on Pinterest here.

I focused a great bit on symmetry with the tabletop trees and kept a consistency with the white and neutral color palette of this space. I also wanted to incorporate the glass and metallic features of the ornaments, trees and of course, the glassware. The table has a balance that simply works with all of the elements on display. Lastly, I chose a cake stand to elevate and showcase the cookies.

While these items all work quite well during the holiday season, most are flexible enough to be used throughout the year. There is no need to over think the colors here. Simple is better and white is always a very safe and effective choice.

My dessert table often includes a beautiful beverage as well. Champagne is such a nice choice for the holidays.
