I recommend exploring Pinterest for your dessert table inspiration. There are so many images available and you can see what works and what doesn\u2019t work.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> I usually use a 4 ft table for my dessert table. I find food styled on a longer table can sometimes look a bit lost. Planning is also very important. \u00a0I always sketch my dessert table layout a month or so before the event and decide how many platters and cakes stands I will need, how many desserts will fit on each of the servers, I pick a colour theme and decide where everything will be placed. I create a mock-up of the dessert table a couple of weeks before to ensure everything flows and work out where I will place the birthday cake. I like to create height with tall cake stands and introduce new and interesting levels with shorter stemmed cake servers and pretty platters. <\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was there a food item that you found to be very popular with your guests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The cupcakes and cookies are popular.

Do you have experience with making desserts?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I knew I would be short on time and I wanted to focus on the other desserts so I ordered a plain cake from a cake shop and I decorated it at home. I covered the cake in pale pink buttercream icing then used the same icing and a Wilton 125 petal tip to pipe ruffles around the cake. I watched a buttercream ruffle cake tutorial online to learn the technique.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Isabella\u2019s acrylic gold ballerina cake topper was made by Kyrie at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glisteningoccasions.com.au\">Glistening Occasions<\/a>. It was absolutely perfect, the height and design worked so well with the ruffled cake. The birthday girl was also extremely excited as the arabesque is her favourite ballet position.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ve never had any formal training in baking. I\u2019ve been doing this for fun for the past few years for my children\u2019s birthdays.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you make your ballet barre?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>My creative husband made the ballet barre out of PVC\u00a0pipes and timber. He found instructions on the internet and purchased all the materials from Bunnings, including the spray paint. It was absolutely perfect and the most ideal place to hang the ballerina tutu\u2019s for our party guests.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3276\" src=\"http:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016.jpg\" alt=\"Ballet Party Sydney\" width=\"2136\" height=\"3216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016.jpg 2136w, https:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016-280x422.jpg 280w, https:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1-Ballet-party-Sydney-10th-April-2016-166x250.jpg 166w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2136px) 100vw, 2136px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/emmavalentinephotography\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Emma Valentine Photography<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/dancingqueenparties.com.au\/index.php\/2016\/08\/08\/diy-ballerina-party-an-interview-pt2\/\">part 2<\/a> to find out what Emma gave her guests as their take home gifts and what she thought about using a party hosting service like Dancing Queen Parties!<\/p>\n<p>Want to have your very own Anna Ballerina party entertainer to delight and captivate your guests?
