The thing people photograph.
A dessert table is the part of an event that guests pull their phones out for. The overhead shot on this page is a real one: banana pudding cups, cherry cheesecake cups, brownies and lemon bars arranged as a full display rather than lined up on a tray, with a cake at the center when the occasion calls for one.
Everything on the table is made from scratch in house. Because it comes from the same kitchen as the catering, there is one delivery, one setup and one person to call, and the table can close a dinner, a brunch or a reception without a second vendor.
Dessert starts at $6 per person and can be ordered on its own or added to any menu.
This table was built for a real Akron event.
See more from real eventsStyled for the reception hall and the living room alike.
Dessert tables show up at every kind of Akron event. Wedding receptions in the ballrooms on Akron Peninsula Road and East Waterloo. Bridal and baby showers in West Akron and Fairlawn Heights living rooms. Corporate appreciation days in the break rooms along East Market and the towers on South Main. Graduation open houses in Ellet and the Falls, where cups and bars travel around a backyard better than a sliced cake.
The display is built on site from the kitchen at 647 E Market Street, so cups are filled and cakes are finished the day of. We bring the risers, stands and signage and size the table to the surface you have.
Cups and bars also go out as a drop off tray for an office or a family gathering when a full display is more than the room needs.
What comes with it.
Dessert cups
Banana pudding, cherry cheesecake and more in individual cups, portioned to travel and serve cleanly.
Bars, brownies and mini pies
The body of the display, arranged on risers with the styling included.
A cake at the center
A custom cake decorated to the theme, or a sheet cake for a bigger crowd, from the same kitchen.
On its own or added on
Order the dessert table alone, or add it to a lunch, dinner or brunch menu.
Also from this kitchen.
This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.

Before you book.
How many desserts do you plan per person?
Enough for seconds. A dessert table is grazed rather than portioned, so we plan by headcount and event length and mix cups, bars and bites so the display stays full to the end.
Do you bring the stands, risers and styling?
Yes. Risers, stands, signage and the display styling come with setup. You provide the table or tell us the surface and we build to it.
Can a dessert table be made for allergies or dietary needs?
Yes. Gluten free, dairy free and nut free options can be built in and labeled on the table. Tell us on the request form how many guests are affected and how serious each need is.
What does a dessert table cost per person?
Dessert starts at $6 per person as the floor from our request form. A custom cake at the center and the size of the display move the number. Give us a budget per person and we build the table to it.
Two ways to start.
Know your date, headcount and menu direction? Send the short form and we will call you. Prefer to give us everything at once? Use the full catering request.
