Making Events Extra Sweet with Dessert Bars

You are here:

  3. Making Events Extra Sweet with…

If you’ve attended an event or two recently, you may have noticed that bars are no longer simply tables for serving drinks. What used to be a standard, one – cake show has evolved into a creative array of cake pops, cupcakes, macaroons, and dozens of other desserts. It is becoming increasingly common to see dessert bars as not only a stage for sweet selections, but also as a platform to carry out a theme or color combination for the event.

Setting the stage:

Rustic bar rentals, especially wine barrel bars, are one of the more popular choices for a display base. However, if you do not want to furnish your reception in a rustic style, any number of table rentals are suitable. Rectangle tables allow for the best view of the display as a whole while round tables allow for guests to select their desserts from all sides.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To give your dessert bar additional visual interest, use risers to vary the height and/or mix and match styles of serving trays. Some of the dessert display rentals we often see used are our Hammered SS risers, Tiered Stainless trays, cupcake stands, and cake stands.

You don’t have to use standard risers and trays – choose something that inspires you such as books, wooden crates, or vintage china for a personalized look.

Selecting your sweets:

The best part of having a dessert bar is of course, choosing your desserts. For those who love eating cake, having a smaller cake surrounded by trays of desserts allows your guests to have the best of both worlds.  For weddings, this also allows the couple to include the symbolic cutting of the cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiered cake pop stands, ceramic trays of tarts and brownies, glass bowls full of candy, and shooters of milk topped with mini cookies are some of the most appreciated choices for desserts. Variety is key and small portions are optimal so that guests have the option of trying several desserts.

Some choose to include champagne or signature drinks at their dessert bar and there is no reason not to! However, while beverage dispenser rentals add dynamic color and height, it is important to make sure that guests can fit their cup comfortably under the spigot and not disrupt the desserts.

Dressing up your display:

The color and style of linen rentals you choose will add to your event theme or colors.  Additional accessories to add to your dessert display are  table runners, vases of flowers and potted succulents, and framed photos or menus to compliment your party’s palette.

Signage allows your guests to know what they’re eating while also lending detailed accents to the bar.

Not sure of whether to send your guests home with a gift? Towards the end of the event, pass out nice goodie bags or sachets for everyone to choose a couple of their favorite treats to take along.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING COVID-19

The Stuart Rental Company’s highest priority is the health and safety of our team members, clients, and their families. Therefore, we are taking this opportunity to set forth how we are managing our business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will continue to update our policies as we learn more from the medical and scientific community, including new information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We encourage everyone to frequently refer to the CDC website for the latest on how best to contain and mitigate the impact of the virus.

OUR SHOWROOM IS OPEN

LIMITED HOURS: 10:00AM to 2:00PM, MON-FRI

CLEANING AND SANITATION

We have enhanced the process and increased the frequency of our equipment cleaning, spending extra attention to regularly contacted surfaces.

  • – We are using the same chemicals on our equipment as hospitals use to disinfect their surfaces.
  • – In addition, we continue to launder all linens and disinfect dishware, silverware, and glassware with high-temp commercial dishwashers, industrial sanitizers and chemicals.
  • – These processes are done in compliance with the latest California state and federal CDC guidance to ensure our products are COVID-19-free following their cleaning.
  • – We are cleaning our showroom, offices, warehouse and common areas with greater frequency using hospital-grade disinfectants, paying special attention to frequently touched surfaces.
  • – We have curtailed all non-essential employee travel to minimize the risk of spreading the virus to our staff and among the general population and we have instructed employees who feel ill to stay home and consult their healthcare provider.

 

DELIVERY AND PICKUP PROTOCOL: 10:00AM to 2:00PM, MON-FRI

We are keeping our teams current on all recommendations and updates from the CDC as well as instituting new safety precautions for the pickup and delivery of any product.

  • – We have equipped our delivery and pickup teams with masks, nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer, and EPA-approved cleaners/disinfectants specifically recommended by the CDC in its Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendations.
  • – During pickups and deliveries, we wipe all products with all-purpose cleaning solution and a disinfecting cleanser.
  • – Nitrile gloves are carefully disposed of after every pickup.
  • – We have instructed our staff to follow CDC-recommended social distancing guidelines, including avoiding shaking hands and using proper hygiene etiquette including hand washing.

We are committed to doing what is necessary to curtail the impact of COVID 19 and will therefore update these policies as the CDC and local and state health officials issue more guidance.
