A fall dessert table is a wonderful way to celebrate the new season with family and friends!  Who doesn’t love the flavors of autumn…or just desserts for that matter?  Today I’d love to share some whimsical ways to put a twist on a treat table to welcome the season…and I’m so excited to do this in collaboration with Tiffany Wong Party!  Printable party decorations are such an effortless way to make your event look amazing whether it’s a big shindig or a simple “ordinary day” occasion…so I’m really happy to share her wonderful designs!  You know by now how much I love easy ways to entertain…especially when they fit my budget! Keeping a celebration in a reasonable price range is not only easy on the wallet but allows me to throw a pretty party more often!  So a little DIY-ing, baking, and repurposing can keep entertaining affordable and achievable…and you CAN do it without sacrificing style!  I’m really tickled pink to share this autumn fun with you…

it’s always fun to put a new twist on a party…and using non-traditional colors is one of my favorites!

a soft, pink palette makes a cheerful compliment to the pops of black on the table!  i adore this printable party collection for adding a pale touch of color…

let’s decorate!

i used stickers to embellish my banner but you can use the provided words.  so easy to cut, print, and decorate!

and the best part about the party collections is the fact you can mix and match them!

diy decorations, cake toppers

i love these cake toppers…just glue a pick to the back and pop them into your treats!  they look extra sweet on a cake stand decorated with paper dots!

fall treats

cupcake wraps and the cute toppers makes my simple pumpkin muffins look spectacular!

fall treats

sweets for sweeties!

cookies are always fun at a celebration…and you can get really creative without possessing spectacular decorating skills!  i spelled out “tickled pink” with these short breads and scattered them along the table!

and while this next dessert may not look simple…it REALLY is!  you can use any recipe (including a box mix) to make this pumpkin-shaped cake.  separate the batter into two ovenproof bowls, bake, and put them together to make a sphere!   generously coat with frosting and use your spatula to create lines to mimic the real deal…then top with greens and a stem!

i created this one by scrunching & twisting a section ripped from a brown paper lunch bag!

colorful details!

pink paper dots and these pretty food labels are cute & simple details!   i painted craft pumpkins and made a slit on top to hold the cards in place!

i carried more “dotty” fun through the table by sandwiching extra circles between paper & glass dessert plates!

and to keep my place settings simple…i just topped each plate with a glass!  i love how the polka dots peek out…

    This is SUCH a cute one! Love pumpkin chocolate chip anything so I will definitely be trying this recipe and that cake is awesome. I tried a pumpkin once with a bundt pan and it didn’t turn out so well. I should probably try it again. Love all the pink. And the napkins and rings and bottle tags are so cute.

      Thanks Bri! That recipe is one my mom makes all the time and it’s so good! And I had issues with other pans when baking the pumpkin cake…I found using two pyrex bowls works best!
