Beautiful Rainbow Dessert Tables

Nothing can outshine the beauty of a rainbow themed dessert table. If the rainbow seems too bright and vivid for your party, soften the palette with pastel shades of the traditional colors. Include colorful tablecloths, streamers, balloons, or paper crafts. Decorate the desserts with a variety of icing colors and place color coordinated candies in jars or dishes.

Green Dessert Table

Instead of a rainbow theme, go green! Dye your desserts green, use a green tablecloth, and include leaves, moss, frogs, leprechauns, or any other green embellishment. If you are celebrating nature, include grasses and recycled paper napkins or gift bags.
