Purple Dessert Table:  cookies, cakepops, donuts, blueberry trifle and a candy buffet create the most beautiful dessert table.

My dear friend Connie celebrated her 30th birthday on the weekend. We had a lovely 30th birthday dinner party -which you can read all about here, and finished off with this beautiful purple dessert table with lots of ideas inspired by our Purple Party.

Purple Dessert Table

The backdrop of the table was made by stringing up some ruffles. I love command hooks, they make it so easy to add party decor, and remove it latter without marking the walls.

I also cut out the "30" from some foam board and decoupaged it with paper doilies, and a little glitter.

Blueberry Trifles

I made sweet little blueberry trifles, see the recipe here.

I love serving individual portions.

Donuts

I had these sweet little tea cups, with pretty purplish flowers, and thought they'd be lovely to hold simple donut holes.

I also served some jelly donut holes on these cute Asian spoons, with a sweet toothpick and ribbon flag added.

Cake Pops

I made vanilla cake pops, and added a  ribbon detail for a little more purple.

Shortbread Cookies with Purple Sugar Sprinkles

We also made shortbread cookies, and tied them into little bundles with purple baker's twine.

Candy Buffet

I also served some candy, in my pretty vintage milk glass candy bowls.
