Yellow Dessert Table
Yellow Dessert Table: Yellow desserts from cupcakes, cookies, lemon tarts, and yellow candy to create the perfect yellow themed dessert table.

Yellow Desserts
If you love yellow, then our yellow themed dessert table should inspire you for your next party and give you lots of yellow desserts ideas.
It’s been a very busy week working on our church’s 10th Anniversary Weekend. What a wonderful time it has been! Saturday night we had a wonderful celebratory banquet, and I was in charge of the dessert table. The church’s logo colours are yellow and blue, so we went with yellow as the theme colour of the banquet and the dessert table. We had over 20 different sweet choices, and everything was so tasty!
Yellow DIY Cake Stands
The show stopper was the large wooden cake stands. I was inspired on-line by a few clever brides who had hand-made their cake plates, in order to achieve a custom look. Check out our inspiration here and here. Yellow can be a tricky colour to find, so custom making our cake plates was a great solution.
Yellow Cupcakes
Featured on the yellow cake plates, were five different varieties of cupcakes, and cake pops. We had vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, with yellow frosting and topped with our custom cupcake picks. We also had coconut, with cream cheese frosting, banana with caramel butter cream, and “24 carrot” cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and garnished with real gold flakes!

The cake pops were a favourite.
Yellow Cookies
Along with all the cupcakes there were several kinds of cookies. We were inspired by Made in Brooklyn, who featured some similar cookies on her blog. We decided to use round rather than square.
There were a few other kinds of cookies; shortbread and rice crispy squares drizzled with yellow chocolate.
- sugar cookies
- shortbread cookies
- rice crispy squares with yellow chocolate drizzle
Lemon Desserts
Also on the buffet were lemon squares and mini lemon meringue tarts. People were puckered up for them!

More Yellow Dessert Ideas
Another favourite with everyone was the individual banana parfaits. We used shot glasses, and the sweetest little spoons, we layered banana pudding, banana, caramel sauce and whip cream, yum!

We also had homemade fudge, mini pineapple upside down cakes, butterscotch bars, mini cheesecakes, and butter tarts. It was an amazing feast, for the eyes, as well as the tummy!

Yellow Candy
Along with all these home baked goods, we also included some candy. In keeping with our yellow theme, we had jelly beans, caramels, and rock candy.

- caramel squares
- yellow rock candy
- cones of caramel corn
We also included some treat cones, made out of yellow scrap book and wrapping paper, and filled with a mixture of caramel corn and vanilla clop hoppers.
Yellow Centrepieces and Party Favours
To carry on the yellow theme, I made simple orchid centre pieces for all the tables, they looked beautiful with the candle light. Another fun detail was small bags of yellow candyfloss which we placed in the souvenir mugs as a party favour.
It was a beautiful evening of celebrating with friends that feel like family. I had an army of bakers to help me pull this one off, special thanks to Heather, Bev, Lucia, Maureen, Miya and Renate. I am so pleased with the results. Sometimes life truly is a party!

WOW!! That looks so wonderful Dannyelle! I am inspired by you! Can’t wait to see your Halloween pics. Too bad it will be too late for this years Trunk or Treat at my church. I’m sure I will regret not having your creativity!
Beautiful, as always! Love all the selection and the yellow was perfect for such a terrific celebration. Happy 10th, Hope CC!
So cute! It looks so bright and cheery not to mention delicious! Yum!
I adore those cake stands! I’d like one in yellow, pink and white for spring!
And my sister served banana pudding – and key-lime pudding – in shot glasses at her wedding. So cute!
Wow – what a fun table. And so many yummy things too. I bet everyone had a wonderful time! Great job!

Wonderful job! Everything looks perfect! I love the yellow and of course I love the stands. Isn’t it great to get exactly the size, color and shape you want! I appreciate the shout out and I’m excited to see someone else try this! Your church is lucky to have you!
I love the yellow cake stands. Did you make them? I think I might have to make one or even two! Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment ~ Carrie
