Custom Candy Tables & Dessert Tables Costs
How much should you expect to pay for a custom candy table in Ottawa? It depends on the type of food and the size of the table you want.
A typical dessert table with a custom cake and other food items will cost anywhere from $300 – $1,000.
Things To Decide
Before ordering your custom dessert table, here’s some things you should know:
- How many people you’re looking to serve. This will determine the size and amount of food you’re ordering. Generally, you aim to have atleast 3-4 “dessert” pieces (cupcakes, cookies, etc) for each guest.
- The Theme/ Colour Scheme Of Your Party. Decorators will be able to create a table off of very little inspiration, but it helps to decide on a general colour scheme or theme beforehand.
- Any allergies or dietary requirements from your guest list.
- Cake flavour and colour. If you are getting a cake for the centrepiece, the bakery will have a list of flavours for inside the cake to choose from.
- Icing Flavour. For the cake, do you know if you want a fondant icing or regular icing on the outside? While fondant is what gives designer cakes their clean cut look and intricate designs, the consistency and flavour can sometimes be not sweet enough for kids to really enjoy.
- Photos Help. There are a plethora of photos on the internet to get inspiration from for your candy table & dessert station, and this can help designers to understand what you’re looking for and exceed your expectations. If you can have photos of tables you like when ordering, this will make the process that much easier (and the cake that much better).
