Today marks the first post in a series on Inspiration for the Holiday Season! What better way to share Sweet Desserts Inspiration than going straight to the professionals at Queen’s Sweets.
My guest post today is by Makeda Dempsey, founder and owner of Queen’s Sweets. I had the pleasure of meeting Makeda in 2013 and have worked with her on several events. Queen’s Sweet’s is best recognized for their premium mouthwatering miniature desserts showcased at weddings and events since 2010.
Today, Queen’s Sweets is going to share Sweet Desserts inspiration for the holiday season, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve parties. Come get inspired as we talk shop on all things desserts and sweets!___________________________________________________________________
Holiday Desserts and Sweets Table
This is the best time of year to get people together for food, drinks and good laughs. One of the growing trends for parties and events during the holidays is the dessert table or bar.
The dessert table or bar consist of a variety of different desserts that all your guest will love! The size of the holiday party, event, or dinner will determine how many different deserts you will serve. Some of the most popular sweets and desserts this season include: cupcakes, cake pops, dessert shooters, mini pound cakes, mini cakes, and mini pies.
Bite size desserts are becoming the new norm, which allows your guests to sample the tasty treats without feeling too guilty. You’re guests will rave about how delicious and festive those mini pumpkin or apple pies looked and tasted! Try this mini pumpkin pie recipe by Home is Where the Boat Is.
Christmas Parties and Gifts
Christmas time still holds traditional elements such as the tree trimming, shopping, A Christmas Story (movie), and gift baskets, just to name a few. Some of the more trending Christmas gifts are edible desserts such as cookies, cake pops, cocoa on a stick, and homemade hot cocoa kit.
Order these specialty cookies from Queen’s Sweets just in time for Christmas or hostess gifts!

Here’s a Christmas dessert bar that is inspiring us by Amy Atlas, Sweet Designs.
New Year’s Eve Parties
New Year’s Eve (NYE) is such an exciting day! NYE is full of celebration and reflection. It’s a time to celebrate with family and friends as you look back on all the fond memories of the current year and the excitement of what the New Year holds. As you usher in a brand new year many will host an intimate party with close friends and family. Trending this year is to have a dessert for each place setting such as a cupcake, cake pop or dessert shooter.
What’s inspiring us for a NYE dessert bar is this festive look from Kara’s Party Ideas.
Happy Holidays!

Love the idea of a lot of little desserts so people can try multiple things.

All the desserts look so delicious and the presentation is gorgeous! I can’t wait to host an event where I can create a dessert or sweets bar like you’ve shown!

Love the mini desserts! I have never had chocolate pound cake before but that sounds DELICIOUS!
We’ve done the hot cocoa in a jar thing as gifts a couple of time. The last time I think it was more marshmallows that cocoa!
I love these ideas! Especially the desserts for New Years Eve.
I love the idea of giving out many tiny desserts–people can indulge while sampling everything!
Every picture looks elegant and delicious! Beautiful pictures for the holidays!
Not usually a desert guy and when I do then usually in small portions so these look deliciously perfect for snacking. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll take one of EVERYTHING please! Thanks for sharing such delicious looking little bites of holiday indulgence 🙂
I am loving all of these delicious treats and these pictures are fantastic.
These are fabulous ideas! We are hosting a holiday party in December with desserts so I’m going to bookmark this for reference! 🙂
The only thing more exciting than a good dessert is a miniature dessert! So cute!!
