YEARS IN THE MAKING

It feels like a lifetime ago when I first had to get creative (pun intended!) and solve a tricky problem: how to travel with supplies to set up a stunning sweet table for a client. My solution at the time? Gift boxes! They worked like a charm—they looked gorgeous and added a touch of elegance that just felt right. These gift boxes became a signature look for me, doubling as risers and making my life as an event planner so much easier. They were lightweight, super easy to set up, always looked picture-perfect, and best of all, I didn’t have to worry about collecting them at the end of the night.

Over time, I began customizing the boxes to match each event’s theme, printing and covering them with different designs. But despite how much I loved the look, there were some challenges. I often thought, Wouldn’t it be amazing if these came in different colors? The boxes weren’t always sturdy enough to hold heavier items like drinks or cake stands without the fear of a topple. And let’s not even get started on how easily dessert grease would transfer onto them—a single misplaced cookie could leave a mark that just wouldn’t budge!

 

Fast forward a bit—after selling my reception hall business, I decided to take a breather and reflect on what was next for me. But even during my break, I couldn’t resist designing sweet tables just for fun. Anytime I felt stressed or uninspired, I’d team up with a bakery and create a dessert collection. It was during this period of reflection that the idea for The Sweet Table Shop™ was born. I wanted to create a place where dessert lovers, party enthusiasts, and fellow creatives could find the perfect accessories to craft their dream sweet tables, buffets, and more!

The star of our shop is, without a doubt, our Signature Box Risers. These beauties come in three sizes and are made from food-safe, grease-resistant materials. They’re sturdy enough to hold your heaviest treats, but the best part? They’re collapsible! That means they’re as easy to store as they are to set up. And while they still make the perfect keepsake boxes, I have a feeling you won’t want your guests taking them home. They truly are the best!
