Sweeten Your Hanukkah Using a Dessert Table for All Ages

Brooke Pratt desires her household’s dessert table to shout the arrival of the holidays this past year. “I like things to be bigger than life. It’s just how I work,” says Pratt, the crafter and manufacturer behind Sucre Shop. Like many crafters, Pratt attempts to outdo jobs from holidays past by hard herself to go where she has never gone before. Here she shares a dessert spread that’s fun for all ages and more lively and vivid compared to conventional Hanukkah table.

Pratt covered a timber crafts table having an ombré tablecloth and pushed it against a wall in her dining area. Subsequently she put a new spin on the Hanukkah dessert table with typography, which she left out of foam-core board and globe string lights. For a more three-dimensional look, she added edging around each letter and brightened each letter with spray paint. (Get step-by-step directions )

“Yellow is only a slight departure from gold, which can be typically employed for Hanukkah; I love yellow because it’s far more intense and bright,” Pratt says. Yellow also symbolizes the flames of menorah candles.

Rather than setting the table with a menorah, Pratt produced a menorah contour with pudding cups. She numbered shot glasses with gold stickers, put little stars on a glass to the shamash (additional light) and filled them with blueberry pudding.

Pratt’s kids are at an age when they could appreciate all the things that pop and sparkle. “Year after year their fascination grows, and they really enjoy seeing how I have interpreted the colors and contours of their holidays into each dessert,” she states.

Pratt produced these butter celebrity cookies with royal icing by cutting holes in the centre before baking, therefore each cookie can rest on top of a glass with a brightly colored striped straw poking through. She peppered the dining table with gold coins, or gelt, and dreidels.

Pratt decorated these biscuits with the Hebrew letters nun, gimmel, hay and shin. These letters create a Hebrew phrase that roughly translates to,”A fantastic miracle happened there.”

There is a motive Pratt’s dessert table is loaded with fried items like doughnuts and olive oil cupcakes. “It’s to remind us of the wonder of petroleum Hanukkah,” she states.

A tower of plain doughnuts and sprinkles alongside condensed milk and honey encourages guests to decorate and decorate their dessert.

“Our Hanukkah dessert table reflects our love of all things sweet, entertaining, handmade and homemade. You would be amazed at what a bright colour here, a twist of ingredients there, can do to help your desk,” says Pratt.
