The Cutest Cake Stands, Sundae Glasses & Dessert Bowls To Serve Up This Summer
Ice cream season is here (as if we needed an excuse), so we’ve rounded up the cutest, quirkiest dessert dishes to style your table with. From statement cake stands to retro ice cream glasses and cute dessert bowls, scroll to shop our favourites that will make every day a sundae…
It is no secret that we love a tablescape here at The Handbook, whether it’s spoiling our other half with an Instagrammable breakfast or wowing guests at a dinner party come the weekend. So, when we spotted this kooky interiors micro-trend, you can imagine our thrill. Dessert crockery is making a comeback and it’s sure to be the cherry on top of a well-put-together tabletop.
For those who fancy themselves as the next Nadiya Hussain, there are plenty of colourful cake stand designs around right now. We love Vaiselle’s Hot Cakes design with its on-trend checked print and clashing pink and orange base – the perfect home for a pretty Victoria Sponge or double up and use it as a fruit bowl for the day-to-day.
If you’re after something really special, Les Ottoman’s ceramic stand with handmade porcelain lemons will transport your kitchen to the Amalfi Coast. Top with anything from sourdough to a zesty lemon meringue to add some freshness to your kitchen.
Make dessert courses more decadent with these hand-blown compotes. The ridged glass detailing gives them a wonderfully 1960s nostalgic feel.
Double up on your cost-per-use and serve up your puddings in a chic martini glass or champagne coupe. Dutch brand, Lepelclub, was launched to create the most joyful spoons – yes really, a brand with a whole lot of love for spoons, think leopard print or twisted details in marshmallow pink – but have segwayed into the coolest of coupes too. Check out their pearl-encrusted glasses that are the perfect vessel for a boozy sorbet, retro ice cream or indulgent chocolate mousse, as well as a dirty martini – we like those too.
Or add a retro flare to your next hosting with Oliver Bonas’ jasmine orange-hued saucers. Perfect for topping up with a sharp cocktail, blood orange dessert or something equally as zesty.
