Planning note: Use this guide to prepare your order details. Confirm current menu availability, quantities, timing, pickup or delivery options, decoration options, and pricing with Paris Baguette Yonge & Eglinton before placing a larger order.
Start with the dessert role
- Decide whether the bakery table is the main dessert moment, a late-night treat, a guest favour, or a supplement to cake.
- Share the expected guest count, venue timing, refrigeration needs, and serving style with every vendor involved.
Questions for your venue
- Where can bakery boxes, trays, or cakes be staged before service?
- Is there refrigeration or a cool holding area?
- Who handles table placement, setup, and cleanup?
- When can outside vendors or guests bring food items onsite?
Questions for planners and coordinators
- Who confirms the final quantity and pickup timing?
- Who checks product labels or dietary notes?
- Who is the on-site contact if timing changes?
- Where should the bakery table appear in the event timeline?
Photography and display notes
- Ask your photographer to capture the dessert table before guests arrive.
- Use a simple table layout with height variation, clean signage, and neutral serving pieces.
- Avoid overcrowding the table; pastries read better with space around them.
Florals and styling
- Keep fresh flowers away from food-contact surfaces unless they are food-safe.
- Use low-profile arrangements near pastry displays so guests can see product names.
- Coordinate colours with the venue palette, but keep labels easy to read.
