A-MAZING! That’s pretty much the best way to describe this fabulous Victorian Halloween Dessert Table created by the sugar-style gurus at Sweets Indeed.
In addition to the cool black lace backdrop, the individual crème brûlées served in chocolate cups, and the ridiculously gorgeous cake, one of my favorite things about this table is how stylish and adult-friendly it feels. (P.S. – The black lace backdrop is a great idea for lingerie-themed bridal showers & bachelorettes too!)
Read on for lots more dazzling images (photography by The Pixel Studio) and all the creative details, as told by Marie of Sweets Indeed…
“For this shoot, we wanted to create something that didn’t necessarily scream Halloween but had a subtle creepiness to it. We drew inspiration from the Victorian era and tapped into our inner haunted mansion.
After handcrafting our black lace backdrop and dessert stands, we decided on desserts for the more mature palette and made creme brulee in chocolate dishes, tiramisu, lavender ginger cookies, decorated lemon sugar cookies, monster-tini’s and an assortment of candy take away treats.
The two-tiered cake was made by Rebecca Lehman of Heavenscent Cakes and became a focal point for the Sweet Station. We loved the intricate detailing and the perfect color match!
We designed and created all of the paper goods as part of the overall look of this station. (Our custom dessert stations come with many of these unique items that we create specifically for the event.)
The Victorian Halloween themed favor boxes, mini treat cups, candy bar wrappers, and flavor tags were a lot of fun to make! Fabulous scrapbook paper, brads, and decorative items help complete the look…
We even adorned the center of our candy bar wrappers with a sticker from the Martha Stewart Halloween collection. The coffin candy cases are from her collection as well and can be found in-store at Michaels.
Beware, we caught a ghost sneaking treats in one of the photos! Can you spot him?

Wow! I’m in awe. That cake? Speechless. Simply amazing.
And, uh, that tiramisu? That creme brulee in chocolate cups? Please send some my way.
I’m loving the lace!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. I love how they paired up and boxed the various candies and displayed the desserts. The cake is gorgeous and I would love to find out how a Ginger Lavender cookie tastes! Also – can’t go wrong with a little help from Martha!
Wow! What a beautiful display!
Love all the details!
Amaaaazzzing!!
WOW. All of the desserts are stunning. I wonder where she got the beautiful candies (the orange/black/white … so fun!)
LOVE the cake!
Everything looks great! This is so creative. I love the casket favor boxes.
LOVE that cake! The piping is perfectly done, and the concept is absolutely perfect for the party. Now I want someone to throw a party where I could conceivably pitch making a cake based on that concept!
im in love….

w.o.w!
Every time I see this spread, I’m in awe. There’s always something else to see!
I can’t get over that cake! Love the idea of lace and butterflies ~ it’s so unexpected, yet it works perfectly for the holiday!
The whole concept is gorgeous. Well done!
This is amazing! What are the black candy sticks? Where can I find a little birdcage like the one in the photo? I’ve been looking for one for awhile now. :)
LOVE this party! Although I have kids, I like to see party designs that aren’t cutesy. This one is amazing! The cake could also be great for an AlLice in Wonderland party – more the Tim Burton version than the Disney cartoon. The choc bar wrappers also came out great. Love all the details!
That cake is amazing! Gorgeous!!
Where can I get the monster-tini recipe?
