For a dandy-themed graduation party in Hollywood, Canvas & Canopy designed a dessert buffet that eschewed the twee look in favor of a sophisticated display of treats on cake stands made from vintage candlesticks and shelves built using industrial pipes.

Marcy Blum Associates built a bakery-style display case to offer guests breakfast-to-go treats from New York bakeries at the end of a wedding reception.

At the Campfire Ball benefit for Children’s Oncology Services in May at Venue One in Chicago, Cork Catering set up a make-your-own s’mores station.

Inspired by the food truck craze, Abigail Kirsch in New York created roving carts to bring guests desserts and beverages, like gelato with dipped miniature cones and toppings, or sangria and punch.

A baked-goods station had sweet bites, including mini brownie squares, sugary doughnut holes, and bite-size chocolate chip cookies.

Silver Lining In Flight Catering provided an extensive dessert bar at the after-party.

At the doughnut station, guests could top freshly baked plain doughnuts with white or milk chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or colored sprinkles.

Last year, Fox's after-party offered a wide selection of pies and this year the network tapped Brooklyn doughnut bakery Dough to provide its tasty treats for guests. Options include dulce de leche with almonds, salt and pink pepper, and hibiscus.  Also similar to last year's outing was an area dedicated to photo ops with Fox talent. Organizers set up a series of stages where guests to meet and pose with actors and notables like Simon Cowell, Mindy Kaling (whose series The Mindy Project was picked up by the network), and Kevin Bacon.
