How To Make Your New Year’s Eve Dessert

• Gather your favorite white and silver sweets. These can be cookies, chocolates, or candies. 

• Pick a few gold items as well, but not too many so that they’ll stand out more against the white and silver. 

• Use the gold candies to spell out 2024 – the examples shown are from 2020! Place these gold candies on your board first. Then fill in the white and silver sweets next. 

• To make it look like a real festive party platter, add in some fun cake toppers (or cupcake toppers). This Happy New Year cake topper was perfect, as were these star cupcake toppers. See also SHOP THIS POST below for additional options. 

Other Occasions For A Numerical Board

This board would also be great for a birthday party. Write out the birthday boy/girl’s age and use a Happy Birthday cake topper instead. In fact, you could easily change the colors to accommodate the party themes. Just make sure the color that you are using to showcase the number contrasts the surrounding colors enough to stand out. For instance, in the board above, silver wouldn’t have stood out enough against the white, so I chose gold.

And here are a couple birthday cupcake toppers (here and here).

You could also use this as inspo for a CLASS OF 2024 graduation. You could find cute “Class of 2024” toppers for the occasion. 

Another Take on this Idea

In lieu of spelling the numbers out with candy, these number-shaped dishes are an easy option to help you create the perfectly shaped 2024. Fill them with candy on a dessert board or savory items on a large cheese board.
