Well I have certainly made a lot of friends since moving to Israel. My newest pals are a sister team of event designers from the city of Modiin. Nesia and Daphna run A La Mode Designer Desserts, Designer Parties. And I tapped them to create a vibrant, modern, unexpected Chanukah dessert table. Watch this video and learn how to recreate this thing of beauty step-by-step. It’s also filled with lot’s of little take-away ideas for gifts, sweets, and snacks that can be incorporated into any party.
Here’s a little more from behind the scenes:
This is a closeup of one side of the dessert table. Note that the sisters from A La Mode (visit them on Facebook here) suggest displaying like fruits together in mini martini glasses instead of a mixed fruit salad – it enhances the bold graphic look of this table. The black and white zigzag pattern is repeated many times over in the table runner, paper cones, straws, and picture frames. And check out the messaging, “Take a Gift” lets your guests know these little candy boxes are party favors. Watch the How To Video and learn how to make the paper cones and candy boxes.
When hosting a house party Nesia and Daphna say it’s important to carry the theme throughout the house – don’t just relegate the goods to one party table. Here this coffee table doubles as a doughnut buffet including candies, chocolates, and paper goods that mimic the dessert table color scheme. If the party extends to the outdoors or other rooms of the house don’t forget to put out a little somethin’ to pull the entire look together.

Id love to do a dessert table for my grandsons. Thomas the train! Blue candies for Thomas, green for Percy, red for James! So many possibilities.
Love the layout
Great video and ideas. I love Mike and Ikes
Looks like fun. My kids and dentist would love these.
Peanut Chews are great! I personally do not make any sweets at home – but I love to buy them haha
Loved the ideas of the round peanutchews
I love the table and I’m a big Mike n Ike fan.
What an incredibly beautiful and unique looking table! and the gift ideas are ‘other-worldly’! It gives me the urge to already start preparing for our annual family Channukah gathering at great-grandad’s house. thanks SO much. Bye now, gotta run and buy those Mike ‘n Ikes before the shop sells out!
The mini cupcakes on the desert table were cute. Where can I get the recipe?
Such a fun dessert presentation, thanks!
I’m going to use this idea on the “kids” table for Thanksgivanukkah!
Beautiful, and I love peanut chews!!
This video was great, love the new ideas. Happy Chanukah!
Wow so cool!
thank you so much for the great chanukah ideas! keep em coming!
The dessert table is beautiful and creative. I’ve always been sort-of intimidated by the idea of trying to create a dessert table, but you make it sound simple enough (and worth it) to give it a try! We are having a family get-together this Chanukah and I think the whole family would get a kick out of a Mike and Ike menorah!
LOVE IT! THANKS JOYOFKOSHER 🙂
LOVE Goldenbergs peanut chews & mike n Ike’s
looks like a fun party!

Please post more party setup tips and ideas!
goldenberg’s peanut chews were the best treat ever-brings back such memories!
I love Peanut Chews!
My dentist will love you if I were to win!
i have actually never tried them!
I can remember sharing packages of Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews with my mother as if it was just yesterday. She passed away over 40 years ago, but I can see her, feel her touch, see her smile and taste a peanut chew as we shared each and every package we got. What sweet memories!?!
Love the ideas (and the candy)!
My mother passed away many years ago, after I turned 19. Nonetheless, I can clearly remember her sharing a pack of Peanut Chews with me whenever she had them. I can envision a pack of Goldenberg Peanut Chews sitting in her pocketbook, as clearly as if it was yesterday. A sweet memory on so many levels!
WOW!!! I loved the Mike & Ike Menorah. I wasn’t planning on making a Hanukka party but now I really want to recreate that whole table at my house. AMAZING!!!
Yes I have tried these scrumptious peanut chews; I order them online, because these are not sold in Malone NY.
As a food historian, I have always wanted to try making a lovely Kosher Dessert table; the step by step instructions are awesomely helpful!
Peanut chews are my all time favorite. I think I once pulled a tooth out chewing those guys but it hasn’t stopped me!!
I would enjoy it
nice ideas
loved the ideas, keep them coming.
loved this video–great ideas! i’m a goldenberg’s peanut chews fan from WAY back when!!
The desert table looks beautiful. Loved the tips for carrying the theme throughout the home. Never realized how easy it is to make cones and they match! Happy Hannukah!
Its really cool! Love it!!
That mike and ike menorah display is absolutely gorgeous!
Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews were a treat that we could enjoy growing up because everyone knew it was kosher and we didn’t have to question whether or not it was okay to eat.
