Best Answer

In a formally set table, if the dessert fork is placed at the time of the original setting it is placed horizontally, above the dinner plate tines pointing to the right. (the dessert spoon sits above it with the bowl pointing left)

If the table setting is less formal the dessert fork comes to the table with the dessert.

In a buffet style setting the forks are set on the table near the napkins and dessert plates.

Where does the dessert fork go on a table setting?

A dessert fork or spoon should be laid horizontally above the dinner place. If both a dessert spoon and dessert fork are present, the fork should be closer to the plate. The fork should have its tines to the right, and the spoon should have its bowl to the left. It is also acceptable for the dessert fork or spoon to be brought in with the dessert.

Where do the dessert spoons go on a table setting?

It really depnds on what you're serving for dessert . On the table , it can be the last spoon on the outside left , or at the top of the dinner plate . Anything like a compote or ice cream will be served in a compote or parfait dish wth a saucer underneath and the spoon may be on the serving plate. This is not a hard and fast rule , and may be safely bent. In England the spoon would be laid on the right.

How do you set a table?

Buy the things on the "Things You'll Need" part of the page.Place the chargers on the table, then put the plates on top of each.Fold the napkin lengthwise, and loop through the ring. Place it in the middle of each plate.Place the forks on the left side of the plate. The salad fork should be toward the far left, the main course fork closer to the plate. (the salad fork is the smaller one).Place the knives and spoons on the right side. The knives should be closer to the plate, with the spoons on the far right. Make sure the sharp part of the knife is pointing toward the inside of the plate. It will go in the order of: steak (big) knife, little knife, big spoon, little spoon.Place the dessert fork above the plate and the dessert spoon above the fork. (The pointy part of the fork will be pointed toward the right, the spoon mouth will be pointed toward the left.)On the left side of the plate (above the forks), you will place the bread plate with butter knife on top, edge-to-edge.On the top right, set the two glasses.Step back. Your work is finished. You have created the Mona Lisa of Tables! ha ha
