Spider web plates are usually the cartoon kind. These are not. A gold web spins out across a soft pink ground, burgundy roses bloom at the edges, and a single moth rests near the scalloped gold rim, closer to a pressed-flower study than a haunted house.
Cake plates and dessert plates are two names for the same size, and at 8.5 inches this is it: right for a slice of cake, a wedge of pie, two macarons and a berry, or a few passed bites at a cocktail hour. It is also the plate guests pick up and carry, which is the argument for good-looking disposable dessert plates. Nobody is washing them, so the only job left is holding up on the table, and these party plates do it without a single cartoon bat.
Perfect for: a Halloween dessert table, an elegant Halloween party, a vampire soirée, a gothic-glam birthday, a bridal shower in October, or a spooky afternoon tea.
