Get ready for the new season with this Game of Thrones inspired dessert plate.
Season 6 of Game of Thrones is back and I can barely contain my excitement! It’s the first season that doesn’t have a book to follow (pick it up George, I’m dying here….) and I am really looking forward to seeing how they take the story from here. Since two of my favorite things in life are Game of Thrones and delicious desserts, I thought I’d put them both together and make this Game of Thrones inspired dessert plate for the premiere!
When Chris and I first started watching the series (and I later began reading the books) I fell for the Starks. I think everyone did. They were truly the only likeable characters in the books for me. But then at the end of season one I realized just how terrible it was to get attached to characters. Especially the Starks, because nothing good ever happens to them. Ever.
No book, or season of the show, has been kind to the Stark family. Last season was no exception, with Sansa getting tortured by her new husband (ick), Jon Snow losing the trust of his men, and Arya having a difficult time in the House of Black and White (Valar Morghulis). And Bran? Well, all we know is that he’s with the Three-Eyed Raven at this point. So who knows what wonderful things are waiting for him (totally being sarcastic here….you know it’s nothing good!).
With all the buildup from last season, one thing I know for certain is that winter is coming. Ah, those famous Stark words. I could not be more excited to see what is going to happen! If the Wildling/Whitewalker fight from season five is any indication of the hell that will rain down on The Wall this season, then season six will be EPIC.
Because I’m a Stark fan through and through (and have to believe that things will get better for them at some point), I wanted to celebrate the return of the show with a fun play on the famous Stark words. Want to make your own? It’s super easy!
Easy DIY Game of Thrones Inspired Dessert Plate
This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure page for more information!
You’ll need….
- Silhouette Cameo or Portrait
- Game of Thrones font (download for free here)
- Direwolf vector (downloaded from google and traced in the Silhouette Software program!)
- Permanent Vinyl (I used Expressions Vinyl from here
) - Transfer Tape
- Plain Dish (I bought mine from Target!)
)- First, design your template in the Silhouette software. This took me all of five minutes, honestly! It’s super simple.
- Cut out the design with your Silhouette (or cricut, whichever works!) and then weed the extra vinyl until all you’re left with is the design that will go on your plate.
- Place transfer tape on top of the design and then peel away the backing. Then place your design on the plate. To do this, I measured out where the center was that way my design would look right (I have a problem with rushing and a lot of times my designs are a tad bit off because of it. Not this time!).
- Lift up the transfer tape, step back, and admire your work!
Keep in mind that food and vinyl don’t mix! When you place food on this dish, put down a doily or parchment paper first.
This was such a simple and easy project that I was able to crank it out quickly during nap time! Now I just have to wait for the kiddo to go to bed so I can make some Lemon Cakes (Sansa’s favorite dessert!) to go with the plate. Then we’ll be all ready for the premiere!
Which characters storyline are you most anxious for this season?

Okay, this is seriously the cutest, most awesomest (I don’t care if that’s not a word) dessert plate EVER!
Thanks Rebecca! It was definitely a great way to serve up all the Game of Thrones inspired treats we ate last night. And…we ate a TON. 😉
I LOVE this. I would go perfectly with the many desserts I intent to have to comfort me through the premiere. I’m so excited about it! And wishful that some good vibes come the Starks way — sigh :).
Thank you Olivia! I needed major sweets (and a few glasses of wine) to get me through the Sansa scene at the beginning. So intense! (but oh so good) 😉
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! What a fun way to showcase dessert AND GoT 🙂
Thank you so much! This plate was a fun way to get ready for the new season! 🙂
I think I am the only person on earth who doesn’t watch this show. I want to, but I am waiting until the series is over to start it.
It’s absolute torture having to wait each week for a new episode. And the fact that each season is only 10 episodes long is just not enough! Such a smart move to wait to binge watch once the series is over!
I’m with you Robin, I have watched maybe 2 episodes but I found them to be a little dark. My husband watched quite a few episodes when he was working out of town and he really enjoyed it. We will probably start watching it when it comes out of netflicks so we can binge watch.
This show is definitely not a lighthearted one! But the storylines are so good and they keep me coming back week after week. Once you get into it a bit more you may find you like it (that’s what happened with me!). 🙂
This looks amazing! I have never seen the show but my husband loves the books!
Never watched it or had much interest until I started coming here. Now I want you to put together a post that summarizes all the episodes and do a character analysis, too!
Gahhhhh I am so excited I can’t wait to watch it after I have finished all my work, I just need to know is Jon Snow dead or what? And what the hell is happening to Arya! Too many unfinished questions and I love the desert plate!
So excited for GOT season 6! Didn’t see much of Bran last season so really would like to see his storyline expanded. And John Snow???? So many questions!
OMG I love all of these ideas! The dessert platter is so cute that I want to have a GOT party asap. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
OK I must be one of the only person in the world who haven’t watch a single episode of Game of Thrones. I wonder what I’m truly missing out on. I need to watch a season and see whether it’s worth the hype everyone has been going on about.
Winter is coming… I mean… Desert is coming… lol I love it. Love the dragon cake too. fantastic.
I have never seen Game of Thrones, but these desserts still look delicious. It’s a very good thing watching the show isn’t a prerequisite to eating them!
Game of Thrones is still on my to do list. The dragon cake is so neat!
This is the cutest idea! I haven’t seen this show – but it is one that I have been thinking about a lot, especially with so many people loving it! I might try the books first though 🙂
This is such a great idea – especially with the new series release. Your choices of desserts are fab!
Love this idea. We have often hosted book theme parties for my kids. I need to host GOT for my son. He’s18 but I bet he would love it.
Love this definitely a eye catching piece and easy to make with the silhouette perfect !!!
This looks so fun and delicious! The desserts look amazing! A dessert bar for a Game of Thrones themed party would be a hit!
OMG, THIS IS AWESOME. I am a huge GOT fan, so I am LOVING this post!
Love the plate! I only started watching Game of Thrones recently. I’m on season 3 and I love it. Thanks for sharing.
I love incorporating food into books, television, and movies! Game of Thrones have a big following in my house and we will be doing this.
This would be fun for a party. I bet my husband would like this. Amber N
I love having a themed party! This plate is adorable.
wow this looks so good – well done. The photos are amazing and this is such a great idea I need to have some fun with my Silhouette more.
I love the parfaits. Come to think of it, I have not had one of those in a long time.
Confession… I’ve never watched an episode of Game of Thrones. 🙂 But, if there were a dessert plate like this every time I definitely would!! lol
Those array of desserts are so yummy! I wish I could pick one right off the screen! LOL! Thanks for sharing. This is certainly a delicious way to enjoy watching an episode of Game of Thrones!
As a GOT fan, this is awesome! That cake looks so delicious, would be great for a viewing party.
I have never seen this show but I love the theme. I love the dessert plate!
I have to admit, I have never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones…but I love the dessert plate. It is super cute and something I could make with my Cricut! And all these desserts look absolutely amazing!
Oh my goodness… I adore this. Super cute idea and love it a lot. I think I will try to make this some time. Thank you for sharing this idea! That dragon scale cake looks fantastic!!
