Shimmer & Delights: Elevating Celebrations Through Elegant Dessert Experiences

Creating memorable moments often begins with thoughtful details, and few elements elevate an event quite like a beautifully curated dessert display. Shimmer & Delights, founded by Betty Mafla, has become a standout provider of luxury dessert tables designed to bring sweetness, elegance, and visual delight to celebrations of every kind.

A Vision Born from Creativity and Celebration

Shimmer & Delights was founded on Betty Mafla’s long-held passion for event design. Originally from Ecuador and part of a proud Hispanic family, Betty always gravitated toward adding sparkle and refinement to gatherings—from social events to corporate occasions. Her appreciation for detail, combined with a love for creating joyful moments, inspired her to bring Shimmer & Delights to life.

Today, the company operates as a family-run business, with support from her husband and three children—Jaqueline, Mateo, and Jessica. Each family member plays a role in bringing events to fruition, making the company not only a creative venture but a shared family achievement.

Crafting Elegant Dessert Tables for Every Occasion

Shimmer & Delights specializes in custom dessert table presentations designed to enhance weddings, quinceañeras, Sweet 16 celebrations, corporate functions, and private events. Each display is crafted with careful attention to theme, color palette, and overall ambiance.

Their signature offerings include:

Custom Dipped Oreos

Beautifully decorated and color-coordinated, these dipped Oreos are tailored to match the event’s aesthetic—whether that involves soft pastels, rich metallics, or bold hues.

Cake Pops and Cake-Sicles

These crowd favorites offer both tasteful design and gourmet flavor. Cake-sicles, often presented in individual boxes, are especially popular for weddings and make ideal guest take-home favors.

Mini Parfaits and Cheesecake Cups

Layered desserts add sophistication and variety to each table. From cheesecake to fruit-filled parfaits, these treats provide guests with an elevated tasting experience.

Gourmet Pretzels and Specialty Sweets

Additional elements such as decorated pretzels, candies, and themed confections contribute texture, color, and visual dimension to the display.

Every presentation is designed with Shimmer & Delights’ signature style—luxurious, cohesive, and full of shimmer, true to the company’s name.

Sweet Solutions for Corporate Clients

In addition to social celebrations, Shimmer & Delights serves corporate clients seeking custom-branded desserts and upscale displays. Personalized treats—such as chocolate-covered Oreos featuring company logos—offer a memorable touch for conferences, promotional events, and employee appreciation gatherings.

A Family-Driven Commitment to Excellence

What sets Shimmer & Delights apart is not only the beauty of their work but the dedication behind it. Betty and her family prioritize incorporating each client’s ideas to create a presentation that is both thoughtful and visually stunning.

“Our focus is always on understanding what the client envisions,” Betty shares. “We strive to bring that vision to life through each detail of the dessert table.”
