dessert cart
Rolling pastry display
A dessert cart is a wheeled cart from which diners select their final course at a restaurant.
The server rolls it tableside, displaying cakes, pastries, and other sweets for visual temptation: Everything on the dessert cart looked incredible.
The practice peaked in mid-twentieth-century fine dining but persists at traditional establishments.
