Why do the restaurants sprinkle powdered sugar on a dish with a spoon for dessert.?

Question

I went to a Pub in down town Cleveland last nite and ordered dessert but first they brought a dish with the spoon on it sprinkled with Powdered sugar and a little while later they brought the dessert. I asked the waitress and she had no clue.

Answer 1

It's just a classy way to serve dessert

Answer 2

It's decorative food presentation. That's all, no "real" rhyme or reason, just looks pretty.

Answer 3

It was probably dandruff from the waitress.  Did you check her shoulders to see if she had any flakes?

Answer 4

FOR PRESENTATION ITS SUPPOSED TO MAKE U FEEL LIKE UR GETTNG MORE THEN U PAID FOR HOW MUCH WAS THE DESSERT AND WAS IT WORTH THE EXTRA 2 BUCKS U PAID FOR THAT GARNISHED PRESENTATION

Answer 5

Never heard of that
