A dessert fork or spoon should be laid horizontally above the dinner place. If both a dessert spoon and dessert fork are present, the fork should be closer to the plate. The fork should have its tines to the right, and the spoon should have its bowl to the left. It is also acceptable for the dessert fork or spoon to be brought in with the dessert.
These can be placed either horizontally above the dinner plate (the spoon on top with its handle facing to the right; the fork below with its handle facing left); or beside the plate.
