Dessert Buffet
Most couples who are getting married in this troubling world economy will settle for what they can afford. However, for the lucky few, there is a lot more money to spare which would entail more options when it comes to the decor and the menu selection.
One of the most wonderful features of a lavish wedding is the dessert buffet. People treat weddings as the time when they can forget their new zoning diets and just let themselves enjoy whatever is on the table.
Variety
Dessert buffets usually have at least 4 different kinds of sweet treats for the guests, providing the kind of diversity that is rarely seen in weddings.
Here are some of the most scrumptious desserts you can have for the buffet:
Creme Brulee
Mini Wedding Cakes (miniature version of your wedding cake)
Chocolate Fondue / Chocolate Fountain
Chocolate Sufflee
Cookies
Tiramisu Cupcakes
Raspberry Filled Chocolate Bars
Strawberry Layer Cake
Dessert Combination
If you want the dessert buffet to really live up to its role which is to entertain the palate, choosing the desserts in the buffet will be critical. The general rule is to not have any two similar tasting dessert on the table. For instance, if you already have a chocolate souffle, the mini cakes have to be of a different flavor such as raspberry or blueberry.
Trial Tasting
Having a dessert buffet will be expensive and you surely want to get your money’s worth on this so trial tasting is very important before you set the dessert menu. Contact a competent caterer who can provide you with everything for the reception including the entire menu for the event, set a meeting and make sure that you specifically discuss what you want for the dessert buffet.
Entertain suggestions and make sure that you taste each dessert choice and have someone to help you make the decision. 4 or 5 dessert choices will be enough for the buffet. Having more will only be a waste of money and food because no one really stuff themselves with too many sweets especially if you are already serving quite a heavy entree.
One of the most important things to remember when it comes to dessert buffets is the presentation. No matter how delicious the food is on the table, it still pays to have a perfect arrangement.
The dessert buffet table will look very elegant right beside the wedding cake or the ice sculpture (if you have one)
