Have you been to a wedding or an event where you find yourself raving about the dessert weeks later? Of course no one goes to an event FOR the dessert specifically. However, as the final stage of the meal, it may be one aspect your guest remember most.

Types of Dessert Catering Ideas
Often, when people are planning weddings or other special events, they focus much of their attention on the food. And rightfully so, as the cuisine of the event is very important! They put a lot of consideration into the menu and the type of service (whether that means tray passed appetizers, sit down meal or attendee-served buffet stations). On some occasions, people consider the dessert as an afterthought, but it should be equally as important.
Traditional wedding cakes are still a staple of classic weddings. However, people have also been getting creative and offering personalized cakes, cookies and candy bars. Of course the specific dessert and presentation will depend on the type of wedding or event you are looking to cater, but here are some fun ideas we think you and your guests willl love:
- Ice cream bar – Guests love this idea because it brings back fun childhood memories. You could even do a play off a root beer float and use a yummy stout beer instead of root beer.
- Macarons – macarons are a crowd favorite for sophisticated receptions as they are elegant and delicious! You can serve them in individual packages at each table seat for a cute personal touch.
- Donut bar – featuring all types of donuts as well as white and chocolate milk in small shooter cups with a cute striped straw. You can even spike the milk and serve a white Russian or another fun frothy cocktail. Another idea is to serve the donuts on an interactive wall.
- S’mores bar – you can involve your guests by creating a fun s’mores bar. This involves guests roasting their own marshmallows tableside or outside on the firepit.
- Cookie bar with all types of cookies and brown bags so your guests can take some home for a late night snack.
- Summer inspired desserts featuring shaved ice and cotton candy for a fun magical effect your guests will love.
