  • Custom photo; opportunity to show guest of honor when they were younger or at different ages ‘through the years’

the why

variety of dessert table treats

  • Feeding v Entertaining; special event party food should have two objectives:
  • Feeding; 70% should be crowd-pleasing, familiar, and palatable ‘safe’ options intended to leave guests feeling well-fed
  • Entertaining; 30% should be to treat your guests, surprise them, indulge them, impress them, share experiences with them, and even help them discover new things
  • Unusual; 10% of that 30% should be quirky, unfamiliar, adventurous, fun treats that get people talking
  • Visual; 10% of that 30% should be visually arresting treats that contribute to presentation and add wow factor
  • Favorite things; 10% of that 30% should be treats that reflect your own personality and taste

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

“Any product that allows you to personalize it with—or based on—a photo is a great opportunity to use an old photo of the guest of honor from when they were younger.

In this case you could buy multiple custom caricature cookie cutters using either two ‘then & now’ style photos or three different photos showing them ‘through the years’.

This makes the cookies even more unique and entertaining for party guests; especially for milestone birthdays and occasions such as anniversaries, graduation, and retirement.

The thing I like about these cookie cutters is that you can either serve the cookies straight out of the oven or, if you have time, they only require minimal decoration to really make them pop (as shown in the image below).

Caricature cookies will definitely add a visual wow-factor to your dessert table, but don’t forget you could also serve them in individual cellophane bags for guests to take home as party favors.

Alternatively, use them as a garnish / topping to embellish more basic or homemade desserts, such as cakes, puddings, and mousses.“
