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

“These decorated cakesicles are a novel way to serve cake and make a fun alternative to cupcakes and cake pops. (See also my separate post about themed cakesicles.)

If your budget won’t stretch to large quantities, offer a small number of cakesicles—to add some visual flair—alongside other more budget-friendly, homemade, or store-bought cake treats, such as regular cupcakes, cake in jars, cake push-up pops, or cake pops.

Check out my separate post on cakesicle stands for creative ways to display them on your dessert table.”
