I tend to spend a ton of time reading up on things and hunting for advice, so I figured I’d share some of my own recent decisions with you all. We ended up ordering some treats from The Candy Shop, and grabbed the cake from M&M's☕

Maria Ramirez4 said:Can someone, pretty please, give me a hand here? I need to figure out how many cookies I should order for 200 people.
I need enough for the venue, a little bit for my house and my partner's place, plus some extra to take back home.
I'm totally lost on the math—how many ounces per person? Maybe 4 or 5?
And for the takeout containers, what’s a standard serving size? Like 7 or 10 ounces?
Please help 🙂🙂🙂

You’re definitely on the right track. I was told to plan for about 4 to 6 ounces per person for the actual event, but honestly, it really just depends on how much you want to stash away for later. Personally, I think budgeting for 7 or 8 ounces per person covers all bases. Your best bet is to talk to the bakery where you're ordering—they deal with this all the time and can give you a much more precise estimate based on what you're picking out...

I just picked up some sample cakes from Magnolia Bakery to try them out, and honestly, they are delicious—especially that chocolate mousse one. I’m curious to hear what you all think... has anyone here recently had one of their wedding cakes or tried any of their other desserts?
