Wedding cakes and desserts

Here is my question: what are their mini pastries actually like? For a price point of $18, can we expect anything beyond just dry cookies, or is there some creamy stuff too? Has anyone here tried them?
They made our shortlist because they offer those fruit tables—the setup with 10kg of sliced fruit and a small chocolate fountain is $233, while the one with 15kg of fruit and a large fountain is probably $400... or maybe $467. On top of that, we were thinking about picking up 3-4 kg of mini Napoleon cakes or maybe a few of those little cups filled with jam and cream... It’s just really convenient that they handle everything in one place.
My only real concern is: does everything taste consistent? I noticed they sell little treats at Walmart, so I’m a bit worried they might have a "factory assembly line" vibe where the flavors all taste basically the same.
Does anyone know of any other vendors who offer dessert buffets with fruit? (And I don't mean a full-scale catering service). For another wedding, some people used a Famous local confectioner from a Suburban neighborhood. The price per kg was a bit steep...$37, but honestly, I haven't found anyone who makes a better Canadian cream cake than them. They were delicious... and still great the next day, too. I buy their sweets pretty often, so I know it wasn't just a lucky one-off for that specific wedding 🙂.
Hey... we actually decided to go with them for our desserts... we even ordered a sample box of the exact mix they do for weddings... and every single one was incredible...
Personally, I'm not a fan of apple pie or anything with extra fillers—I prefer pure creams—but I have to admit, even I loved these. Since we had friends over that night, there wasn't a single crumb left on the plates... incredibly delicious and fresh... 🙂)
I'd say they might have a high production volume, but believe me, the flavors are definitely distinct—not just the colors, but the actual taste...
Look, since you didn't get to taste them yet, my advice is to just grab half a pound of various items to try... and be convinced for yourselves. The ones closest to us absolutely blew us away... 😍
