Wedding cakes and desserts in Weddings ·
We had these incredible pralines, mini mochas, and little chocolate truffles from Austin... seriously, they were out of this world! A buddy of mine who couldn't make it to the wedding actually called me up the other day just to hunt down their contact info, because word on the street was that the dessert spread was legendary. The venue manager actually set them all out on these cute little fancy plates for us before tucking them away in the fridge. My friend was still raving about that specific moment when he saw those rich, glossy chocolate ganaches being carried over to the table 🙂

Thanks, thanks, thanks for getting back to me! 😍

Which bakery did you get that dessert buffet from?

And do you have any idea roughly how many pounds that was, or how many people it actually fed? 😕😕 😕

I went to this wedding once that had a huge dessert spread instead of a traditional cake, and honestly, it was such a vibe.

ugh,
these cookies are seriously going to be the death of me. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I mean, how is it even possible that I can't get one single straight answer from anyone I email???? Like, if I’ve got 90 people coming to my wedding, how many pastries am I supposed to order for a dessert buffet?! I actually talked to someone at a local bakery here in Chicago, and they had the nerve to tell me that you should serve less per person, but when I tried to follow up and ask what "less" actually meant, they just completely ghosted that part of my email 😠 🙂.....

Has anyone here actually pulled off a massive DESSERT BAR WITH MINI COOKIES AND TRUFFLES at their wedding????

Please, please, please give me some advice on how you made it work without losing your mind! 🙂

I'm having Angie's Cakes out of small-town Ohio whip it up for me 😍
They can stack it two or three tiers high—but it'll be the identical design 🙂

So, thanks blackpanther 😁 div>

Ugh, I can't find Angie’s Sweets on Facebook for the life of me? 🙈

I tried searching Google too, but literally nothing is coming up...

Can someone please drop a link!?

Daniel Smith8 said:The standard rule of thumb is about 0.3 to 0.5 pounds per person.

And how many pounds does that actually work out to according to your math?

That sounds kind of sketchy to me—if I’m counting 5 pastries per person... how am I even supposed to figure out the total weight if I don't know how many pastries make up a pound?! 😕

Math nerds, I need help over here!!!!

By my own messy calculations, we're looking at something like 28 pounds of sweets, or did I totally screw that up too?!

I seriously hate math 🙂

Hey, can someone give me a heads-up on how many pounds of dessert I actually need to grab for a dessert buffet if I'm hosting about 90 people?
