What Should You Serve at a Desserts Only Wedding Reception

In order to make sure there was something for everyone at our Dessert Only Wedding we also included a vegetable tray and a fruit tray. This really went over well. Lots of people went for the vegetables and dip. We were so glad that we chose to add vegetables and fruit to our menu.

Back to our question though... What should you serve at a Dessert Only Wedding? Whatever you want of course! It should be things you like and things that you know your guest will enjoy. There really isn't much you couldn't serve as long as it was displayed correctly.

If you have ice cream on a hot day you better have some way to keep it cold until time to serve. Things that are sticky you might want to individually wrap. Some candy comes individually wrapped like candy kisses. We also had dipping spoons for things like M&M's.

We had popcorn balls (we made these small and cute), cupcakes (frosted with rope frosting and in wedding colors), rice crispy treats, yummy white cream cheese cookies (with big sugar flakes on them), plain cheese cake from Costco (toppings were homemade huckleberry sauce, chocolate, strawberry's, use your imagination). The cheese cake went really fast. This is so easy too. It comes pre-cut and all you do is put the topping on. We had cheesecake slices with several different toppings for our guest to choose from.

 

We also had a family member make very yummy homemade chocolate pies with the graham cracker crust. The only problem was they were made that day and had not firmed up enough by the wedding reception time. Most of them couldn't be served because they just fell apart. After they had been in the refrigerator awhile they were fine. Some things will not turn out as planned, it's ok.

A Dessert Only Wedding is a good choice. We had a 7:00 pm wedding and we noticed people ate a lot less. We actually had way too much dessert. The people who stayed to help clean up didn't mind. They got to take home lots of goodies.

 

In the end it comes down to what you have time to make, how will you keep it hot/cold until needed, and how will you display it. Don't be afraid to do what you want. What's that old saying? Where there is a will there is a way. Go for it!
